Flat Stanley Visits Dunedin, New Zealand

Hi all, Especially Ashelyn, Mrs Meiners and the rest of the 3rd grade class from James Walker Elementary School in Blue Springs Missouri.
 This post is about Flat Stanley Travelling over 1651 miles from Blue Springs, MO to LA. Then LA to Auckland, New Zealand I travelled another 6523 Miles! I was becoming a frequent flyer by this stage. The I travelled the 661 miles at least to get to Dunedin and I was truly happy to get out of that Envelope!
I arrived at The Kelsall's house hold that has 3 children and a Mum and Dad, 2 cats and a dog! The girls were on a school holidays so it was great time to arrive! (One Surprising thing that Flat Stanley found out was that all the children were adopted! He was happy to see how well they all get on and how much love they had for each other! However like all siblings there are a few fights! LOL!)
The Parents are Ruth a  trained teacher who is a stay at home Mum. (MOM) Keith is the dad and he is an Engineer Aiden Emily and Alice

 This a picture of our car and did you notice that we drive on the otherside of the road than you do in America!

 This is taken outside our classrooms at our School St Clair School Dunedin. http://www.stclair.school.nz/ is our school website you may like to check out Rooms 5 and 15 Blogs on this site and see what we are all studying!

 Here is Flat Stanley up on the bars! In our School playground.

 

 We went to a lookout to show you part of our city!  We found a monument that was dedicated to An American sailor who travelled from Dunedin all the way to the Antarctica.

 

 We then went for a swing at a community playground! A go on a flying fox! A sew saw!

 

 We then came home and did some craft and ate yummy dessert!

 

The next day we meet some friends and went out for lunch at the Best café! We all had yummy Fish and Chip lunches!!!  

 

 

 

 Then we went to one of the most photographed buildings in Dunedin our Railway station!

This is the Mozaic tiles they laid on the floor they are over a 100 years old and still beautiful.

Another day we climbed the steepest street in the world called Baldwin st!  

 

 We went to Hairspray the Musical to see Aiden in the cast! He is 18 and studies Music at University!

 

 

 Another outing was to the garden store to start planting up for Summer! Because we live in the Southern hemisphere we have spring in your Autumn (now!) and Christmas is in the middle of Summer! We get our long holiday from school then. 6 weeks off! then every 10 weeks we have a 2 week break!

Well I am afraid that I can't make it back in time to Missouri as time travel isn't possible! So I asked The mother( Ruth) to help me write a blog post so you all can see it quicker!
Good Bye for NOW!!!
Regards Flat Stanley!

He is what Emily wrote about Me arriving!
Flat Stanley arriving.
I was so exited when I got your letter and surprised to see flat Stanley arrive. When I laid eyes on flat Stanley I wondered why he was there then I read the note then I thought alright I am going to make the best holiday ever. Flat Stanley had pavalova and sausage in bread for his meal flat Stanley loved it. I showed him around the house and we liked the house so I put him on the table and it was dinner. Flat Stanley is lovely he has got great manners and very nice comments to say.

Flat Stanley
Flat Stanley can be very flat indeed! His journey hasn't gone long but he is having something for pudding it is pavalova with a big flake and some little flakes on top.
We haven't gone anywhere yet with him but we have taken a photo with him and his pudding it was very delicious and looked delicious too.
