On Their Way

Our introductory penpal letters and self-portraits are now in the post and speeding their way to our new friends in Italy and Albania. It will be very interesting finding out what their communities and daily routines are like compared to ours. We're starting Social Studies with some mapping skills this year and will locate our pen pals' schools to get a sense of where they are located.
