The Migrant Information Day

Yesterday my class and I went to Rockdale Town Hall to join the Migrant Information Day.
We left school at 12:00PM. Miya picked me up in her car. Other students went there in other cars.
Firstly when we arrived there we saw a lot of people in the room.
Then we saw there were two dancers showing Thai dancing on the stage.
After that we went around the room and talked to some people who worked for the Migrant Information Day. Some of them from TAFE, some of them from government, some of them from some Chinese association. They offered information on employment, education and training, health, housing and much more. I got a little bit information from them.
Finally we went back home early, because we felt boring there.

Double Ninth Festival

This morning I called my Mum, she told me today is the Chongyang Festival.
In China the 9th day of the 9th lunar month is the traditional Chongyang Festival, or Double Ninth Festival.
On the Double Ninth Festival, people usually climb mountains or towers (people do this just to hope progress in everything they are engaged in), appreciate chrysanthemum flowers, drink chrysanthemum wine, and eat double-ninth cakes. In Chinese, cake has the same pronunciation with height.
The Double Ninth Festival is also the "Old Men Festival". Old people are especially meant to improve their health by taking part in the activities on the day of the festival.

BUNDEEN EXCURSION

BubbleShare: Share photos - Here comes Halloween!

We went to Bundeena for our excursion last term.
In the morning we got the ferry from Cronulla to Bundeena. It took about 20 minutes. When we arrived the Royal National Park we started to walking. We walked thought some roads and a long beach. The beach’s name is Jibbon beach. Then we went into the shrubbery. After 15 minutes climbing and walking we arrived at the famous Aboriginal rock engravings. It made by the Dharawal, who lived in the Bundeena area up to 5,000 years ago. They engraved some animals on the rock ---- kangaroo, Whale, stingray and turtle. The engraving could be from 200 to about 5,000 years old. So when we walked on the rock we were very careful.
The weather in that day was very strange. Sometimes shining and sometimes raining. On the way back to the club we met a very heavy rain. Luckily, most of us brought our umbrella.
After had our lunch in the club we went back to Cronulla. I didn’t go back home on the instant. My friends and I did some shopping at Cronulla. I bought a blue sling and ate a mango- chocolate icecream.
