Learning about the Past ... Letter Writing!

This term our topic is 'The Past'

We are going to be comparing what children's lives were like in the past compared to our lives now. To start finding out about what the past was like we are writing letters to our Grandparents. We have thought of lots of interesting questions to ask them like;

When you were a child...
* What toys did you play with?
* How did you get to school?
* What was your favourite food?
* How did you travel around?

This week we have been busy writing our letters getting them ready to post. We will be sending them in the post box down the road. Some letters are going to nearby places like Richmond and Wakefield. Some letters will be posted to the North Island to places like Orewa and Fielding. But the letter that is going to go the furthest is Ian's letter to his Oma and Opa who live in The Netherlands. Wow.... that is a really long way and we wonder how long it is going to take to get there?
We are very excited to see if we get letters in return...... we will keep you 'POSTED!'
