Day 159: 8/5/13 My last day in Melbourne! It was quite uneventful really as it involved a lot of packing!! Firstly though I had to print my flight itinerary and book a shuttle bus for the morning- I'll be leaving at 6am!! I had to go through all my stuff in the morning and see if it would fit and then decide what I was posting to Ireland and what was to be dumped. I hate dumping things!! There's a charity bin here so most things went in that. At least it wasn...

Day 158: 7/6/13 Last day of work until September!! Wahoo!!!! This morning we had assembly. They had the usual pupils of the week and stuff, but they also had a piano recital. Around 6 kids played the piano. I've little girl, I'd say about 7, played the piano with her grandfather.

Day 157: 6/6/13 I was back with the 3/4 class again this morning. They had writing first and they had to write about what being an Australian means to them.

They had no specialist so I was with them all day- they weren't too bad. In the morning we worked on the reading response they started yesterday. We were to do some word activities afterwards but the vice principal came in to speak to them about incidents that had been happening in the yard in the last while...

Day 155: 4/6/13 I could have a little bit of a sleep in this morning- I didn't get up until almost seven! I have to go to Flinders Street and then change train there. I was just on time for the train I normally get but it wasn't there! I thought I missed it but then I realised they had just moved it to a different platform so I just made it!! There are three different train lines going through the station I need to go to so there are trains every few minutes, bu...
