Hello fellow tooth counters …
Here in “the land downunder” (Sydney, NSW, Australia) we have finally
finished our summer holidays and returned to school. The weather is
still very hot! The children have been placed into classes and we’re
almost ready to start counting teeth!
Lindfield East Primary School is a large school with about 720 children.
The school is about half an hour drive north of our capital city,
Sydney. We have five year 1 classes – all taking part in the Tooth Tally
Project. I am the specialist computer teacher and I work with the class
teacher when the children have computer lessons. This is the second year
we have taken part in the Tooth Tally and last year it was really
fabulous. We all learnt a lot about going to school in another country.
Soon, my class will send you their first email to introduce themselves
and we’ll tell you all about us then.
It will be great to get to know you during the next three months and I
hope it’s going to be fun comparing year 1 life - and teeth - in our
schools.

Dear
Buddies
We have 22 people in our class and our school has over 700 children. Our
class teacher is Miss Hyland and our computer teacher is Mrs Hill. They
are the best teachers in the world! Our school is called Lindfield East
Public School. We are near Sydney in Australia.
It is summer here and we wear short sleeved uniforms to school. The boys
wear a blue shirt and grey shorts and the girls wear a blue and white
checked dress. You can see our uniforms in the photos we are sending
you.

We do maths, spelling, homework, art, music, painting, science and
computer lessons.
Our play equipment is near the trees and we sometimes hear the
kookaburras laughing in the trees. We are sending you the sound a
kookaburra makes. The playground is safe and we feel very safe in our
school. Our classroom is lovely because we have lots of different
coloured things and work around it.

Dear Tooth Tally Buddies,
Our class has lost 8 teeth for February; it was the most at our school
so we are very proud of ourselves.

Dear Buddies,
Our class has lost 7 teeth in March. Riley lost 3 teeth in one month!
Luke, Luisa, Emily and Jonty also lost one tooth each.
Last week we had Harmony Day in our school. We all dressed up in clothes
from our heritage. We had morning tea with our buddy class, saw the
Chinese Dragon dance, a Mexican dance, a Chinese mermaid dance, a
Japanese dance and Pacific Islander dances. At the end, all of the boys
had to stand up to do the Maori Haka and the girls did a Hawaiian dance.
Some photos are attached.

On Wednesday we are having a crazy hair day to raise money for kids with
leukaemia. We will send a photo of our class to show you.
We are going on holidays at the end of this week. We will be back in two
weeks.
Love from 1DH, Miss Hyland & Mrs Hill
