Modelling My Writing

Hi team,

Here is the first draft of my writing today for you to look at, pull apart, get ideas from and critique. Post the next sentence(s) in the comment section.

The door swung open and the wind came gushing in. A man appeared in the doorway carrying what looked like a large bag, could have been a suitcase. He limped inside so as to move closer to the now blazing fire. As he removed the hood on his large jacket I could see his face. He looked exhausted. I gestured to him to take a seat on the old sofa and he gratefully obliged. The rusty kettle whistled like a locomotive so I took it from the stove and poured two cups of tea.


As the warm tea brought colour back to his seemingly frostbitten face, I noticed a small trickle of blood running down his cheek……

Hi team,

I wonder who has checked the blog....

Don't forget we are having a Rich Challenges check in tomorrow to see where you are all at. Hopefully a lot better than the Blues....another loss to the Brumbies:-P

See ya all tomorrow!

The Modern Learning Environment


What do we know? What questions do we have?

As you start to think about the Modern Environment and how it will/should work post your questions or make statements in the comment box.

Start, Middle and End of the Day Greetings in Japanese



Hi team,

As you know we have started to learn Japanese language this term. It is exciting new learning for all of us and one of the first things that we need to do is learn basic greetings and some daily protocols.

This is the protocol for greeting and saying goodbye to teachers in the morning and afternoon.

- kiritsu
- ki o tsuke
- rei

- sensei ohayou gozaimasu/konnichi wa/sayounara

- chakuseki

Everyone can lead so practise this until you get it right.

Ganbatte kudasai (please try hard)
