Hi Beth! Your postcard arrived at school today. I of course did my teacher bit and talked about the bird and the flower on the front for ten minutes before we actually read it. Anyway, everyone was really jealous of you after they'd heard what you've been getting up to. I saved the best bit till last and we all roared with laughter when we heard Aidan's long lost reading record is actually in New Zealand. He said, "No wonder I couldn't find it!" Miss Morris thought it was hilarious.

how you lot getting on down in the deep deep cold snowy south island bet your missing those electric blankets.

have those kids seen any eskimos yet. was great having you here but now it is so quiet and peaceful and serene, lovely

enjoy the rest of your holiday

check your email!
