WE GOT MAIL!!!!

We have been writing emails back and forth to our Canadian friends in Grade Six at Ecole Millageville North (Ecole means school in French!) They live in a city called Saint John in a province called New Brunswick! Miss Dobbin showed us on the map where it was. They have 100,000 people in that city. We have about 30,000 in Ashburton.

 

Today we got our letters and we were so excited!! We are finding out a LOT about Canada and we are learning about our own country too! Did you know we have 4.4 MILLION sheep in NZ and there only only 10,000 in Canada (or less!). They celebrate Christmas in the WINTER which is so weird we decided. They just had a day off school to celebrate Remembrance Day and it is kind of like our Anzac day. To remember all of the men and women who fought and served in war.

 

Our friends are from a Grade 6 class and they speak French all the time at school. They think some of our names are really different but we think theirs are weird too. NExt week we are going to send videos back and forth so we can talk to them face to face!!!(sort of)
