Edward and Quacker are going home next week. The pupils of 3b and 4a are sorry to see them go and will miss them. They are each taking back a CD of presentations, music and photos, a DVD of music and video about Scotland and a small Scottish teddy to remind the boys and girls in Poland and Romania about me when I was with them. I hope we will keep in touch with each other because it is good to learn about other countries.

Today, Craigiebarns had a visitor from Australia. He was Mr. Isele who is the depute head teacher of a primary school in Brisbane. He took my photo and I am hoping to visit the boys and girls in his school next August after our summer holidays. He says he will send us a mascot from Australia, perhaps a kangaroo! It’s very exciting and I don’t know how I am going to be able to wait until August when I fly out to Australia.
