Bay Learning Academy

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

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)

Our latest TESOL course was a great success. All three ladies passed with 'Strong Passes'. All three came with very different experiences and strengths. Sandra is from Catalonia, it was great to have the input from a non-native speaker. Heather is going to use her new ESOL skills in the classroom and Katie will be off travelling the world very soon.
