Third term is well underway

Gary, an artist at the Warlayirti Gallery has painted all of the AFL teams on car bonnets that will be on display on the MCG at some stage.  He has painted me a Cats picture....love it!

My manky couch has been replaced at last.  This one is very comfortable.


We had a bit of fun when one of the girls brought in a tube of pink lipstick.  It is hard to tell in this picture but we all had pink lipstick on.....even the boys.  Only one of the boys wanted to be in the photo, but the lipstick came off very quickly when the photo was taken.

Each week a child from every class wins an award for positive behaviour.  The little fellow on the cushion won his class award, but was asleep when it was presented!!  So we moved the photo to him!




Lots of red dirt!  There is no end to it......on my clothes, in the car, staining my feet and on my floors.
We made another trip out to the lookout site in the pound.



This weeks sunset.  So amazing.



Some new band equipment arrived, so some of the local boys were putting on a show.




The kids loved to dance on the roof.



Dancing on the roof as the sun sets.





We made a wand in class last week.  This was lots of fun....but I will never get all of the sparkles out of the carpet!!

The kids were showing off their work on their feelings

The kids did some nice paintings which make a lovely display.

I had to sneak in another sunset.  This is looking towards the football oval and basketball court.

    Hi Michelle,

    Cheers

Leaving beautiful Balgo

WET SEASON FUN In the second last week of school the Wet season decided to come calling. It bucketed down both in Balgo and the Tanami Rd. The locals love the rain as it fills the waterholes and brings out the animals. On our way out to check out the waterfall and waterhole we came across Shane and 15 odd children returning from the waterhole. It is lucky there is no glass in the windows otherwise there would be nowhere for the kids to sit!! There was a chorus of frogs down at the waterhole and this little fellow didn't mind a cuddle This is the waterhole which is fed by a waterfall when it rains.  Unfortunately the creek had stopped running when we got there so the waterfall was only a trickle. Such a lovely place to go in the desert. CHURCH IN BALGO FOR THE LAST TIME A little out of focus but you can hopefully see the gum leaves being dripped into the coolamon that I am holding.  This is the water blessing that happens at the beginning of each church service.  It is nic...

Accepted into the community

Little Hoppy is keeping me company, but not sure I went him looking after my toothbrush!! Loving the smell of my soap!!   Such an amazing experience at Mass last week. We were given a blessing by the community. It was so hot so the doors were open. Even the town dogs seek shelter in this oppressive heat.  Magda, one of the Elders blessing me. I will never forget this experience. So special.  It finally rained if only for 5 minutes. But when it comes down it really comes down.  Heading up one of the hills in the ‘pound ‘ These lovely mats are right through the school. This one is at Play Group   Play group set up before the families arrived. I spend 2 days organising Play Group. This is such an important time for the children to learn to sit and to learn some English, ready for school 🏫 When you play hard there is nothing better than sleeping it off. Sooo cute

3 WEEKS TO GO

Image
  AT SCHOOL One week in 5, the pool man goes out of community for a break.  This is when we take the kids outside to play some water games.  Here we are playing limbo with the water stream. The slip and slide is one of their favorites.  The days have been over 40 a lot, so the kids are happy to get wet before they leave for home. Just before the Football grand final, Warrick was doing some spelling words with the letters and he made 'Go Tigers" so I made Go Cats.  Most of the people in Balgo follow the Eagles or the Dockers with a small spattering of the other teams.  There is even a couple of Geelong supporters in town. I took my class out on Country to see the dreaming of the two rocks.  This is a dreaming story of 2 boys and their mother who walked around the Kimberley.  When they got tired the boys turned into the two rocks. This is a picture of the two rocks..... and lots of desert! Cleaning up Country is very important and on this day we cle...
