Just before 1/2 term, we started to learn about the different styles of writing letters. We learnt how to send emails and how to write a postcard. To make the experience more real, the children had to write their postcard to someone important to them - most were written to their family. As part of the process, we discovered that no one really knew how long a postcard would take to arrive at it's destination (most children thought it would only take a few hours at most) So, we decided to set up an experiment. Postcards were written, and then Ezekiel (photographer) Jan and Jess went to the post office, bought the stamps (a mixture of 1st & 2nd class stamps) and safely deposited them in the right post box. Interestingly the cards took between 1 and 5 days to arrive, and 1 seems to have got lost (poor Peter). Perhaps we should write to the Royal Mail and let them know!
