Lead-in
Read an Australian student’s diary entry about his school day.
Dear Diary,
The day didn't begin well. We had to present our project about an Australian animal today, but I left the project poster on my desk. When I realized I didn't have it, I was halfway to school. I ran home to pick up the poster and then hurried to school. Luckily, I got there in time for my first class, just before the teacher arrived!
Simon’s diary
While-learning
Our project presentation was about koalas. I gave the presentation together with David and Jenny. They are my best friends, so it's easy to work with them. The presentation went well, and our classmates really enjoyed it. Everyone loved the koala pictures on the poster! I was in a great mood, and I didn't even mind that the next lesson was Maths, a subject I'm not good at. The weather was really nice, so I ate my lunch outside. My mum always packs a lunch box for me. Today, I had an egg sandwich and a banana.
The rest of the day flew by. In the afternoon, I had Art. Our class painted different Australian animals on a big wall. It's going to look really cool when it's finished.
Jenny, David and I wanted to celebrate our success, so we went to the ice cream shop after school. After a rocky start, it was the best day ever!
