Greetings from Wellington



Hi Room 8,

How are you all? I have had a great day down in Wellington. Have a look in the Atlas to see where Wellington is. I have just shown your fantastic work to about 50 teachers and principals. I showed your podcast / blogsite to these people. They were very impressed. You may have more visitors, clicking into our site.

I will take some photos of Wellington for you tomorrow. The hotel is opposite Te Papa-the Museum. I hope to go to the Museum after my meetings tomorrow.

Take Care and Be Good,

Love From,

Miss Paton
