Week 3


G'day all

I hope you've all had a good week. The weather has been a bit strange going from quite cold mornings to pleasant days. However, in my office it's been winter for a few weeks now!

Some of you produced very good summaries last week. Well done! Your posts on the wallwisher were interesting too!

As you are aware, Sunday 13th May is Mother's Day. Do a little web search and find the answers to these questions. When was the first Mother's Day celebrated and why? Is it celebrated all around the world? Is it on the same day? How do people celebrate this event? Is it celebrated differently in your country? Write your answers in a short report on your blog. Include a photo if you can. (Ask me how to do this if you don't know)

For today's other activity, I'd like you to check out Topics 8 & 9 on the Moodle. (See the link on the sidebar on the right hand side of this page) Read the newspaper article and answer the attached questions! Print it out and complete the exercises. Hand it up to me when you've finished it.

To all the mothers in the class, Happy Mother's Day for Sunday. I hope you have a lovely day.

Happy blogging!
