Hi everyone,

Its taken me a bit of time to get my first post to you, I have been getting alot of homework and had to study really hard for a few tests! Although I live in Australia and am in grade 8 here I am studying all my lessons in French!! except English of course!! This is through a French immersion program my high school runs and I will be doing this until I am in grade 11! By then I will be fluent in French!! I hope so anyway! So what have I been up to apart from studying? My mum and I went to a well being expo and had a stand there for the whole weekend, we had alot of fun together and met heaps of really nice people and I got to talk to lots of children and tell them all about we are amazing and our awsome website, have you checked out the portrait gallery and wish for the world pages, they are really starting to fill up, if you have'nt already posted your wishes and upload your portraits, get creative and come up with a really fantastic bright and colourful picture! I check everyday to see new faces and read your amazing sentences and your wishes are all so brilliant, imagine all the really great messages we are sending out into the world!! Our global family is really growing and I am so excited about everyone contributing and getting involved!

This weekend our family are going to hold another earth hour! we are going to do this every month, why don't you try to have one too, it all helps to reduce our carbon footprint!! Dad, Nat and I found some really groovy candles in a little shop near us when we were looking for mothers day presents!! and we are going to play games and tell scary stories by candle light!!

Don't forget to let me know whats going on where you are and if you have any brilliant ideas for saving energy, mum says I have a bee in my bonett!! about it!! she says its a great thing to be beeing about though!!!
