Wow! What a wonderful video you've created for your online friends in Chicago. I bet they will all want to come and visit Melbourne to see it for themselves. Maybe when you grow up, you could all work for Tourism Australia!

Dear students in Chicago,
ReplyDeleteThanks for your questions.We call field trips excursions. This year we've been to Task Works (a fun activity centre that explores the way we learn),Healesville Sanctuary (where our animals live in their natural habitats) and Blackburn Lake (to see our local animal habitats). When you saw us with the bat and ball, we were playing a fun version of the game called cricket.The proper games is played with a wooden bat and a small, leather ball.
Seven of our 25 students play competitive basketball. Baseball is played but it's a minor sport in Australia.We call your football, soccer, because we play another game called football or "Aussie Rules!"
Enjoy your holidays. It's school time here.
Best wishes from
The Middle Matters
Hi everyone,

Hi Middles
ReplyDeleteThis learning exchange with your new friends in Chicago (the windy city, much like Melbourne!)is fantastic. I look forward to reading more about the learning experiences that you might share in the future.
From Ms Scott
It was clever how you faded the music in and out. Slim Dusty was a good choice. My favorite place in Melbourne is the Strand arcade where Gog and Magog strike the clock.

Congratulations! What a great video! I can't wait to show it to my pupils. And your English is so clear that they are going to understand almost everything.
