Week 7

Wordle: Untitled


There are 2 sentences hiding in this WORDLE. Can you unjumble them and write them in COMMENTS at the end of this post? The first words have capital letters (The and I). The bigger words mean that those words are in both sentences! Good luck!

G'day all

I can't believe that we've come to the end of the term already! It has gone quickly, hasn't it? Today is an opportunity for you to catch up on any work that hasn't been done.

By now you should all have the following posts in your blogs:

  1. Information about yourself, where you come from, how long you've been in Australia, things you like etc and also a photo of where you come from and a link to a website where people can read more about your country.
  2. A paragraph with answers to the story about Bananas.
  3. A post about Father's Day
  4. A post about someone who's on Australian banknotes.
If you are up to date then you can do the following work.

On Tuesday most of you had a bit of trouble with tag questions so try these exercises to help you understand them a bit more. Print them off if you want!

Have a go at this fun language game! You won't forget to read the instructions, will you?

If you still have time left, open the Living English link (in the menu on the right hand side of the blog) and continue from where you got up to last time.

Have an enjoyable break from TAFE and I hope to see you all back on Oct 11 for a short 8 week term!

Week 5/6



G'day all

I hope you all enjoyed the 'holiday' from this class last week! Did any of you work on your blogs or were you too busy doing the sheets I gave you!

On Tuesday afternoon we looked at the story of Mary Reibey whose picture is on the $20 note. Someone asked about the other notes so I thought that you could find out that information today! Have a look at this link and look at the pictures of the Second Series (1991-). Choose ONE person who is  pictured on the notes. Print off this worksheet and answer the questions. Click on the link to this website and type in the person's name in the SEARCH box. If there is a lot of information, you can use the Life Summary menu on the right side of the page. This will give you the most of the information you need!

When you've done that, write the answers in your blog.

Good luck and happy blogging!
