This week was a good week School was fun, and again I got to present my Canadian presentation to my classes, who were all eager to learn more about Canada. Not only did I get to talk about my country but I also got to go to Paris with my roommate, I have been to Paris before but it was a pleasure going again.. We did all the touristy things in Paris!! It was a good trip. I Love Europe :D :D

My classes for this week have been lots of fun :) On Tuesday we got to see a great coin colection, it was very interesting to see how much the Polish money has changed...i still find it funny that polish money is paper because in Australia we have plastic colourful money! This week Betty and I travelled to Paris! I was very excited as I've always wanted to go :) We had lots of nice weather and did lots of exploring. My favourite was going to the top of the Eiffel Tower and also climbing the Arc de Triomphe. They both had such a beautiful view.While in was in Paris I also got to see some family friends which was nice :)

This week was a pretty easy week, it was my second time with my new classes ( who I love).. Im just getting to know them, but they are a great group of kids. We mostly did work out of the workbook, but luckily I got the chance to make a powerpoint presentation about Canada that I presented to the kids.. I enjoyed telling them about my country. They seemed really interested and were keen to learn more.

During the week I didnt do much. Classes of course were very enjoyable but I spent the rest of my week just relaxing at home either reading or watching TV :) On the weekend I went and visited the opening of the Old Town fountain to celebratre the start of spring. However when I got there it had been called off because there was a storm on the way (sadly the storm never came). Either way it was lots of fun!
There was so many people there! I also got to watch people play with fire. Betty and I also went to the movies which we hadnt done for ages so we got a good laugh :)

The past week was a new week of classes for me, Caitlyn and I switched classes, so I now have a chance to get to know other kids of the school!! Besides switching classes I took a trip to Rome Italy!! which is super exciting! The weather was beautiful and the ice cream was better! I ate so much pizza and pasta! While in Rome I did all the exciting tourist things, such as walk around the Colosseum and went up to the top of the Vatican Church!! The view from the top was breathtaking! I very much enjoyed my trip! Next trip is Paris France.

This week was the first week teaching my new classes! They have all seemed to be lots of fun! It's almost like we are back at the beginning of our placement. When really we are more than halfway through. On the weekend we headed off to Rome for Betty's 19th Birthday! We had a great time! The sun was shinning and there was lots to do! For me I was amazed at how old some of the sites were. For example the Colosseum was built in 72 AD. In Australia our buildings only date back a couple of hundred years at the most and although we have aboriginal historial evidence most of it is on sacred land where we can not go to see it.
