This week we received yet another package in our box. Anticipation of where it came from and what was in it could be hear around the room.
As we gathered around to find out the answers we noticed it was addressed to Mrs. Todd and the Roadrunners. The return address was Upper Plenty 3/4 C and Miss Crowther’s in Australia so that was one question answered. Now to find out what was inside. As Reese pulled open the package tab and Kaylie looked inside and pulled out the contents we found the answer to our second question.
Inside we found two cards wishing us a Merry Christmas and the students in 3/4 C Upper Plenty, Victoria, Australia had signed them. Then there was a wrapped package that was flat and square wrapped with red Christmas paper. Kaylie opened it and inside was a book and CD with Aussie Christmas songs. We found out they were different from our songs.
Although it arrived in America after our holiday it was a nice surprise for the first of the year. We wanted to listen and sing along. Thank you, Upper Plenty for sharing with us!
We hear that it was very hot there this week. While you were baking in the sun we had temperatures in the early morning in the high 20’s low 30’s F. And daytime temps around 50 degrees F. Do you know what that is in Celsius?
How wonderful to get a parcel on your first day back! In the UK, teachers go back on Monday 7th and children go back on Tuesday 8th. We’ve had a good long break! No snow this holiday, but it’s been a wet and windy fortnight so perhaps we’re in for some drier brighter weather for the New Year… I think everyone would want to see a bit of snow in the next few weeks as well!
Hello Roadrunners & Mrs Todd,
I am pleased that the package arrived safely, albeit a little bit late for Christmas! I also happy to read that you liked it and wanted to sing along. We had fun singing some funny Australian Christmas songs at the end of the year.
We’re still enjoying our Christmas/Summer holidays in Australia at the moment. We have another three weeks or so left. Like Mrs Monaghan in England, the teachers here go back before the students. I don’t know that that is fair? What do you all think? I have a feeling you will think it is perfectly fine! 🙂
You are quite right, it has been VERY hot in Australia recently. The temperatures are breaking all sorts of records. Last week it was 41 degrees Celsius, which is about 106 degrees Fahrenheit – double your day time temperatures!
Stay warm!
Miss Crowther 🙂
