Snow
Well, it has been humid and 40 degrees at Glendore Public School (Australia) and raining every second day!

Bring on the snow, we say! Have fun - we're off to the beach. Make sure Glenn is rugged up.

Hey Bertie,
What are you doing? I hope you and Glenn are having a good time in England. My name is Riley. My favourite sport is motorbike riding and my least favourite is the 1500m run!

Hi Bertie,
On the weekend Mum and me are going to see Disney on Ice. What is your favourite colour?

Hi Bertie, In the school holidays I am going to Tasmania and I will see a fashion show. Then I am going to Las Vegas and I think it is going to be fun. I hope Glenn and yourself are well.

It is almost time for me to start my school holidays. I will be going to Queensland and visiting MovieWorld. One day I might visit England and come and see you.

Hi Bertie,
Our class has sent letters to Miss Suter\\\'s 3S. They should have arrived by now and we hope the 3S children like them. It is just two days until we start our holidays. Our teacher, Mr Ralston, is going skiing again and we hope he doesn\\\'t break his leg like he did two years ago! How is Glenn?

Hey Bertie,

Your friends back in Australia are really impressed by the Aboriginal art created by students in your school. When will you be making didgeredoos?

Thank you for looking after Glenn while he visited Marchwood Junior School. He really enjoyed his time with you and with the students and their families he travelled around Europe with - he truly appreciates their kindness.

Please wish Glenn a happy Australia Day which is held on 26th January.

I'm sorry to say that I won't be going on the World Cruise with Roy as I wasn't ready in time and got left behind! But never mind as it means I'll be available to go away with one of you during the Half Term holiday - wonderful!

Glenn will need to be going back to Australia very soon, in fact, any day now as the children at his school will be going back to school after their long summer holiday at the end of this month and they'll be missing him greatly if he's still in Marchwood!  Don't worry - we'll say 'Goodbye' to him in assembly before he goes.

Must go now; things to do, places to go!

Bye for now,

Love Bertie

Amazing. But it does mean that we will be very quiet over Christmas and New Year as I probably won't be able to write anything on my Blog.....so....I will now wish you all a very Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year.

We will all be back at the very start of term but guess what? Mr Long, our Caretaker who retired on Wednesday, said that he would take me with him on his 80 day Round the World cruise which starts on January 7th! Unfortunately, Glenn will have to go back to Australia but I will be off on another adventure!

I'm such a lucky Bertie! Anyway, see you all in 2008! Bye for now.

Lots of love,
Bertie

Wow!  and Wow! again.
Well done to all of you. As you know, Glenn and I were sat to the side (Under the Housepoint Cup) during the concert and we both thought it was fantastic. You all played and sang so well. We were both very, very proud of you as were your teachers, your families and Mr. Bassett. We hope that some of you will now want to continue to learn to play those instruments at some time in the future.

The Carol Concert was also very good tonight, so I hear. The Infant children sang and read really well and our Junior children who did the readings and the little play were all marvellous. Well done to you all.

I'm off to bed now as Glenn and I have got a very early start as we're going to Lapland tomorrow!!! Glenn is still wide awake -well, he is Australian and jet-lagged and still thinks he's on Australian time. For him it's already Thursday morning and yet for me it's 9.50pm on Wednesday evening! How does that work? I heard Mr. Bassett explain it in assembly last Monday but I'm still not sure that I understand all about those lines of longitude. Do you? Ask your parents to explain it to you again.
Must go now; I've got to get some sleep.

Nite nite MJS

Love from Bertie

Comment: Olivia H. said: It was a great success, everyone really knew what they were doing.  It made me feel excited about playing an instument next year.

Comment: Gayan C. said: hope you have a good holiday keep worm

Welcome to my new Blog. I'll keep it up to date as much as I can but as you know, Glenn and I are off to Lapland on Thursday so I might not be able to write for a couple of days as my hands will be too cold to type!

I really don't think Mr.Bassett will ever tell which teacher gave Glenn the best kiss; he told me, of course, but I won't tell either!

Have a good time at school whilst I'm away and I hope the Carol Concert at St.John's Church at 6pm on Wednesday evening goes well. I'm sorry I won't be there.

See you all when I get back.

Question: Chloe M: Hi Bertie hope you are haveing fun with Glenn I relly hope you have fun at lapland with Charlotte and Emma

Reply: In answer to that question, I think we will get cold in Lapland but we are very pleased that Emma and Charlotte's grandmother knitted us such nice scarves. They'll help to keep us warm!

By the way, if you are not sure where Lapland is, have a look on the World Map on Bertie's Board or on a globe in school (I think Mr. Bassett had one in the hall the other day - ask him where it is).

Bye for now.
Love, Bertie
