The first day of our language and cultural learning week was an exciting start. The teacher met her enthusiastic group of students and the session commenced with a fun icebreaker where everyone introduced themselves while creating playful movements. Initially, some students were hesitant, but soon enough, laughter filled the room as they loosened up. They explored greetings in various languages, expressing their likes through drawings and sharing life experiences. In the afternoon, cool games further fostered the bond among the students, and the day ended on a positive note with plenty of smiles.

They watched educational videos on animals and learned about comparatives and superlatives. Engaging in activities, they created posters showcasing Australia’s diverse animal life. To wrap up the class, they participated in a quiz about the country and practiced the topic. In the afternoon, they had an extraordinary encounter with various Australian reptiles, presented by Wild Rangers.
