Primary 3 were very excited today when two new people joined their class for the next few weeks! They have been joined by Troy and Miley who have come all the way from Springfield High School in the United States. They have been set the challenge of finding out all about houses and homes in Scotland.
Miley and Troy are going to visit different parts of Strichen and perhaps even go and visit some of the houses of the pupils in the class. When the pupils left school today Miley and Troy were tucked up in their beds in the corner of the classroom.
We look forward to hearing how Miley and Troy get on and we hope there might be a few more blog posts about how they are getting on.
The pupils received a letter from Troy and Miley before they arrived. You can read the letter below.
"Hi Primary 3
Our names are Troy and Miley. We go to Springfield High School and our school has set us a really tricky assignment. All of the boys and girls have to find out about houses and homes from different parts of the world. Guess which country we were asked to research? Scotland! We were so excited when we heard we were going to be sent to Scotland, to stay, or about 7 weeks!
We really want to do well. So far our grades have not been too good so we hope you can help us so that our teacher will be pleased with all the things we find out. We were looking on the web for a school we thought looked fun and saw your school website. Strichen School looks great. We felt sure you would be willing to help us! Oh, your school meals look good too!
We are really looking forward to working with you and seeing and experiencing some fo your famous Scottish sights and traditions. We Americans just love Scotland.
Troy and Miley."
