Sunrise (tv show) In Adelaide


Had a very nice morning at Elder Park in the city centre watching Sunrise the tv show being filmed. I saw Guy Sebastian sing three songs but I only saw Hugh Sheridan sing one. I love Guy and his voice is incredible and I was surprised with Hugh Sheridan because I hadn’t heard him sing and he has a really good voice and did very well live too.

Guy talked to the crowd before and after his songs and said he was loving being back in Adelaide and joked that is was ‘only for a minute’.

The regular Sunrise cast seemed as lovely and natural in real life as they are on air, chatting to the crowd and making time for photos with young and old alike.

I overheard Dorinda Hafner say to her daughter Nuala, I don’t want you to go! I’m blessed that my children still live in South Australia. It must be so much harder for parents whose children live in another state or a different country!! And celebrity parents and children wouldn’t get to see each other much at all. If I remember correctly Nuala hasn’t been back from London all that long either.

I’ll upload my video clips of Guy and Hugh too!

I used this to make word searches for one of my students today. It is very good, it printed in large clear type with a good spread of words over the whole grid.

This is from the website of Marilyn Scott-Waters.

Welcome to my odd, little world of paper toys, holiday cards, valentines, sun boxes, baskets and bags, origami and ephemera… all for you to make. My goal is to help grownups and kids spend time together making things. It is my wish to amuse and delight. Enjoy, Marilyn.

This site is “chock a block” full of paper toys to make. Many of them are in colour for you to print out and make but there are also some which are black and white for you to print and colour in. All the files are .pdf format.

I’m going to make a paper airplane with one of my students today 🙂 These would make great Christmas presents!!! You could get the kids to make them for parents, aunties, uncles and grandparents as well as printing out a heap and putting them in a folder for a child’s present! I think it would keep them occupied for ages.

Family Worship Resources

Family Worship Resources is a UK based, non-profit organisation providing songs and other resources to help all ages in the church worship together.

Christmas Resources
Check out our Christmas page. As well as details of our most popular song ever – “Peace Child”, also available are free drama scripts, and links to other Christmas resources.

I really enjoy their music, I’ve used a number of their songs in my own video and audio projects as well as playing and singing them in worship services. You can download their songs in mp3, backing track and the sheet music with guitar chords so it makes them very easy to learn and use 🙂 They’re also good for families to use at home, small study groups, home fellowships, Sunday School or Kid’s Church groups. If you don’t have any musicians you can sing along with the singers on the recording or use the backing track to sing along to.

I love groups who provide grass roots, down to earth resources which are usable and accessable by everyone.
