Unfortunately, our teacher couldn't come because she had a very bad back pain. We felt very sorry for her but we had a replacement teacher and off course, the show must go on.
We started our day watching a DVD about the Australian Bush. The teacher made some notes about new vocabulary and explained it to us afterwards.
The DVD finished around lunch time, so we set up the table for all the food that we brought. We had a lot of different kinds food from many countries. As we ate our lunch, we also took a lot of pictures.
We also took our class picture, too bad it was minus our teacher.
In some western countries around Christmas, some families or offices share in a "Kris Kringle" tradition where everybody buys a present to be exchanged for another. As this term finished around Christmas time, we decided to have a "Kris Kringle" between our class mates. Everybody was so excited while they exchanged their presents.
We also had prepared a special gift for Marion, our class teacher. But as she was not here, we asked the relief teacher to pass the gift on. Hope she will like it.
After we exchanged our email addresses and phone numbers, one by one our classmates left. Some of us hung around until the final moments, promising to keep in touch and have lunch together sometime. Yes, our time together as students maybe over, but some of us have really made lasting friendships here.
Merry Christmas everyone and I hope we will have a bright New Year.
