Year 8 Pen Pal Letters

We kicked off this half term with the launch of our penpals partnership with our partner school The Sickingen Gymnasium in Germany.  This school is a grammar school based in Landstuhl, which is situated on the north-west edge of the Palatinate Forest, 11 miles (18 km) west of Kaiserslautern. It is also located near the U.S. Air Force base Ramstein Air Base. Our German friends have already sent us an introductory letter so we were excited to open our letters and see what they had to tell us about themselves and their lives.  Many of the students we are exchanging with are from other countries in Europe and further afield whose parents are based in the army. Some children are from America, France, Poland, Turkey and of course Germany.  Mrs Gill’s Year 8 classes spent two lessons reading through the information in German and then writing a response about ourselves and a recent trip or a holiday we have been on.  I am sure you will agree the letters look fabulous and I am certain our friends in Germany will be thrilled to receive them. These have now all been packaged up and posted over to Germany.  Hopefully we will get a reply soon and we can then send our festive greetings to them in December.
