Last Friday in their English lesson each child in 5F received a Christmas card. All the Christmas cards were handmade by children from a Polish school in a little town called Krotoszyn. The Christmas cards are a start to our new pen pal project in Year 5. The Polish children are learning English and the pen pal scheme we are introducing will help encourage them to learn the language so they can use their English in written conversations with our pupils.
The children introduced themselves and described their looks and personalities in the letters attached to the Christmas cards. Over the next week, our children will respond to the letters, thinking about what is important to share and being aware of using good English. We will then send them back to the Polish school. We hope the project will help us make new connections with children from a different background and that the children will enjoy learning about each others lives and experiences!
It was lovely to see the excitement on their faces as the children received all these beautiful cards!
