This year, Division 3 were pen pals with the Division 3 class from Confederation Park. Students learned the (“old fashioned”) art of letter-writing as a form of communication, including how we greet the recipient and how we sign off, how we address an envelope, and the general kind of social chatter we engage in when meeting new people.
Yesterday, we took the bus down the mountain to finally meet the people with whom we have been exchanging letters! We had a fabulous day in the sun at Confederation Park playing in the spray park, the playground, and the tennis courts. At one point there was even a big soccer game happening! We even made portraits of what we though each other would look like and exchanged them–some were pretty close to reality, and others… not so much! The students from Confederation Park brought out some sports equipment, and we brought bracelet-making supplies, and card games so there were a variety of options.
Some new friendships were formed and old friendships strengthened. I hope everyone had a great day!
