La fin du séjour France!

Bonjour! 

Enfin, après trois semaines en France, notre petite famille française a retourné! Pour trois semaines nous avons mangé délicieux cuisine française (les baguettes, les crêpes, les tartes, les fromages, et bien sûr, beaucoup d’escargot!) et nous avons visité plusieurs sites fameuses (la tour Eiffel, le Champs Elysée, des monuments australienne de la premier guerre mondial, la maison de Claude Monet et beaucoup d’autres). Une expérience très inoubliable était le séjour avec les familles de notre correspondantes française et presque les deux semaines que nous sommes allées à une école française avec leur. Merci beaucoup Mademoiselle Dawson et Madame Buchanan pour votre assistance pendant les dernier trois semaines!  

Finally, after three weeks in France, our little french family returned! For three weeks we ate delicious french food (baguettes, crepes, tartes, cheeses and of course lots of snails!) and we visited many famous sights (the eiffel tour, the Champs Elysee, australian monuments of WW1, the house of Claude Monet and many others). An unforgettable experience was the stay with the families of our french correspondents and nearly the two weeks we went to school with them. Thank you so much to Mademoiselle Dawson and Madame Buchanan for your help during the last three weeks!

salut, je m'appelle shayna et j'habite en australie.

Au'jourd hui, c'est mercredi et l'ecole fini à 12 heure; donc je suis allée aux patinoire avec Tilly, Hannah, Gabby, Grace, Sophie, Lauren & our french correspondants :) C'etait trés bien, mais trés froid.
We all fell over at least once ;) and took lots of photos! We also did a conga line on the ice :) 

There were many other kids at the rink. There were some little kids that were really good at skating and were doing heaps of tricks. Everyone here can skate really well!

Some of our girls hadn't been ice skating before, but we all got on the ice and had so much fun!

At the end of the day, our feet were really sore and cold.

Overall, it was a good day :)

Castles:)

sur le weekend, '{je suis aller deux le chateaus}. c'etait magnifique!! ( i can't remember the names) the second castle we went to was sur la cher riviere. each castle had its own speciality! they were both very beautiful:) for each meal, lucie's family want me to try all or most of the specialities of France. for example, at christmas they have raw salmon and toast with butter, and every january they have a cake which is more like a pie and the youngest family member hides under the table and says aloud who gets each piece which is cut. there is also a bean in the cake and whoever gets it is the king/queen for the meal and he or she has to pick a king/queen:) its a really cool tradition, although we didnt do it because there wasnt a bean in the cake.
So thats all for now, see you all tomorrow

Sunday in Bourges/Dimanche dans Bourges

Sunday was cold and raining for most of the day. 

We all spent the day with our host families  mostly seeing Bourges. 

At the end of the day, a few of us got together to watch 'LOL' a French movie.

Many of us do not have school until 1pm tomorrow so we'll get a good sleep in.

Dimanche c'était froid et il pleuvait. nous avons tous passé la journée avec nos familles d'accueil et visité Bourges. a la fin de la journée, nous nous sommes retrouvés pour regarder e film français 'LOL'. Beaucoup d'entre nous n'ont pas école demain avant 13 heures alors no allons bien dormir.

Bonjour amigos,
C'est Grace. Aujourd'hui est vendredi. Il fait froid.
^^ they are my 3 sentences ^^
Well, today was relatively long and I think most of you will agree with me on that. But, thankfully, it hasn't rained... yet. From what I gathered pretty much everyone got to sleep in today... which was A.M.A.Z.I.N.G... and I'm sure that everyone is exicted about going places on the weekend... I'd just like to say good luck to eveyone and I will see you on Monday!!!
