Making our Christmas cards

We made cards this week.
Here we are working on them.
We are posting them tomorrow - Wednesday.
We hope they reach you before Christmas.

Some of the cards are very interesting because of their design.

Some have pop ups inside.

Others have wonderful illustrations.

Every card will come with a letter or a message that will say how we celebrate Christmas.

We hope you like your cards and the messages.

Russian friends and their favourite fairy tales

Hi again!

Here are two more pictures of us. But not all the students of our class were at school that day when we took the pictures. So in some days we'll add the pictures of all the rest. You know we all had your Ted at our homes but we didn't guess to take pictures at our homes. Usually Mrs. Chernova does it. So all our pictures are taken in the school.

Here in the place we live in there's a lot of snow already. It's real winter here! And sometimes we take Ted for a walk and he likes to play snowballs with our boys!

Hope to hear from you soon!

Ted and the students.

Hi our dear friends from England!

Here we are, your Teddy Bear and friends from Russia!

In the first half of November we had our autumn holiday so we couldn't add something to the blog. Now we are going to put here some pictures of ourselves. You can see us in the hall of our school. All the walls are painted with the images of children's favourite fairy tales. Can you see the three little pigs? We know that they are from the English fairy tale and all little children in Russia read this tale and like it! On the other wall there're some charactors from the old Russian fairy tale "The Pumpkin". But it's a pity you can't see the full scene from the tale!

How is Ruby! Whom is she visiting now?

We are almost ready to send you our packet of the Christmas cards to all of you. We like this holiday very much!

Love, your friends from Russia.

Ruby`s time with Ieuan Lavender

Friday

On Friday Ruby and I went to Oxtalls Tennis Centre and played tennis. Ieuan had Lasagne and chips for tea. Then we went to Kingsholm rugby ground to watch Gloucester Rugby Football Club take on the Ospreys. Gloucester won 28- 16.

Saturday

On Saturday my relatives called Elizabeth and Roger Meadows came from Dover. My Mum Tina, my Brother Haydn and I went shopping in town and bought an iPod for my brother for christmas. That night we had a few different types of curry with naan breads, bhaji`s, samosas and rice.

Sunday

I went to my cousins christening in Wourcester ( Fladbury ), but unfortunately my cousin wasn`t very well. I read a poem called `In A Christening` while we were around the font. Afterwards we went to Fladbury Village Hall for a savoury and sweet buffet. Then we went to the Teddington Hands pub where we had to sleep on Friday 20th of July 2006 because of the floods. Then we went to Gloucester docks and had a hot dog on the VIP boat.

Monday

On Monday morning before school I played on the Playstation 2 on Fifa 08. After school I went to Abbeydale Community Centre and played darts.

Tuesday

On Tuesday morning I played on the Playstation on cricket 07 and had ready brek for breakfast. In he afternoon I got in the car for a long journey to Bristol Hippedrome to watch Joseph and his technicolour dreamcoat. It was amazing!!

Wednesday

On Wednesday I watched television until I went to school. In the evening I went to `Purpose`, our church childrens band. We had a great time.

Our native town of Moshkovo

Hi, our dear friends from England!

It was so nice to read about your place and watch the pictures of it! Thanks a lot!

Today we are going to tell you some words about our town. It's called Moshkovo. It's not very large only 10 thousand people live here. Moshkovo is near the third largest city of Russia which is called Novosibirsk. It's only 50 kilimetres from our place so we visit it very often.

Today we'd like to send you some pictures of Moshkovo. They are our chuch and our railway station.

We think it's very interesting to watch other places!

We hope to find some pictures and letters from you in the blog!

Best wishes from your Russian friends.
