Pupils in 7S were excited to receive letters from their French penpals just before the holidays. They were a most welcome early Christmas present.

“I was really happy to get my letter from Lorine as I wanted to find out all about her.  She likes dancing and playing video games so we have that in common.”  Emily Evans

“My penpal Lorie has so many pets – 3 dogs, a hamster, 11 hens and a rabbit. Wow!”  Grace Young

“I liked how Clara decorated my letter – it was really colourful and had lots of stickers on.  It looks great.”  Will Ayliffe

“I discovered that the kids in France like pretty much the same stuff as we do over here.  Axel enjoys playing on the Xbox, which I do too.”  Nathan Arkle

“Some of our penpals put little gifts in with the letters.  I got a really nice pen from Cédric.  Merci beaucoup!”  Chloe Halliday

“A lot of our penpals seem to have lots of pets and very big families.  Guillaume, which is the French name William, wrote that he has 2 brothers and 7 sisters!” Antonia Willoughby

“I was very happy to receive my letter as I have had a penpal before.  Capucine seems very kind as she sent me a rubber, a loomband animal, a pen and a lipbalm.  J “  Chloe Holmes

We shall be sending some ‘Bonne Année / Happy New Year’ cards in the next week or so, and look forward to maintaining the link with École Ernest Millet’.
