Hi children,

Thanks for your posts. We have really enjoyed reading all about your school. We are the Turtles class and we are 5 and 6 years old. There are 30 of us in our class. We have written some questions for you.
How many children are in your classes?
Is it nice not having to wear school uniform?
Do you have school dinner or packed lunches?
What time do you start and finish school?
What is your country like?

Thank you. We hope to hear from you soon.

From the Turtles class.
