Dear Kamo Elementary
Konnichiwa
In one of our languages called Xhosa which is spoken by many of
the people of South Africa, our word for hello is "Molo"
We were in Grade 3 last year, but in January this year we all
passed and went up to Grade 4. Today we just had a look at the
tree website and read the message from Kamo to Grade 3 (now
Grade 4).
These are our answers:
* We have 225 girls in our school. We have 25 girls in a class.
We are a girls only school.
* Yes, we have a little rain in South Africa. Sometimes the
government puts a limit on how much water we can use at home
because there is not enough water for everyone.
*It does not look like we get a tree called the Japanese Cedar or
cypress in South Africa.
* Yes our leaves do turn red and yellow in autumn, although we
also have evergreens which don't lose their leaves and stay green
all year round. The red and yellow leaves feel crunchy and
sometimes get soggy in the rain.
* Yes we do get trees that have acorns. We have many oak trees
in south africa. When we find acorns, we pick them up and use
them to:
Throw at my sister! Spraypaint them so that they are a pretty
decorationi! Use them to make musical sound effects by whistling
through them! We try to peel them which is hard! Feed them to
the squirrels! The squirrels take the acorns to a safe place to eat
them in the winter! I like taking off the cap and making it look like
a fairy cup! We know of a pig that likes to eat acorns!
Now we have some questions for you:
* Do your trees have acorns on them?
* Do you have evergreen trees?
* Do you have squirrels in Japan?
* Do you have many trees in your school?
* Do you have a national tree? Our national tree for South Africa is
the Yellowood!
* If you have squirrels do they eat your acorns?
* Do you have domestic (farm) pigs in Japan?
Lots of love
