During their English sessions with our EAL teacher, Ms Miller, our Chinese visitors enjoyed playing Chinese whispers and Celebrity Heads. They later created some entertaining short stories that included some of our well-known local natives. Here a few samples of their creative and imaginative contributions.

ANDY:

Long, long ago, there was a kangaroo family. There was a father kangaroo, a mother kangaroo and a baby kangaroo jumping in the grass. But then, the father kangaroo picked up a snake. “I want to eat the baby”, it said. “No”, said the father kangaroo. The snake was very angry. The baby was crying. It shouted, “help!”. Suddenly, the king of the animal world was there. The Koala. “Stop snake!”, he shouted. The snake was afraid and ran away. “Thank you, King Koala”, said father kangaroo.
