Pen Pals - Ms Marinelli

This year in the Pen Pals lunchtime club (run by Mrs Marinelli), we have a great group of committed and enthusiastic writers from Years 3, 4, 5 and 6.  

Pen Pals at Trinity is made up of the following students… Sophia, Giaan, Gracelyn, Henryk, Dylan, Amy, Yagmur, Mila, Patrick, Andrew, Vihaan, Edie, Nathan, Adelia, Prytha, Oscar and Douglas.

Pen Pals are organised through Australia Post and we have been matched with students from Perenjori Primary School in Western Australia. 

The Pen Pals Club meet once a week and are involved in writing letters to students at Perenjori Primary School. It is very exciting as we get to learn about students from a completely different part of Australia, as well as developing our letter writing skills and making new friends.

This week we wrote our first letters to our new Pen Pals and we will be posting them this week. We are looking forward to receiving our first letters from them too!

Here are some of the Pen Pal students' comments about how they feel about being in the club…

I think that the Pen Pals Club is a really great way to connect with other people and also a great way to make friends. I can also practise writing and improving my grammar - Adelia Year 6

I think Pen Pals is a really fun club because we get to know about other people from another place and we get to communicate with them - Prytha Year 6

I enjoy Pen Pals because we can socialise with other students from another school - Gracelyn Year 4

I like Pen Pals because it’s about friendship - Sophia Year 4

Pen Pals is a great social experience where we can learn about others - Yagmur Year 5

Pen Pals is a great way to make new friends - Dylan Year 4

Pen Pals is a great way to socialise and make new friends by writing letters, even though we can’t seem them - Vihaan Year 4

Pen Pals is a great way to connect with other students at other schools that we don't know and a fun way to make new friends - Edie Year 6
