Dear Pop,
I'm 8 on the 13th June.
I finished my reading book after years of working through it. I can read all of the Hungry Bear books, which are fun books about a bear meeting a polar bear and meeting a flea, and wanting to sleep.
We're going to Wellington Caves on Saturday.
We're going to do a play of Peter Pan in my Drama class. We go to Drama on Mondays.
I'm now playing rugby union. I scored one try in my fourth game! I really like my team, and tackling.
We moved the rooms around and I have my own room now. Now, Eve is in the top bunk, and Finny is in her cot with the wall taken off. They are sharing a room now. When visitors come, they have to sleep in my room because there's no guest room now. Mum and Dad are starting a new business and they are using the extra rooms for work. I will sleep in bottom bunk in the girls room when visitors come. You should come visit us soon. Tell Mama G to come too.
See ya!
Hi Tully. It was good to speak to you on your birthday and to see you all at home. Seeing you on the phone or computer seems normal to you but when I was your age it was science fiction. I used to watch a TV program after school called Jet Jackson. He used a phone and could see who he was talking to on a screen like a TV. I thought, "Oh, that will never happen." but it has happened! You probably don't think that's amazing, but I do.
ReplyDeleteI am glad to hear that you are reading well and enjoying rugby and drama. I played rugby and acted in some plays too. One thing I need to do now is remind you of the question I asked in my last post. Who was Governor Phillip? Do you remember the sailing ship named after him? Your ggggg grandfather, Andrew Drysdale was the captain of the ship. I'm sure your Mum or Dad can answer my question for you and tell you a little bit about Governor Phillip. For example, what was the name of the fleet that he sailed to Australia? How many ships were there in the fleet? Who were all the people who came with him? Why did they come?
I shall look forward to reading your next post.
Pop
Hi Pop,
ReplyDeleteGovernor Phillip was the first governor in Australia. He came to Australia with 11 ships called the First Fleet. The ships were full of prisoners. They wanted the prisoners to build a jail and a port and other buildings and banks so that they could conquer Australia. They wanted to have more land in the Southern Hemisphere and they had too many prisoners in Britain. So it sounded like a good idea to them. But I think it was dumb because they tried to kill all these peaceful people.
See ya Pop!
from Tully.
Hi Tully. Good answer.
