One of our most recent projects is the White Shark Projects Swop Shop. It (combines) a conservation, social improvement and education in a unique way. The children (gather) bottles, tins, plastics and other recyclable things and (keep) them in bags to the White Shark 'Swop Shop'. In return, they (spend) buying points that they (save up) in the shop. The shop (opens) at two on Tuesday afternoons, but the children (collect) long before that, lining up and (bring) to earn their points. Happy chatter (carries) the air as they (have) their turn to trade in their points for something from the Swop Shop. For example, one bag of tins might be traded for a bar of soap, two might be worth a pencil, four a second-hand T-shirt and so on. Or the children can (waiting) for something more expensive like a toy they (trade) their eye on. The shop (fills) only worthwhile stock such as stationery, simple clothing, and food basics, and relies completely on donations.
Hi, Rosie! How are you?
I'm on the Isle of Wight with my class for the weekend. We're learning to sail with an instructor called Danny.
Yesterday morning I was sailing in a small boat with my friend Jodie, when suddenly she stood up. I fell into the sea and it was very cold!
As soon as Danny saw me, he came to rescue me. I was lucky because he was very near the boat when the accident happened. But while he was helping me, I dropped my camera into the water and I lost all my photos!
Then I ran up the beach to our hotel and I put on some dry clothes. I felt much better after that, but I was upset about the camera.
See you soon, Isabel
