Yesterday we received a parcel that had travelled all the way from Kosice in Slovakia!

Some of you may be aware that I was given the opportunity to visit Kosice last year as part of the Place Project and I worked with teachers from across the UK, Slovakia and Czech Republic looking at ways to develop the way we use our outdoor area.

I have kept in touch with several of the teachers but formed a great friendship with a teacher in Kosice called Martina. We thought it would be nice to link our classes and yesterday we received a surprise parcel in the post.

The children from the school in Kosice had decorated pegs for us and sent us halloween sweets. They had also created a game of guess who for us to play!

Crummock class are planning to send a parcel back to teach the children in Slovakia about the annual British tradition of Bonfire Night and introduce themselves.
