BULA VINAKA!

We are learning about 'Fiji' this term. Deb's Aunty Wendy went to Fiji in the school holidays to help provide medical care to people in a village in Fiji. She asked us if we would like to write letters to the school children, so we did! We popped in some surprises for them like stickers and balloons.
GUESS WHAT????  We have just received some letters back from them.
Come into our classroom and read the letters they sent! They are awesome!
Wendy is coming to our class next week to show us photos of her trip to Fiji!
We want to learn lots of things about Fiji!

Are there Crocodiles in Fiji?  Do they have poisonous snakes? What are their classrooms like? What foods do they eat? the list goes on! We will have fun this term!
Check out our photos of us reading our letters :)

This is a traditional, Flax woven mat that the people in Fiji gave to Wendy as a thank you gift. She has lent it to us for a while. It's beautiful! and its worth about $650 so we have to be super careful with it. Fijian people are so clever! They are so fast at weaving, one of these mats can be completed in one day! phew!

Here we are with the letters we received from children in Fiji!

We can't wait to write back to them! we are going to put together some special boxes to send to them.
We will also send them some photographs of us with our letters. We look forward to learning more about Fiji!
