I thought I'd share this with you via the blog as we may not get a chance to look at it in class this week. I know you were all wondering when we would hear from Roxie. Well, this was an email that I got from her tonight.
(I've decided to email this so you got it before the end of school. I hope they resolve the postal strike soon. )
Dear Grade Three Friends!
I am so sorry it has taken me so long to write to you. I have been having an amazing time, and have been very busy over these last few months. I think the last I wrote to you, I was headed to Africa for a Safari Adventure. Well, let me tell you, there were some breathtaking and rare sites to be seen! In fact, there were so many of them, that I can't recount them all to you. It would take reams and reams of paper to retell! I will share a couple of my hilights with you though.
I was able to see elephants having a bath and playing in the water, rhinos wrestling with each other, and we caught a rare glimpse of a lion and his pride snoozing under the sizzling African sun (we kept a safe distance so we didn't become their dinner).
That trip lasted a month, and was a welcome relief after the freezing cold temperatures of Russia!
I realized that it was probably time for me to head home as I had been gone for so long. On my way back, I stopped in Australia to see the kangaroos in the Outback and I had a lay-over in Hawaii for 3 days where I got to visit some inactive volcanoes.
It was bitter sweet to come back home to Trois Rivieres. I had such a wonderful time roaming this interesting planet of ours, but it was nice to get back and sleep in my own bed.
I have two final riddles for you before your summer holidays begin.
A man left home running. He ran a ways and then turned left, ran the same distance and turned left arain, ran the same distance and turned left again. When he got home there were two masked men. Who were they?
Although I didn't get to visit France this year, I wonder if you can tell me:
What is in the middle of Paris?
Hope the riddles are not too difficult for you. Have a wonderful summer holiday, and good luck in grade four! May you have many interesting adventures in the years to come.
Yours in Adventure,
What was your favourite adventure that you took this year in grade 3?
