B.L.A Memory Adventures

B.L.A Memory Adventures

Last Thursday we left B.L.A to go a trip to North Island. During the trip we had different kinds of weather, it is made the trip more exciting, we could not change it just accept it. We had sunny, rainy and windy days, i like all kinds of weather.

In the Van we were a group of passengers composed of 14 people with different cultures and nationalities. Most of them are students from Bay Language academy. We were ready and excited to travel together to have a good weekend.

Our driver was Felipe a nice teacher from B.L.A and very kind driver. He always was willing to help us with whatever was necessary. The connection with the people was easy despite the cultural differences we had good times together.

Our food was very rich, I could try delicious dishes prepared by my Korean friends. One kind of dishes that i will never forget is Korean curry. HUmm!! Delicious. All dishes were served with art and joy. We were a good team cooking and cleaning quickly.

One of the most interesting activities that we did was sand boarding. We had moments of pure adrenalin doing sandboarding. Childrens and adults shared the adventurous feeling.

We had to climb a huge sand mountain to have a few seconds of real bliss mixed with fear.

One student's experience at the trip to the Katikati Bird Garden

Yesterday I visited the bird Garden in Katikati with Yam,Patty and the teacher Juan. At the bird garden we're looking and feeding to the birds like chickens, ducks and pigeons. My favorite bird was a grey duck with Green beak, also we can see the peacock, parrots and a strange bird similar to a phoenix. The most funny parts in the trip was when we feed the birds because a lot of birds arrived with us. Isaias Barraza (Chile)

This is a writing from our lovely student Arisa before she left to go back home.

I stayed in NZ for 11 months. Basically I stayed in Nelson for 8 months, Wellington for 2 months and tauranga for 1 months. And I traveled around the North island and the South Island with my family and friends as well. I came to NZ for working holiday so most of time I'm working. i worked in the restaurants, the backpackers and the farm as well. Actually working as a waiter in foreign country was my dream and I could do it so I'm very proud of me. It was really hard because my English was not good enough, I had lots of mistakes and sometimes my boss yelled at me. So when I started to work there often I cried. But I could learnt lots of things and became so much stronger. One of the reasons why I worked hard is to earn money for going back to Bay Learning Academy. Actually I had been at this school 2 years ago. When I graduated this school I decided to come back again. And then I could come back :)! The other dream came true!! I was so happy to be a student here

A Little trip to McLaren Falls Park

by Akiko Wakamatsu We went to the McLaren Falls Park yesterday. We rode in three cars separately. I rode in Juan's car with another 3 persons. I was looking forward to going there because I went to the park before 2 years ago. the park is wonderfull. It is a large area, many plants and a beautiful lake. I saw many ducks and sheep. The park show me great scenery as 2 years ago. I am glad to visit there again. Then we played Frisbee Golf, it was the first time for me throwing the Frisbee. We went up the hill. Sometimes the Frisbee flied somewhere. But we were enjoying it. I felt younger in my mind. Thank you
