When we arrived at school this morning Sebastian spotted another package. It was near the Promethean Board so we all hurried to look at it.
Later we decided we needed to know some things about it….
- Who was it from?
- Was it light or heavy?
- Where did it come from?
- Why did it come here?
- How much did it cost to send it to us?
- Who is if for?
- How many days did it take to arrive?
- How much will it cost to go back?
Then we passed the package around to find out some of the answers.
It was light. It was to Brenda Todd. It came from Jim Alvaro. It cost $6.30 cents to mail it by United States Post Office.
It didn’t say international mail or air mail like the other packages had in bold print. It had Priority Mail on the box. We then spotted a small thing that said air mail.
We then make predictions about what might be inside this mystery package.
- Will- Another set of Flat Stanley’s.
- David- Flat Stanley’s
- Angel- Flat Stanley’s
- Oscar- Flat Stanley
- Jaidyn- more candy and a towel, Flat Stanley’s
- Monzerrat- a towel
- Liana- Flat Stanley
- J ohn-Flat Stanley
- Sophia- Flat Stanley and some notes
- Brittany- Snail and Whale project
- Allison- Flat Stanley , candy, book
- Bryan- candy, Flat Stanley and note and book
- Nicolas- Flat Stanley’s we sent
- Kaitlyn- candy, towel, Flat Stanley
- James- book and Flat Stanley
- Elliott- Flat Stanley
After lunch we opened the package and found that Brittany had predicted right. It was the snail and whale all the way from New Zealand. Perhaps all the rain we had yesterday washed them in from the sea. The box wasn’t wet. We looked at the book and inside saw that they had traveled from another school. We noticed inside the book it came from Russell Street School in Palmerston North , New Zealand then traveled on to The Classroom Connection in New Brunswick , Canada. We don’t know where it went from there. If you know please tell us.

Hi Mrs Todd,
My name is Clementine and my teacher is Miss Migan. I’m from Australia.
Do you every wonder what your Flat Stanley is doing? I now I do. Can you belive we are on our second round of Flat Stanley’s?
From Clementine
Hi Clementine,
What do you think your Flat Stanley might be doing? Where is your Flat Friend– I think they are in Victoria, Australia with Mrs. Murphy’s class.
What do you like best about Australia and going to school at Curl, Curl?
Hi, we are so glad our snail and whale arrived safely at your school! They have come from Mr Alvaro’s class in Michigan, USA.
We love the slideshow and I have put it on the snail and whale blog and I’m going to put it on our class blog as well.
We have sorted our snail and whale blog out so you can now put pictures on it again. We would love to see some photos of what you have been up to with them.
I know that all USA schools are going on holiday soon so we would appreciate it if you sent the snail and whale back to NZ before you break.
Thanks for being a host class, you rock!
Stephen – Russell Street School, NZ
