Subject: Hi
Hi Alice!
How are things? It’s great to hear from you. I really miss you!
That’s an interesting project your teacher has given you. Why don’t you write about the special day we had at school a month ago? Everyone made or gave things to sell. There were cupcakes, bread, pizza, books, pictures and clothes. Our families came and we had a party. It was fantastic. We made £1,600!
We gave all the money to help protect honeybees. A lot of the natural habitat for bees has gone because people have built houses and roads it. We need to save the bees!
Good luck with your project. Please write back and tell me about it.
Bye!
Charlotte
