Hello,

In the second half of February one of my dreams came true, my parents came to visit me in Japan.  They even managed to come to some of E-Friends Activity classes and nursery school visits.

At Ryugatake E-friends Kids class 16 children came and had the chance to meet my parents.  My mum and dad joined in the activity  and made clay models while the children painted their models they had made at the previous class.  At Himedo the class was smaller, so it was a great chance for the kids to listen to native speakers communicating with each other.

We went to Shimoyama nursery school this month as well.  The kids had been looking forward to meeting my parents and had been practising welcoming them to their nursery.  Although a little  nervous They did a great job.  My parents joined in when we were singing English songs together which was great fun.

At Matsushima E-friends Activity class we made interesting face collages by using various magazines and cutting out eyes, mouths and noses to make scary or funny faces.  My mum and dad visited this class too, and had fun making faces with the kids.

See you soon,

Tim
