Isabella wants to know, "What is a favorite Australian meal?"
Alyssa is curious about, "Which ocean is Sydney located on?"
Sasha wonders, "What games do they play in Australia?"
Jordyn asks, "What do Australians like to do for fun?"
Dylan wants to know, "What is the weather like? Is it hot there or cold?"
Kyla wonders "What is their favorite ocean?"
Ellison wants to know if Australians speak with an accent.
Hana asks "What type of animals are in Australia?"
Royce is curious about what type of gems are in Australia.
Dear Mrs. Levy and class,
ReplyDeleteI was so excited to read that you are studying about Australia! We have good blogging buddies there. The teacher is named Miss McGeady and her class is called 2KM. They recently sent us a book called Possum Magic by Mem Fox. You can borrow the book if you want and I even have lesson plans that were sent to me from Miss McGeady.
If you need any questions answered, I'm sure you could ask them. After all they are real Australians! :-)
Here is a link to their blog!
2KM
Have fun learning about Australia!
Your pal,
Mrs. Yollis
@Mrs. Yollis,
ReplyDeleteThank you so much for your blogging buddies information and comment. I hope they can help us with our questions about Australia.
We read Possum Magic just yesterday and loved it. My favorite part is when Grandma Poss and Hush take a culinary tour of Australia. I think that is one of the best parts of traveling, trying all the wonderful and different food!
Your friend,
Mrs. Levy
Dear Mrs Levy and first graders,
ReplyDeleteWhat great questions. We hope you have fun learning about Australia!
Isabella wants to know, "What is a favorite Australian meal?"
Some Australian foods are lamingtons, meat pies and Vegemite. You can read about some Australian foods in Mrs Yollis’ copy of Possum Magic.
Alyssa is curious about, "Which ocean is Sydney located on?"
Kobi says it is the Pacific Ocean.
Sasha wonders, "What games do they play in Australia?"
Bianca says chasey, netball, AFL (Australian Rules football) and cricket.
Jordyn asks, "What do Australians like to do for fun?"
Lachlan says Star Wars. Charlotte says craft. Maddison says she likes to play with her friends.
Dylan wants to know, "What is the weather like? Is it hot there or cold?"
Some places in Australia are hot and some are cold. Where we live in Leopold, Victoria it is hot in summer and cold in winter. At the moment it is autumn and the weather is about 20 degrees Celsius.
Kyla wonders "What is their favorite ocean?"
We are not sure but one of our most popular beaches is the surf beach at Ocean Grove. It is about 10 minutes from where we live.
Ellison wants to know if Australians speak with an accent.
We think you speak with an accent but we don’t :-)
Hana asks "What type of animals are in Australia?"
Riley says possums, kangaroos, emus, koalas and echidnas.
Royce is curious about what type of gems are in Australia.
We are not sure! Miss McGeady thinks there are opals mined in Australia.
