Daisy was very excited when her cousin, Misty, flew in from London for a family visit. Daisy was so delighted, that she brought Misty along to spend a day at school with us. Misty came to school for the whole week! We really enjoyed having Misty to visit. She fitted into our class so well and did all her work so well. This included going for swimming lessons with us. This was really brave of Misty because she said that she hadn't been to a swimming pool for about 2 years. If you live in England, swimming lessons are not a priority as they are in N.Z. We know that we need to know how to swim well because we often go to the beach or a pool, or out on the boat.
We learnt that school is different for Misty back in England. She goes to primary school where everyone must wear a uniform. The boys wear long black trousers! Both girls and boys wear a white shirt with a knotted tie - all day long! When we eat our lunch at school, Misty eats a cooked dinner at school - in the hall. People work at the school to prepare, cook and serve a hot meal to children. Misty's favourite meal is macroni cheese, followed by custard and fruit.
We hope that Daisy and Misty had a lovely holiday together in N.Z. Perhaps, one day Daisy will visit Misty and spend time at her school.
