WRITING LETTERS to PEN FRIENDS

Durante il mese di novembre abbiamo scritto numerose lettere agli amici francesi ed irlandesi. Di seguito e per motivi di spazio ne vengono pubblicate solo alcune.

During the last month we've been busy , with our English teachers Sandra, Gabriella and Simonetta, writing letters to friends in France and Ireland, getting to know each other. We're pleased to publish some , unfortunately not all of them...
Enjoy reading it!



                         
  Hi there! How are you?
                                                      We  are Samuel and Robert from Italy.
                                                      Our favourite subject's PE (Physical Education) because it's fun.
We have P.E. in our school gymnasium or in the school yard. In  winter we go running or we get ready for spring Athletics games. We practice the long jump , high jump and running.  The gym is very big and comfortable but it has got a bad acoustic, so when we are inside it becomes a bit too noisy. But we don’t care because we love it!
Our teacher's name's Stefano Sellan. He's nice, kind and really very clever. He always suggests us new games to play. He also teaches canoeing in spring for the students who want to try. For that we use the river which flows near our school .It is called Fiume, that means River in English.
Have you ever tried canoeing? IT'S SO COOL!!!!!!
What subject is the funniest in your opinion?

 Let us know.
 We hope to hear from you soon
                                                                Samuel  and Robert

Hello friends! How are you?
We were Dalila Verardo e Alice Santin from class 3 A at scuola media in Fiume Veneto.
 At school our favourite school activities are watching films in  video rooms. In our school there are 3 video rooms. We also love making different posters especially for English:  we cut out pictures from magazines or newspapers or from card boards  and we stick them to make a poster about a special topic: We worked on Halloween or Xmas or about The Children’s rights; we also love using a lot of colours for drawing and writing on these posters. It’s a creative activity and it’s fun working in group!
We enjoy when we go to  the Information and Comunication Tecnology classroom We learn how to use programms and work on the net.
What about you?
Do you do similar activities in your school?
Hope to hear from you soon
Love
                                                                      Dalila and Alice

Hi Grace!

We are Luca and Erika. What are your names? We are 13 and 12 years old and we are in the same class in our school in Fiume Veneto. We are in the 3rd grade.The name of our school is Dante Alighieri: it is called after a famous Italian Writer and poet. He wrote The Divine Comedy. This work was translated in all the languages in the world... probably you have heard of it!
Our school is big, there are 380 students and 36 teachers. In our class there are 26 students: 13 boys and 13 girls; we have got 9 teachers. How many students are there in your class? Have you got classes or do the teachers have their own classrooms? We don’t have the American School system. We’d like to have it. It would be easier and challenging! What do you think?
In our school we study History, Maths, Music, English, German or French, Italian, P.E., Religion, Tecnology and Art. Students love music most! What subjects do you study in your school?
