Year 1 learn where they live

Published: 21 April, 2011

The Year 1 children have been learning their addresses, including the all important post code. 

Each class posted two letters addressed to the Prep School.  One letter was sent with a first class stamp and the other with a second class stamp.  The first class letters were delivered to the classroom the very next day.

Steve Blake, from the Royal Mail Sorting Office, came in to talk to the children about the history of the Royal Mail and how the sorting office works today.  He brought the official franking stamp with him and everybody franked a self-addressed envelope with a first class stamp.  The children were very excited when their letters reached their homes one day later.
