THIS MESSAGE COMES FROM AARON. In the photo I am the one in front with the extra skinny legs and white T-shirt.
I imagine Wigan to be a very big city full of skyscrapers and people. I've wondered how much grass and trees in your school grounds. I wonder how cold it gets in winter and how hot in summer? I think you would do the same sports as us, like rugby, netball, sailing, golf, volleyball and soccer. I guess you would have more TV channels than 0ur 3 (as well as SKY). I bet you have world famous people that live close by. I think most people live in apartments in Wigan. I have a bit of difficulty with your uniform as it is REALLY different from ours. No way would we wear a tie. See ya later guys!!
THIS MESSAGE COMES FROM DANIEL. In the photo I am beside Kahn who is hanging from the tree.
I think of Wigan as a town where buildings are bunched up together. I think their homes won't have a backyard and are very small. I'm really, really worried about both of our uniforms although we don't have to wear a tie. I hear you like pies. I think you have lots and lots of skyscrapers. I also hear you are good at football and rugby. We were lucky to draw with you in the cricket this week. I think the homes are made of brick? Do you have a big field at your school?
THIS MESSAGE COMES FROM DAVID. I was also beside Kahn (to the right of him)
I think England is a wonderful place with all those castles and scenery. I think you would do the same sports as us and you might also play croquet too. I think England is crowded and noisy. I think your cars are small (how many Minis are there there?) See ya later. David.
THIS MESSAGE COMES FROM SIMON. I am the tallest in the photo and my hair looks like an afro cut.
I think Wigan is way more polluted than Whangarei (You say our town's name FUNG- a - ray). I think this because the cities are way bigger and there is a lot more people there. I think the people there are a lot different to us and so are there schools. Our school is mostly Maori and Pakeha (European) but I think your school would have a lot of just white people in it. Kia ora Wigan rulz in Rugby league because there are a lot of Kiwis in their team.
THIS MESSAGE COMES FROM TE MAURI (You say my name like Teh- Mow-ree)
I think yous have a pretty big school. I think you might drink a lot of tea. I think your uniform is a lot different from ours and that you have a good Rugby League team. I think England has a lot of beaches but I mightn't want to go swimming in them.
THIS MESSAGE COMES FROM KELLI AND MORGAN. I think that you would be nice to talk to and very posh. I think your school is very very big and that you have very tall buildings in Wigan. There must be heaps and heaps of people. I think your buildings are all very old and your streets are very narrow.
THIS MESSAGE COMES FROM RENEE. I think that all of your houses are squashed together and that you probably don't have any gardens or lawns (saves on the mowing!!) I think that you would spend a lot of time in town doing shopping and going to the movies. Because you live in England I think you must be all rich. I think that you probably don't have gangs. Do you have big farms? I think you have a lot of cool sports people. I think England is a really exciting place because there are heaps of big cities like London and lots of palaces and castles and you can go to lots of places from England.
THIS MESSAGE COMES FROM DAVID. I think England is a really tidy place and that they are really competitive in Rugby League. I think there are lots of hills. I think that a lot of your houses are old cottages. I think the people are pretty posh and talk funny (Yikes)....... I think that they dress in old clothes (like your ties and blazers).
THIS MESSAGE COMES FROM TASHA. I think most of England is big cities and that there is not a lot of countryside. I think you would have different cars to us. I think your school would be pretty strict and really different from ours.
