HELLO FROM SYDNEY

Hello 1M!
Yes, lots of you guessed correctly - I'm in Sydney!

I flew down with Virgin Blue (good observation skills, Jarvis) and I had a good flight, even though I was nervous to start with because I hadn't been on a plane for 27 years!

Unfortunately I haven't been able to see much of Sydney as I'm in workshops all day and my hotel, the Stamford Plaza, is right near the airport. (you got that one right, Johanna)

Today I shared what we have been doing with our blog and all the teachers were amazed at how clever you all are. We might even have some new buddies to connect with in a school in Western Australia!

You were all very clever at reading the map I made for you...and the question that had the answer 1 1/2 hours?
Flynn was the one who put on his thinking cap - the question was 'how long did it take for me to fly to Sydney?
Strangely, my flight home is only supposed to be 5 minutes less.
So how long will that be?

Can't wait to see you all Wednesday.

CALLUM'S HOLIDAY NEWS!






Hi Mrs M and 1M.

I have had a wonderful holiday. I went to Townsville to visit some friends. We went on an aeroplane. It was fun. The Easter Bunny found us even though we weren't at home. He sent us on a Easter Egg Hunt. I found my eggs in the Linen Cupboard. Because it was so hot, my Dad took us to the water park where there is a big water bucket that fills up and spills down over everybody. We also went to the Anzac Memorial Park in Townsville. It was really interesting. On the way home, the plane had some problems with the bags, so an Air Hostess took my brother and I to meet the pilots. Cool!!!!
See you all next week,
Love Callum

FLYNN'S HOLIDAY NEWS!



Hi Mrs M and 1M!

I hope you are all having a great holiday! I’ve just come back from my grandparents farm at Esk! We had so much fun there!
I helped feed the cows and goats and went for rides on the tractor.
We made an Easter egg tree and ate toasted hot cross buns. I woke up very early on Easter Sunday morning and went hunting for eggs at 6am!
We ate chocolate for breakfast, lunch and dinner. We went to church then we played barefoot lawn bowls in the afternoon.
I am very tired now but can’t wait to catch up with what’s happening on the blog!

See you all soon
Flynn
