Something different at Mitcham than cockle bay

At Mitcham in there assemblies they have awards for student and Aussie of the month which I thought was really cool.

Thank you

I would like to thank all the teachers who came on this trip and made it all possible for us to have this amazing opportunity you all are awesome. Sorry no photo.

My host family

I stayed with the most amazing family who was Nicole (mum) Colin (dad) Aidan, Carter and Renee they were very friendly and I was so relaxed and become part of the family very quickly and made myself at home. They also had two dogs milly and Toby who I did try to bring home but didn't fit in my suit case.

They wanted me to stay longer and have invited me back in the near future as they would love to show me round Melbourne REALLY THEY LOVED ME and offered to keep me and send one of there boys back here.

Best trip ever

I had a great time in Melbourne enjoyed the plane ride and got to watch the Lego movie had a very yummy breakfast. I arrived at the airport to see a sigh held by Aidan with my name and we had to travel and hour back to there house and settled in nicely. This is me and Aidan with his sign which I got to bring home.

My gifts

I had such a great family and they gave me a gift which I love . I got a special edition 2014 Australian coin collection and a rubics cube as this what they enjoy playing with and Carter can do the whole cube in 49 seconds and I can't even do one side of a colour so I will keep trying.

Mitcham primary

We got to spend 3 days at the school which was really cool I got to spend time in two different classes as I had Aidan and carter my home stays and made some really good friends.

Fitzroy gardens

On Thursday we also went to the Fitzroy Gardens which is very cool we saw a fairy tree and a miniature village and some amazing gardens. Also Cooks Cottage.

Best time ever

What a great time I had visiting Melbourne so glad I got the chance to go saw some great sights meet some awesome people and see to how another school works. I loved the wildlife park.

Dinner and desert

We just finished dinner and we had nachos and ice cream that were very nice.  The ice cream was a cookies and cream drum stick.  After that we went to Carters basketball training and played 40-40 the whole time while Carter was training.  On the way home we had a musical drive, with the radio on and people singing.

Great day at the zoo

We just got back from an amazing day sightseeing at the Zoo as we saw alot of new animals like the Tasmanian devil witch I brought a souvenir of one it is really cool. We also saw a giant python and a sick baby wombat in the wildlife hospital witch we got to pat. I really liked seeing the dingos because they were my favourite colour orange.

I got to touch a rock wallaby I almost got kicked because it was an open path

Just like I'm part of he family
