Week 6

What is this? Post your guess in comments G'day and welcome to another class. I hope by now that you have caught up on all the work you're supposed to have done on your blog. Today is your last chance to catch up so get a move on....

As the Health Expo is on June 4 we need to focus our attention on Health and Lifestyle. Go to our f2f wiki, the Events page, and follow the instructions below the Health Expo.

Let's see if we can do it! As you'll be preparing food to 'sell' on the day, we have to turn our attention to healthy recipes. Think about what you're going to make and write the recipe in your blog. Add a picture from the net. To help you with the nutritional values of the dish you're preparing, look at CalorieKing and you can see if what you've chosen is indeed a healthy option!

That should keep you busy so i won't give you anything else to complete today!

Happy blogging!

Week 5

Some of the colours in Sydney gardens at the moment!

G'day and welcome to another week.

I enjoyed reading your posts on If I could be an animal I'd be a... Have a look at your classmates blogs and write a comment with your opinion. I got a chance this week to look at all your blogs and I wrote a comment on most of your posts. Check out what I wrote!

Some of you are doing GREAT work! Lots of posts, photos and links! Have a look for yourselves and see what you think! I especially like Helen and Lisa's blogs as they have done more than the set work! Well done!

Did any of you look at the site on formal writing last week? I guess you won't want to now as you've already completed the assessment for Andrew!! Have you tried the online environment game or checked out yappr? If not do so now!

Once again I need to remind you about headphones/microphones so you can listen to the texts on Time4English or check out podcasts!

Not many of you have completed the recount from a few weeks back. Please do this today. You can print off the text structure from the blog page to help you.

When you've done that, check out Time4English and have a look at Upper Intermediate/Advanced , Module 4- the world. You can do the listening on 4F and when finished that, you can try some grammar practice with 4B, 4C, 4D & 4E.

Happy blogging!

Week 4

The Fab Four!

G'day all

I hope you all had a great weekend and I especially hope that all the mothers among you had an extra special time yesterday! I had a busy time going twice to the airport! Once to pick up my eldest daughter and then to drop another one off!! Then it was home to a relaxing afternoon and a DVD!

I haven't had a chance to check on the progress of your blogs but I'll be doing it this week! I hope you're all up to date! I'll be giving you a checklist next Monday to make sure your on track!

Rosa's class is also learning how to write formal letters and she has a useful link on her blog. It's called speakspeak writing formal letters. Have a look for yourself!

The following text is from Rosa's blog and I'd like you to do the exercises too!

Water Saving:

This term Andrew is going to be talking to you about the environment. There is a new online game called Mission H2o. It is on water conservation and teaches players how to improve water usage at home. You can win an ipod if you play all the games. Tell your kids and friends about it! Closing Date: Friday 30th May 2008 at 5.00pm.

Personal Texts:
As you know, a blog is very useful to express your own thoughts and opinions. View this blog from one of Sally's students (AMEP-B 2007), Bo Liang's Blog. Do the same topic as Bo, If I could be an animal....

Choose and animal you would like to be and write about it.

Did any of you manage to get a look at yappr and check out the videos? Hopefully they'll open from here. You really do need headphones/microphones very soon if we're going to do podcasts!

Happy blogging!
