Postcards from Argentina

 

Back to Year 2 for Mr Evans

Hi Amigas!

This is Rodney Roo reporting from Year 2B at St Ethnea.

Mr Evans’ Spanish is so bad he has been sent back to Junior Primary!!!

He loved playing hide-n-seek among the Australian Eucalyptus trees. That’s right - Eucalyptus trees in Argentina!
The girls were playing house under the trees, sweeping the floor with branches.
One girl was playing with a beach ball and one naughty little pixie shot Mr. Evans with a play-gun made from a tree branch.
Mr. Evans even fell to the ground!grave
He is so embarrassing!!!

During break time, Josh was wandering among the Australian Eucalyptus trees in the school grounds when he found a gravesite.
The Argentine Sisters of Mercy who travelled to Australia in 1880 are buried in the school grounds. Wow!!!
So St Aloysius College was established by nuns from Argentina! Maybe they were the ones who took the gum trees back to St Ethnea!!!

One boy drove Mr. Evans crazy ringing the lunch bell!
Ring, ring, ring, ring, ring, ring, ring, ring....’ENOUGH!!!’ yelled Mr. Evans.

I think they liked him!!! Or maybe those smiles are just because he was finally learning some Spanish!!!

He couldn't say their names so they all wrote it down on a piece of paper for him.
I am going to tell you a secret...........Mr. Evans kept playing with the big beach ball all day. No wonder his Spanish is terrible!!! He would rather play than learn.

But...............Josh and Mr Evans had the kids spellbound when they showed them the Plastic Cup Dance.
Soon 200 kids will be playing the Cup Dance at a big concert.

When it was time to leave, all the kids and teachers waved to the Grumpy One. These are all the kids from Year 1 and Year 2.

That's it for today skippers!!!!
