As you are aware, we wrote to a school in Mauritius to establish a penpal relationship with them. The class teacher said that her pupils were excited and delighted with their letters! A number of our pupils have now received replies as the other school have asked their parents to write and post letters as opposed to paying for postage by the school.We are hopeful that most pupils will have a response by the end of term.
Many parents will know Margaret Mary through her involvement with St Johns Church. She has family in Mauritius and has visited several times. She kindly spoke to the children about her first hand experiences of their culture and island and brought in several photographs, maps and shells for the children to see.
