Max attends a leadership learning technologies conference

Max got very excited on Thursday. Mrs S told him that he was going to "The Mecure" to attend a "21st Century Leadership and ICT Conference".

Max was not quite sure who he would meet and was a little shy so he decided to wait until the afternoon before he made an appearance.

When he entered the room, Max became very, very excited....he saw his friends from Good Shepherd. They remembered Max so he was very pleased!

Max also met Mrs B. She remembered Max from the Learning Technology Conference. He also made some new friends, Mrs M and Mr V.

On the second day, Max was introduced to everyone. They were told all about his blog and he told them he would like to visit them.

Max wondered if they would invite him.....

Max celebrates Christmas in July

On the first Sunday in July, Max went to a Christmas party.

The people at the party explained that in other countries around the world it is very cold at Christmas time. As July can be very cold in Australia, some people who once lived in these countries, like to get together to remind them of a cold Christmas.

Max was excited when he saw the the turkey. It was very big. (Max didn't eat any. He preferred the bananas.)

After lunch, Max and his friends went on a walk in the Blue Mountains. They walked along a bush track on the mountain ridge. Max saw the tops of many tall gum trees.

"I must be very high" thought Max.

On the way back, Max saw a old rusty car. Max's friends explained that some people did not look after the natural bushland and left things like bottles, cans, rubbish and sometimes cars there.

Max hoped that all the children he visited took all their rubbish home. "It is important to keep our world clean", Max said.
