- Thank you for your reply. Since Nova Scotia is on the east coast of Canada
- and all parts are close to the sea our temperatures are nowhere near as cold
- as central and northern Canada. We will have several spells with the
- temperature down about minus 14 Celsius and the wind chill makes the
- temperature to the skin even colder (minus 25 - 30). Most of the time in the
- winter our daily temperature will be about minus four or five.

- I've just tried spacing the text: may have made a mess of it. We have 91
- children aged 5 - 11 in our four-homeroom school. Primary and grade 1 - 29,
- grade 2 & 3 - 18, grade 3 & 4 - 18 and 29 in grade 5 & 6 (my class: this is
- the teacher Gordon Jeffery responding) There are nine grade 6 children, all
- aged 11 at the start of the year, except for one girl who was 10 and became
- 11 on Sept. 15. The grade 5 class of 17 children are mainly 10, with two
- aged 12.******** You have a large class
- - 38. We are trying to get an IBM computer: at the moment we have a
- Commodore 64. Do you have any other Electronic Pals ? We are new to this
- work so any tips you have for us wwill be useful.
- The Wentworth Grade 5 and 6 children send greetings to the College Street
- School Std. 3 and 4 class. The children are hoping for snow so that they may
- start skiing. We have a good ski hill in our valley - many of the parents
- work there during the winter.
- How many children are there in your school ? What will your Christmas Day
- be like - sunny and at the beach ?
- Bye from your Wentworth, Nova Scotia, Canada friends.
