Dear room three teachers and children.
I hope you are having a great start to the school year and that you had a fabulous thanksgiving weekend. I heard that the leaves are starting to change colours and that is is very beautilful. In Australia now it is spring time and it starting to warm up. But we did have a really cold day this week and it snowed!!!! It snowed up in the Adelaide Hills in Mt. Lofty. There is usually no snow in the Spring time and they hardly ever get snow here. Everyone was very shocked at it was the big news this week.
At kindy this week we have been drawing Mrs. Meredith pictures, the children are very interested in learning more about what you are doing in your classroom. I read them a book about Canada and they loved seeing all the pictures of activities we do in the snow.
Last week we were on school holidays and I got to go on a really exciting trip to the very north part of Australia called the Northern Terriorty. In the north it is very very hot. I took a plane to Darwin with my partner Evan. We were so lucky that his came for a visit all the way from Canada and we all traveled together. We had a camper van which is a home on wheels, we traveld around to all the beautilful parks there and went hiking, walking, swimming and on a few boat rides. I wanted to share some of my pictures with you.
I am really looking foward to meeting all of you in a few months. What have you been learning about at school? What are your favourite things to do? Did you have a nice thanksgiving holiday with your family?
I hope you enjoy the pictures and I will send you another letter soon with the children's drawings.
Have a grreat weekend,
Ms. Leventhal
These pictures are from a trip to the Gorge wildlife park where we saw many interesting animals.
These pictures are from our trip to the Northern Territory. We had so much fun exploring all the beautiful nature.
This is me trekking to Jim Jim waterfalls.
This is where we got to swim after our really big trek.
We went to Katherine Gorge, we had to climb up rocks really high to get a good view. It was so hot but I made it to the top. This is me about mid way taking a break.
Some beautiful waterfalls at Buley rock hole.
A walk through Litchfeild park. You can't go anywhere without some water to stay hydrated in the hot heat !
A jumping crocodile.
I hope you enjoyed the pictures, I look forward to seeing some pictures from Canada.
