A connection overseas

This year we have made a connection with a 1/2 class in a school in Toronto.

Here is their fabulous first email to us! So exciting!!

 

Dear Students,

Hello from Toronto, Canada! We are students from Fairmount Public School.

We are in Grade 1 and Grade 2. We are 6 and 7 years old and there are 22 students in our class. We live near an important lake, called Lake Ontario. 

Our school starts in Junior Kindergarten and goes up to Grade 8. There are around 450 students in our school. Our school is near a fire station, stores, grocey stores, restaurants,  a library, a bank, and lots of houses. We have a big school yard to play in, with trees, grass, benches,  and playground equipment. 

Right now, it is winter here. We have lots of snow to play in. We started our school year in September, and we will finish in June. We live in a big city, and there are lots of things to do here. 

We look forward to hearing about your school in Australia and the things that you like to do.

Sincerely,

The Grade 1s and 2s in Ms. Gibbon’s Class

Sadie, Sairsha, Katelyn, Leah, Austin, Connor, Ryleigh, William, Anna, Ayesha, Brianna, Riley-Marie, Sarah, Logan, Gregory, Adriano, Joey, Kody, Zachary, Jesse, Marlon, and Rachel

Some questions we have for you.

What is your school called?

What grade are you in?

What grades are at your school?

What is the weather like there today?

What are your names?

How many students do you have in the whole school?

How many students are in your class?

What time do you start school at in the morning?

When and where do you eat your lunch?

We have begun a letter in return. It's brought up a lot of discussion about places that also have snow at the moment.
