Our new Epals

What a busy start to the week! We have our epals and have really enjoyed reading about them and finding out more about Michigan. The first emails are on their way with more to go tomorrow.
The children are almost ready to post their responses to the video they watched the other day. Talk to them about their thoughts and questions. They are such a mature group with important things to say about learning and thinking.
We have also had a request to email a school in England. This has come about through our blog and an ex-Myross Bush student now working in England.
It's very exciting to be able to provide real-world contexts and purposes for the children's writing.
The children can access their epals from home also.
