Our Flat Friends are all in a flurry doing last minute things before heading home. I had so many emails reporting in that my email blocked up and shut itself down. Since it was Thanksgiving in Canada, I was away and am only able to download and take everything off  just now. 
The photo of Flat Ana in her tartan has gone missing - Peter and Kerry, please could you resend. If anything else you have posted is not on the blog, please let me know.
Sorry about that..... 
All Flat friends should now be posted back.
Thanks heaps - hope you like our blog. 
Cheers,
Mary and her Gr. 3 class

Possum Magic - what's your favourite food?

We have just read Possum Magic by Mem Fox. Poor Hush. We are very glad that he became visible again. We learnt all about the foods in the story and we already know some of the places Hush went to because our Flat friends are visiting there too. What is your favourite Australian food? 
Adrianna asks, "How would you like it if Hush became invisible again?"
Isabella asks, "What is your family's favourite food?" 
Samantha asks, "What food do you eat more often?"

THEY'VE ARRIVED.

Our Flat friends are arriving in Australia.

Yay. 

So far, flat friends are arriving in north east Victoria, NSW, and Tasmania. 

If you are able to, please can you either send posts and pictures to here OR to my email. I will be in touch with you all soon. 

My students and their families can't wait to see what our Flat friends are doing in Australia. We have already learnt about the Hills Hoist thanks to Kerry in Yarra Glen. 

Thanks again,

Mary
