Last Friday, our group had an election. It was a little bit different because it was to show us how we could vote properly and how the preferential voting system works in Australia.
We had 4 candidates
Michael spoke for 'The Pizza Hut'
Mark spoke for 'McDonalds'
Nawal spoke for 'Subway'
Miguel other was representing KFC.
We had to listen to their speeches and fill out a ballot paper.
After the votes were counted, we watched while they were sorted by preference. I never really understood how it worked before now.
When the results were complete, we found out that Nawal had won.

Courtyard Writing
The Courtyard
When I walked in the courtyard I felt so peaceful. There was a nice view and the weather was nice and sunny.
I saw a lot of people walking up and down. Some were sitting under the trees, some talked with their friends. There were some chairs and a few big umbrellas for people to sit down and relax. So my friends and I sat down and have a chat. While we sat down and were talking, some pigeons came around us and made noise. We feel like someone was singing a song for us. It made me so sleepy.
When I looked around I saw a small garden with many kinds of flowers with different colours. In the garden there also was a small bridge make the garden look like a small village. At the side way was a walkway which had trees with no leaves over lapping the shelter which could have been part of design.
When we sat down for a while, we smelled something that made me very hungry. We tried to look around where the smell was coming from. When we looked down there was also a canteen.
Even on the way down to the canteen there was also green grass with some flowers. I really like this courtyard. It's such a wonderful courtyard.

Today Kerry let us look at our courtyard. I came to this TAFE about three years ago but I have never noted our courtyard. Today when I was looking around it, I had a different feeling.
This day is a sunny day, just a little bit windy. In the courtyard, it was very quiet because this time is class time. But you could hear big noises from the crows. Suddenly I heard a nice voice from a tree. Which birds were making this sound? I tried to find it. I went toward the tree and looked carefully, the two small birds on the tree looked kike happiness. They looked like people homes chatting to each other. I thought that they are best friends. One young boy passed under the tree and the birds flew away.
I walked along the courtyard’s terrace. On the life side there are some plants. I looked at one kind of plant. It was very beautiful. It wasn’t very tall and it had small red colour berries with green leaves. I kept going. In front of me appeared a small wooden bridge. I walked on to the little bridge and over it. I seemed to be walking in the forest. Both sides of the small bridge there are two pine trees. Though now it is winter, they still are dark green’ tall and straight.
Suddenly I heard somebody laughing and I looked in the direction the laugh was coming from and saw a few students. They sat around a table under the shade. They were chatting and laughing. They were a lot of fun. I looked around the courtyard and saw another two students. They were very quiet, just reading books.
Our TAFE courtyard wasn’t big but we felt very comfortable. We can relax there and also we can meet friends there too. I like our courtyard especially when it’s under the winter sun.

TAFE courtyard
In the winter, I walk around the TAFE courtyard. I see some people sitting the chairs and chatting. A lady is reading her some folders. A woman is relaxed on a chair.
There are many trees which have no leave. Ten benches are fixed on the courtyard and three bins are used for waste. There are some little yellow flowers in the garden.
The courtyard is very neat, quiet, wide and clean. People are very comfortable under the warm sunshine. We enjoy this environment.

DESCRIPTION OF THE COURTYARD
It’s a bright but cold day in the courtyard; there are 5 tables with shade umbrellas and some chairs. The courtyard is surrounded by three buildings and in front is the way to the Canteen. We can hear some birds, especially one raven (very scary). A great part of the trees is naked because of winter but some have leaves still. There are ten benches, two made of metal. Some doves are trying to eat crumbs from the ground.
It’s a lovely and quiet place to eat something, have a cup of tea or just to sit and talk with a friend. Of course, this is only if you can tolerate this temperature (it’s too cold for me)!
On the top of the library building is a parabolic antenna and a normal antenna as well.
On the left side of the courtyard you can see some purple lavender flower. For me this was a discovery because that plant doesn’t exist in my country, it has a very strong aroma but it is very pleasant.
Miguel
There are several courtyards in Campbelltown College. One that is bigger than the others is between the library, K and M blocks and if you walk down the terraced stairs you can reach the canteen. The courtyard has different kinds of trees and flowers and has beautiful scenery.
The trees are contrasting in the season of winter. Some are deciduous trees as like a sleepy snake but some are evergreen trees the same as an energetic child. In the middle, it has five shade umbrellas; below the umbrellas there are table and chairs. People sit on the chairs chatting, laughing and relaxing. Some people sit on the benches enjoying the sunshine to keep them warm. At the other side near M block, there is a feature garden which is designed in the Japanese style.
Although the courtyard has not special flowers and trees, the place gives people a chance to simply relax in the tranquil surrounding

This Morning in the Courtyard at TAFE
The courtyard is a big area and has buildings all around. The library is attached to one building and the canteen is nearby.
The courtyard is a good place for all students and teachers in TAFE to come together at lunch time and the morning tea.
Especially when it is a sunny day, a lot of people come together in the courtyard because the courtyard has umbrellas and plenty of chairs so we can sit there and have lunch.
I am sitting on a chair. I feel relaxed and I can see the blue sky. Some different trees have no leaves because of the cold season and also some of them are different varieties of plants and flower, some have red berries and a yellow flower.
I can hear people talking and laughing and some birds are walking around the courtyard and they are looking for food.
At the moment I am sitting on a chair and I can feel the wind blowing with fresh air. I feel relaxed and comfortable.

The Courtyard
In the courtyard you can see hear feel and smell. You can feel the wind on your face. You can smell different flowers like lavender. At the courtyard you can hear people talking and laughing together.
When I walk down to the garden there is a bridge in between the flowers which is made of different shades of wood. While looking at the bridge I noticed many different flowers in many different colours which are red, yellow, purple and there were large green bushes as well.
On the far left of those flowers there is a pergola made of metal poles and at the top of the pergola that is covered with trees overlapping the top. Also at the bottom there are vines which are wrapped around the bottom of the pole.
While at the courtyard there are many things you can do, you can have morning tea and lunch, talk with your friends or just sit nicely in the sun and relax.
Lisa
Today is sunny and the wind is blowing softly. We’re all outside in the courtyard. I look up at the sky. It’s like a square shape because all the sides of the buildings together make a picture frame. We can see through to the blue sky.
In the courtyard there are umbrellas with chairs and benches, surrounded by trees and flower gardens. Also we can go straight down the terraced steps to go to the canteen and other ways too.
The students are sitting on chairs under the umbrellas and talking with friends. They seem to me very happy. Some students are passing by the garden.
Around the yard there are beautiful gardens but some trees have no leaves because it’s still winter yet, some plants have flowers blooming.
I most like one tree which has lavender flowers around. I like the purple colour. The wind is blowing and shaking the lavender flowers. It’s very sweet and many bees have collected the pollen from the flowers. It makes me feel peaceful and calm.
In this courtyard we can enjoy our break time, lunch and whenever we feel tired we can come and sit on the chairs or benches.

The Outdoors
In the mid- morning air are very cold winds,
The trees are very average also the other plants,
The people are talking and walking, carrying out their business
In the classroom.
People are littering on the ground,
They are a bit thoughtless dropping
Their rubbish. People are smoking.

There are terraced steps around the courtyard. The bald trees catch my eyes firstly. There are different kinds of bushes around the trees. Some of the bushes have dark red leaves, some of the bushes have red berries.
I find some jonquils with yellow flowers which are my favourite. There is a small curved shape bridge in the middle of the courtyard. It is made of wood, with black paint on the top and red paint on the four side edges. I walk over the bridge, and then sit down to relax for a while. There are two green bushes at the end of the bridge. They look like two guards standing up on either side. When I sit down discover they have little light blue berries. I have not notice them before. I pick them up and crush them, smelling them. It is a fresh pine wood smell. I also hear the crows singing loudly. Opposite the bridge, there is a lot of lavender around the bald trees. The soft wind brings the lavender smell to me. It is so relaxing for me. I also see bees are working hard on the lavender and talking to each other.
What a comfortable and peaceful courtyard! I am happy to study in this environment.

Why the Earth is a Great Place to Live
Earth is one planet of our Solar System. It is a wonderful place in space. The sun light, air and water allow all life on the lands and the oceans.
There are many oceans, mountains and plains on the Earth. All plants and animals have their own special place to live; fish swim in the seas and rivers, animals live on the lands and mountains, insects hide under the ground.
There are rivers and seas, and when it rains, all the water runs down from the mountains along the rivers and through to the seas or oceans. It is a great construction of the Earth. This stops the flooding of the land and allows all trees and animals to grow up.
The seasons give life order. The trees rest in the cold winter. Then they open their flowers in the wet spring. The fruit comes in hot summer or cool autumn, winter is rest again.
The Earth is a great place to live. It has everything needed for nurture; temperatures, minerals, elements and the cycle of the food chain etc.

The Melbourne Cup
On Tuesday November 3, all the students from the centre joined together to celebrate the Melbourne Cup. Everyone combined to take part in four special activities.
First of all, they watched a video about the history and the culture of the Cup. It told them about the horses, the fashion and gambling on the day. It also told about a very famous horse called Phar Lap.
Next, they separated into groups. One group took part in a sweep, another group had a horse race and a third group did a quiz about the Cup.
There was one other group that was making hats called fascinators. People had to cut some net and sewed it onto a hair comb. Then they glued on a flower. Later, some people were wearing their hats.
This was an interesting day because I learned lots of things on this special day.

MEVI -Re enrolling in your course for 2010
Dear all,
Soon you will be receiving a letter in the mail about re enrolling for 2010. If you are re enrolling in the same level you will do this through a process called MEVI. This is what your letter in the mail will be about and you will do this in 2009.
If you are going into a different level or course in 2010 you will enrol next year. Your teacher will be discussing with you what level and course you will be returning to next year. Some of you will finish your studies with us at the end of this year and we hope you go on to do other things.
If you are finishing level 3 this year we may be able to offer you another course -course number 2244 Statement of Attainment in Language, Literacy and Numeracy if you have clear goals about the reading and writing you still need to work on.
We have been told by our faculty director that the student contribution will increase in 2010 from $25 a semester to $30 a semester. You can pay this when you accept your MEVI offer or next year when you enrol.
If you have any concerns at all please talk to your teacher or talk to the head teachers -Jane or I.
Enjoy your studies for the next 6 weeks.

Excursion
Standing outside St James station we saw 3 towers, Sydney tower, an hexagonal building and church spires.
In Hyde Park we saw two sculptures, one of Queen Victoria and opposite was King George IV standing on a cube which had seven circular steps.
At Sydney Eye Hospital there was a large, beautiful sculpture. The base was an octagonal prism with a tall cylinder in the middle holding a large circular dish and further up a small circular dish. It would be a beautiful fountain.
Inside Customs House there was an amazing model of the city under the floor.

The Shapes Excursion
Last Thursday, we went on an excursion to the city. We met together at Granville station at 9:30am. There were 12 people in my group and the teachers.
First we walked around Macquarie Street and looked at some sculptures. Our teacher Kerry showed and explained about the different shapes. They were very nice structures.
After that, we went to the Art Gallery of NSW, then we walked around the Botanic Gardens. We saw a lot of bats in the trees. They looked like fruit.
Before we came back to the train station, we passed the Opera House.
Finally, we said goodbye at Granville station.
It was an interesting excursion. I won't forget it!

Mr Bean In The Park
One day Mr Bean went to the park.
He took his camera because he wanted to take some photos. First he took a picture of himself but it was no good. He asked a man to take a photo of him. The man took one photo.
Then he asked Mr Bean to move back and to turn around and face the sculptures. While Mr Bean wasn’t looking , the man ran away with the camera.
Then Mr Bean searched the park and found the man. He took a rubbish bin and put it over him so the man couldn't move.He jabbed him with his pen until he yelled. He found the police but the man ran away.
Later that day Mr Bean went to the police station for
a line up. He walked along the line looking closely at the faces but he did not recognise the robber.
In the end, he had a good idea. He asked the police man to put rubbish bins on all the people in the line. This time when he walked along he jabbed each one and listened. When he reached number five he knew he had found him.

And now for the Lilli Pilli jam recipe.....
Lilly Pilly Jam
* Deseed berries and place in saucepan, just covered with water. Bring to the boil, then reduce to a simmer and cook for around 30 minutes.
* If desired, strain the mixture through a sieve, or cloth.
* Measure the amount of liquid you have and return it to the pan. Add the same volume of sugar and the juice of 1 lemon per litre of liquid.
* Return to the boil, then reduce to a high simmer for around 30 minutes, before testing on a saucer to see if it has set (place a teaspoon full on a saucer and place in the freezer for a minute, if it has formed a skin when you run your finger through it, it is set).
* Bottle into hot sterilised jars.

Science in ABE
What is a Lilli Pilli?
How fast is your heart beating?
How do colours mix?
What is inside a bubble?
On Monday and Tuesday this week, stage 2 and the Migrant Youth Group were busy doing science experiments.
Anne took students around the college looking closely at different types of plants.
Jenny mixed milk and colours in an experiment with surface tension.
Madeleine and Sally helped students to find their own pulse and heart rate.
And Kerry showed people how to make better bubbles.
After the experiments, we all talked about what we had discovered. What did you learn?
