Sorry it has taken us so long to reply, our internet access has been down at

school. Here is one of my classes and here they are to introduce our

school....They have all found and listed your addresses on the world map!

  Hi, our names are Vikki and Sasha. We go to Derwent Lodge School, private

school for girls. Vikki and I are both nine, but Vikki is the youngest in our class. We are not

allowed to bring pack-lunches! Ours is the biggest class in the school with 18 pupils.

At our school we have four different houses. They are called: Windermere,

Ulleswater, Grassmere and Coniston, they are all named after lakes. We are

both in Grassmere. At our school we have a variety of different sports they are;

Cross-country, Nettle, Football, Lacrosse and Hockey. The sport that most people Dislike is

Cross-country (running). We have a uniform. The colours that make up this uniform are blue,

black and white. We don' have a choice whether to wear trousers or skirts,

we have to wear skirts. We have quite a few lessons and it would take a long time

to go through them all! Vikki's favourite is drama and Sasha' favourite is English.

Hope to hear from you soon! From Vikki and Sasha!
 

Hi! Our names are Siobhan and Courtney,

   We go to Derwent Lodge, Sommerhill a private school ( where our parents pay).

We are different in many ways , like we have to wear school uniform

(which is pretty boring) and we don't play basket ball. We have three schools in one building,

the first one we go to is Sommerhill which is for girls and boys up to grade 2.

Then if you'e a boy you go to Yardley court, and if you're a girl like us you go to Derwent Lodge.

We are both in grade 5. One fact is that our food is not that tasty.

We have to get to school by 8:30 and school ends at 4:30, Yippee at last;

but a sudden downfall as we have HOMEWORK!!!

Life's not that bad since we don't get the dreaded detentions. We just

have to go to the headmistress called Mrs York .

From your new found pen pals .
