Exchange year 3 

In leerjaar 3 vind de 'uitwisseling' plaats. 

Tijdens de uitwisseling word je gekoppeld aan een leerling uit het buitenland. Deze leerling zal met zijn/haar klas een week langskomen hier in Nederland en jullie zullen met je klas een week daarheen gaan! 

Which countries have our pupils been to?

The exchange 

In year 3 we want to go abroad with as many year 3 kids as possible. 

In an exchange we match you up with a class of pupils the same age. They will visit us and you will visit them. 

You will be with your match in the evenings as well 

*insert story of pupil*

Maurice stuurt materiaal voor tekstwolkjes 

Het is mega leuk 

en je hebt veel 

vrije tijd.

Ik heb veel geleerd over de cultuurverschillen en vond het een hele leuke ervaring.

Ik vind dat onze klas hechter is geworden en dat komt ook denk ik omdat ik nu andere mensen heb gesproken dan met wie ik in de klas zou spreken.

Ik moest veel Engels spreken, mijn Engels werd daardoor echt beter! 

Dat ik goed mijn eigen keuzes kan maken en me aan kan passen in een andere cultuur, van de inwisseling hoe je verantwoordelijk bent voor iemand die in je huis verblijft en alles moet regelen

Ik heb geleerd hoe snel je contact kan maken met mensen uit een ander land

Lay-out of a letter!

Match the following items into the correct order of writing an email

Dear Jack,

How are you? I am doing quite well. Let me tell you something about my chores.

First of all, I do a couple of chores at home. I tidy my room and water the plants in the garden. 

Second, my youngest sister is sixteen years old, she does not have to do any chores! It is so unfair. Do you have to do any chores at your home?

I hope that you are writing soon!

Best wishes,

Tyler Berlind

I remember how to write an email!
