A special delivery! 🐧

This morning we received a special delivery from Ventnor Coastguard. Whilst they were out on a search on Gurnard beach this morning, they found a letter in a bottle. It was addressed to the children at Gurnard Primary School. 

The children were excited to read the letter and found it was from a lonely animal. They worked out it was from a penguin. We were unsure where penguins live so we looked online and found out they live at the South Pole / Antarctica. We looked at a globe and a map to find out where he lives and to find out how far the bottle has travelled!

We decided we wanted to write back to the penguin so the children wrote lovely letters and drew pictures that we will put back in the bottle and send out into the sea.
