Today we got some letters from Bardwell school. Bardwell School is a school in England and where Mr. Miller's nephew, Alex, goes. We were really excited and impressed by all of the things they said and we decided to write back to them.
It was really interesting to find out about life and school in another country. We found out that a lot of the things that they liked to do, like art, ICT and soccer, were things that we liked to do too. It was nice to find out that we had so much in common!
Later on this week we will write some information reports about what life is like in New Zealand and at Parnell and we will send that too. We decided it would be quite good fun to present some of our reports and record them onto a DVD!
For spelling this week we looked at words that ended in -tion. We were impressed by how many we knew already, almost 40! And we chose 10 of these to learn for a test on Friday.
I remember when I was your age and had pen friend in France. It was so exciting receiving letters and trinkets from the other side of the world. Many years later I met my pen friend in France.. It was so cool to meet them in person, as we had shared so many memories over a long period of time.
