This morning Te Kira, Noah, Laker, Ben, Max H, Elijah, Corbin and Mollie walked with Jessie and reliever Rochelle (who will be with us two days a week in 2010) for a walk. We posted Christmas invites in our nieghbours letter boxes for our Christmas sing-along and morning tea on Thurs 17th Dec.
Ben could recognize numbers in groups of three saying "two, six, seven" for letterbox number two hundred and sixty seven. Laker said "I have seen a post man riding a scooter". When we talked about the circle hole at the top of some letterboxes Te Kira said "it is for circle mail", Max H added "it's for my magazines". After we stopped for a drink of water under a tree in Onekawa Park and where walking back, a neighbour said hello and asked, are you having fun? Noah replied "'ello, 'ello", very kindly to her.
These children openly related their stories and expriences about mail and letterboxes to each other.

That is such a cool idea!
Noah is very interested in the letterbox at home at the moment!
