- Dear Kelsey Evert
-
- My name is Christina Macpherson. I am going into Year 5
- of primary school here in Australia this year. Our school year
- starts on Tuesday, February 2. We have four terms of about ten
- weeks each.I live less than 100 metres from the school gate. I
- like maths and craft and I enjoy most school sports.
-
- I read in your message in K12 Elementary that you liked
- soccer, horses and collecting cards. I like soccer a lot. I got
- a new soccer ball for Christmas. I want to learn to play tennis.
-
- We have enough space for one a horse but our gardens are
- very special and take up most of the yard. I go riding when I
- am on my auntie's farm but usually on a motorbike.
-
- I like swimming just like you do. I don't like the
- races at school carnivals. I lose because I am tiny. I just swim
- for fun.
-
- This week my dad took my brother, my visiting cousin &
- I to a covered pool to swim. That's good because we don't have
- to wear lotions and worry about sunburn.
-
- I turn ten on March 1st. I have one brother named Tim.
- He is eight years old on the 23rd of January. I'd prefer a
- sister but Mum and Dad say they have enough kids.
-
- I see you have less pets than many other kids here.
-
- For pets, I have two cats and ten peachfaces. The cats'
- names are Misty and Harold. Misty is eleven and she's really
- sick at the moment. She may die of old age soon. Harold is
- good. He is a really funny cat. He's a part Russian Blue. In
- case you don't know what peachfaces are, they are small
- Australian parrots. They have two shades of green for their
- bodies and a sort of pinkish face. They are a tiny bit bigger
- than a canary.
-
- I am blonde and have long, straight hair that goes
- halfway down my back. I am 128 centimetres tall. My mass is
- right on 26 kilograms at the moment. I am short and weigh less
- than most kids in my class. That's 5 foot 3 inches and about
- 60 pounds. My dad said to tell you because you don't live in a
- metric country.
-
- My dad is a teacher. My Mum is a bank teller.
-
- I have my own computer but I prefer to use dad's big
- one. It is easier to use on the BBS. Do you have your own?
-
- It is very hot at the moment. We have about 15 days a
- year where it stays over thirty degrees all day. This is one
- of them. We measure temperature in Celsius. Thirty degrees
- here is about 85 F in your country.
-
- The name of my school is Blackalls Public. I hope to
- have Mr Berry as my teacher next year. I have not had a man
- teacher since I started school. What's your school like?
-
- Please write soon.
