Dear Barnaby Bear,
At school we have been learning about the Jewish religion. We saw a real seder plate, Tallit, Minorah, and other Jewish things. My mum thought I did well in my sats. I got all level 3. Also Mrs Fyles is retirering from nursery, she is getting too old too work. In the weekend the Nursery had a flood. Also we had just had sports day, It was cruel on the Juniors because we had to stop Sports day and we had to go in. We had to stop Sports day because it was raining. Two weeks ago we went to Chester Zoo and we watched Wind in the willows. Then the day before that a lady came teaching us songs, she is called Imelda. Then on the Friday we had yellow day. At home I went to Broosters and I had a meal. Ryan Naylor has gone to Scotland and Liam has gone to Turkey. In the school holidays I am going to Cyprus with my Uncle Ian and Auntie Lynnette, That’s enough for now.

At school it hasent been much fun without you. I’ve made lots of new freinds but you are still my best friend. Me and class 8 went on a school trip to haigh hall. We went on a nature walk and then we went pond dipping. It was when we went pond dipping that I caught a BIG fish.
Allways thinking of you
