Postcards from Argentina

 

Rodney the School Tour Guide
Hola mis amigas (Hi my friends)
Que tal? (How’s things?)
Lindo dia!! (Beautiful day)

This is the big Rod again!!!
What about my Espanol?
Do you think I sound like a native kangaroo of Argentina?
As for Mr Evans (the Grumpy One), he is the pits!!
He is like Tarzan when he speaks Espanol!!

Today I want to take you on a tour of St Ethnea College with three Linda chicas!!
Maria, Josefina and Josefina.
Keep this a secret ……… I am sure they think I am soooooo handsome and the best music teacher in the world!!!

‘Rodney the Great’ they are saying in Espanol.
This is what I hear them say all the time, ‘Rodney muy loco!!!’
security

Well……… we start the tour with the Cute One, Josh Evans, entering the security entrance. Can you see the guard box?

Maria is at the front entrance waiting to push the security buzzer to let us in the front door.

Then I do a little bit of sign surfing.

Then I walk down the hallway and meet up with the three Linda chicas!!!
(beautiful girls)

We stop by the Flagpole and assembly area, Primary classrooms, Library, Kindergarten, Lunch area (which serves up hot meals to those interested) and Gymnasium.
gymnasiumWe tried to imagine a basketball game in the Gymnasium. That’s me in the middle!!

Behind the Gymnasium is a cold little room with only a window in the roof.
This was going to be the music room but the Grumpy One insisted on a room with-a-view.

I gave the three girls a lesson on the 'el vaso de plastico!!!' (Plastic cup)
Gee my Spanish is great!!

The girls stared to get bored and angry with me so I quickly escape out through the round window.

All the girls in Polimodal 3 (Year 12) saw the Rodney when I was touring and they all waved from their upstairs classroom …………….. I must be the most famous Kangaroo Journalist in the world.
(Thank you to 2CL for helping me to be soooooooo wonderful!!!)

They were very angry with me after the boring music lesson and took me to the school’s handymen.
They were really crazy guys!!.
The girls rescued me from the vice!!

kiss for RodneyWe made friends after the scare of that vice and they couldn’t stop kissing the handsome Rodney.
Koala tried to get in on the act……… but the girls only had eyes for me!!

Thanks Maria, Josefina and Josefina (sounds like an echo).

Chau por ahora mis amigas!

PS Look at at the photo gallery to see how grumpy the Grumpy One is when teaching!!!
Silencio!! Siempre silencio!!! He is sooooooo grumpy!!

PPS See Joshua’s amigo Marcus in the photo gallery. Theses are the stairs where Josh went for a tumble. (Santiago, the other boy who caused the mischief, wouldn’t appear on camera!!!)

PPPS Look in the photo gallery to see the Comedor Angel barrios kids all dressed up for a visit to St Ethnea. They came to see a theatre show put on by the St Ethnea mothers.
The Grumpy One loves these kids and handed them all lollies!!!
