Day 1
Queen Mary 2
Hello June Ave!
How has your first day of school been? It was very strange for me not to be there, greeting my new students. So what am I doing instead?
Did you know that I am on board a huge ship called the Queen Mary 2? It is a huge ship, about 345m long and 72m tall. We set sail yesterday from New York’s Brooklyn Pier. As we left the pier, we went under some bridges with only 4 m to spare! The musicians were playing fun music and waiters came around with beverages. We stayed on deck watching the New York skyline get smaller and smaller until we couldn’t see it anymore. Today when we woke up we couldn’t see any more land, just Atlantic Ocean all around us.
On board the ship there is sooooo much to do. We borrowed some books from the huge library. We went to the planetarium to watch a show about the universe. Tonight we will go to see a movie and perhaps listen to bedtime stories read by actors.
I hope you have had a good first day at school. I’ve been thinking about you!
Take care,
Mrs. McMillan
