NEW!!!! Here is the link to my podcasts. My ESOL class loves jazz chants, music and poetry. There is also some dictation for listening practice. The latest two podcasts have Powerpoints of the bush walks. Go to Archives for the Powerpoints or just the texts.

October is the second month of our spring. The weather is changeable with rain, there are lots of rainbows, gusty winds and there is sometimes snow in the mountain areas. It is sometimes hot and you can get sunburnt.

Apple, cherry and citrus trees have blossoms, animals have babies and love is in the air!

Labour Day is at the end of the month and Daylight Saving means there is more time outside for activities in the evenings. Cricket begins and some Aucklanders go for their first summer swims from now on.

This site always has new stuff every month so come back soon!!

See 'This months activities' or links (also in the menu bar above for more culture.)
