| Orientation | Dear Granpa and Grandma, Yesterday at my school we had an International Day. We had performances, food stalls, displays, raffle ticket draw, and some of us were dressed in costumes. |
| Event 1 Event 2 Event 3 Event 4 Event 5 | We started our day off with performances but the one I liked best was the one from fourth grade. We played games. The performance I was in was Lambada. Straight after our performances we had our lunch. There were food stalls. They came from Australia, Asia, Arab, and Greece. Everyone had a job. These people were from sixth grade. I did my job after I had lunch. My job was to sell Intenational Day Books. We had displyas in the hall. These displays were good but I didn’t get to see them. They displays came from a lot of countries. There were also a Trash and Treasure stall where they sold toys. The school got these things by asking the children to bring them in. |
| Resolution | Although I didn’t win anything, International Day was still fun. Love from Sue |
