A letter has arrived!

Here is the letter (email) from our new friends in Canada:

Hello! 

We are writing to you from Winnipeg, Canada.  We are a class of grade 1 and 2 students at  Rockwood School.  The students in our class are 6, 7 and 8 years old.

 We are learning about countries around the world this year and we would like to email your class to tell you about life in Canada.  We would also like to learn about life in Spain.

 Right now it is winter in Winnipeg.  We have cold winters with lots of snow.  Today it is a very nice winter day.  The temperature is going to be 2 degrees Celsius.  Usually the regular temperatures in the winter can be as cold as minus 30 degrees below 0 Celsius!  That is very cold!  We have to wear warm jackets, snowpants, hats, mittens, scarves and warm boots.  We even have to plug in our car engines when they are parked to keep them warm!  We will send you some photos of kids playing in the snow soon!

What is the weather like right now in your city?

We have attached two photographs showing what our school looks like now in the winter and what it looked like in the fall when we started school in September.  In the fall, the leaves turn beautiful colours and start to fall off the trees.  In the winter, the tree branches are bare without leaves.


 Hope to hear from you soon.
