 * __Letter Writing (Postcards__**)

We had to take note of what the weather was like at each location, and then we used wikipedia to find out some interesting facts about our locations. We drafted an informal letter (postcard) to a friend back in New Zealand telling them of our visit to our chosen city.

We created our postcards using pages. We imported a relevant picture and also a stamp from our chosen country. Check out my postcard below.
