Summer Reading Week 8: Mail Around the World
Dear Summer Reading Kids,
After getting active and engaged in some international games, we’re taking a look across the world to New Zealand with our theme “Mail around the world”!
Get your pens and papers ready, because this week we are going to write some super cool letters to our friends all the way on the other side of the world in a library in New Zealand! The Wellington Library is in Wellington, the capital city of New Zealand. They live in the North Island, also called Te Ika-a-Māui, in the language Māori! Wellington is right beside the Tasman sea, which is the ocean. In our letters we will ask questions about life in New Zealand, draw pictures for our new friends, and tell them about our lives in Huron County!
We will be reading a book called A Letter to my Best Friend by Yangsook Choi, a story about a boy who writes a letter through pictures to his best friend who lives all the way across the world in a country called Korea.
For anyone who can’t make it this week, we have something special for you too! This colouring sheet is a fun way to spend time, print it off at your library or at home! You can also try to write a letter to a friend or family member and see if you can bring it to them or send it in the mail! You can also check out our week 8 online reading list to find a book about letters or mail that you’ll love!
As this is our last week, it’s a chance for us to say goodbye to our new friends, as well as giving out our final prizes for reading excellence!
Thank you all for an amazing summer,
Sincerely,
Nadine and A.J.
