1st November 2017

Last night was really fun because we went trick or treating for the first time and we got lots of nice lollies. Also we got to go out for dinner with some other Serpell and Meadowbank kids👍🏻. Today we have just had a normal school day but Lucia, Emily and I went to do some 3D printing. We created cats on the 3D printing website. Unfortunately we didn't get to print them because we didn't have time to  😀😃

Hi Everyone

Today is my second day in Melbourne and it's been a great experience so far. First I went to my buddy's classroom and it was quite different because we had to take our shoes off and we had fruit half an hour before morning tea. 

After morning tea we had a really fun scavenger hunt where we had to describe where all the pictures were and it was really hard because they were all close ups. During the hunt I made I made lots of new friends. 

Gravity!!❤😀😁
This afternoon Me, Liana, Lucia and some more friends went to Gravity(a trampoline park) It was really fun. We kept on double bouncing one another. LOL😂
