Konnichiwa Room 5. Eddie desu. Gommenasai.

I am sorry it has been so long in writing to you but Mrs Luke has been really busy and it takes too long to type by myself especially since I have no fingers.

The students here at school are having parent interviews and are also preparing for exams. Mrs Luke has to help them to prepare and also has to write a first year exam, so she has been busy.

There have also been typhoons so school has been cancelled and changed around and all kinds of crazy things.

So I have been staying home a lot as it is scary to be out in a typhoon when you are as small as me.

Tonight I am going to a place called Nakamura for an English Camp. Mr and Mrs Luke are going as camp teachers and they will work with students who are on an international course. The students are only allowed to speak English at the camp or else they get put in camp jail. Mr Luke is the Chief Police Officer so they had better watch out.

Each camp teacher has a team and I am in the Buzzy Bee team, named after me. We wear only yellow and black. Mrs Luke is my leader. We have five students in our team and I am the mascot.

We also have a tambourine to play our team song. We will be playing lots of English games including some you already do in New Zealand.

On Friday we will have warm up games, like scavenger hunt and making a tv commercial. On Friday night we will have a camp fire, unless the typhoon comes along, and we will sing songs. That will be really cool.

On Saturday we have aerobics in the morning with Mrs Luke, and then we play in an English Village, perform our commercials in front of the others and then leave the camp. I can't wait.
