Heading to Halong Bay

Today we leave our hotel and the beautiful town of Hoi An. We are going to get on a big boat for two nights, which means we cannot do our blog for a few days. Happy holidays to all our friends at school, Vismaya, Amber, Awina, Carter and Mrs Allen; Nico, Gage, Alexis and Miss Duran.

Making lanterns

Today we visited a lantern factory. We made a lantern, which was really fun. To make a lantern we had to put glue on the sticks, then stretch and stick the material down. We got to choose our favourite colour. Alex chose red and Elizabeth chose pink and green. We also got another one for free.

Elizabeth at the potter's wheel

Today Elizabeth got to make her own pottery piece. She said the clay felt very squishy and wet. There was a lady who was spinning the wheel with her foot and a lady who helped Elizabeth make her little cup.

Today Elizabeth and Alex arrived in Hoi An, a little town in Vietnam. They took two aeroplanes and slept on a train  to get here. For dinner tonight they are having spring rolls and rice pancakes. They are also learning how to use chopsticks to eat their food.
