There are only 8 children in Muck Primary School so it didn\u2019t take us too long to read the letter. They told us all about life on the island and it sounds great! They also asked more questions so we wrote them a letter.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/blogs.glowscotland.org.uk\/wl\/stniniansps\/files\/2017\/03\/IMG_7309.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-15409 size-medium\" src=\"https:\/\/blogs.glowscotland.org.uk\/wl\/stniniansps\/files\/2017\/03\/IMG_7309-e1489179029796-225x300.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"225\" height=\"300\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Here we are with their letters.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/blogs.glowscotland.org.uk\/wl\/stniniansps\/files\/2017\/03\/IMG_7328.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-15410\" src=\"https:\/\/blogs.glowscotland.org.uk\/wl\/stniniansps\/files\/2017\/03\/IMG_7328-300x225.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"225\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Angelina- This week \u201cwe had a magical post box arrive outside our classroom.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Leo-\u201cThe mouse left us a message to tell us to go outside and look in the post box.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>We all went out and opened it together.
