News from Buddy

Last term Buddy left us to go and live in Queenstown for 3 months. Earlier this term he sent us an email to tell us what he's been up to in Queenstown.

Here is the email and the photos he sent us. I've included some new photos his Mum Julie sent this week ...

Hi Room 4

I hope everyone had a great holiday.

I have started at my new school called Queenstown Primary and I am in Room 9. I am starting to learn how to Ice skate on Thursday.

We have done heaps of skiing but Jackson has done heaps more!!!

I went on the World Cup halfpipe on Sunday at the Ski field called Cardrona....it was AWESOME!!!! But after that I had a major crash with another skier who broke my goggles!!! ( see photo).

We can see heaps of Mountains from my new home and it is very cold.

We are going to go on the Shotover Jet boat real soon and next week when my Gran comes to stay, we are going up the Gondola and doing the Luge....sounds like fun.

Take care, I miss you guys

Our Feelings ...

Earlier this term we were learning about Keeping Ourselves Safe. We took photos of each other showing different feelings, such as happy, sad, scared, angry, confused, and proud. Can you tell what feelings we are showing??
