Last month Primary 7 pupils wrote their first pen pal letters to an English speaking school in Spain. This was made possible by a former pupil of Gargieston who is now a teacher in the school, contacting us and coming in to visit when home in Kilmarnock.

Well, the first letters back arrived in the post today and there was much excitement in our class!

We learned about all sorts from their favourite films and foods to Spanish customs and cuisine. Our children were not impressed at the thought of octopus and potatoes!

Now, we have made Christmas cards to send back and will pop in another letter before the Christmas holidays.

Not forgetting we had a terrific morning at the pantomime – oh yes we did!!

Pantomime and pen pals 🙂
