Lainey’s Response


Here is one of my first letters to Aarav. I wanted him to get to know me so I did up this chart showing all of my likes and dislikes as well as information about me and my family.


Why not try one out yourself?


Pen Pal Letter Starters Dear Arrav, Here is some information all about myself. I’m in Sixth Class. The name of my school is Kerrypike National School. My teacher’s name is Mr Hartnett. My favourite subject is Music because I love to play the guitar. What I like most about school is yard time because we get to play rounders. What I like least about school is when it rains because we have to stay inside. A typical day for me at school includes reading, writing and Maths. Our home is The Laurels, Kerrypike, a red and white dormer bungalow. As a family, we like to go on daytrips and have picnics. Our favourite family vacation is Center Parcs.


My favourite room at home is my bedroom because I have some peace and quiet. My neighbourhood is full of kids like me and we all meet at the local GAA pitch.


If my family could live anywhere, I would choose Australia because the beaches look cool. Three words that describe my personality are creative, energetic and kind. My hobbies include horseriding, art and tae kawn do. My best friend is Ella because we get on well. After school, I usually chill out before I do my homework.


I think that Christopher Reeve is a real hero because he helped others who were disabled. My favourite sport is football because I like playing as part of a team. The one TV show I never miss is Spy Kids because I want to be a detective. My favourite book is The Twits by Roald Dahl because the tricks are hilarious.


My plans for the future include travelling around the world and learning about other countries.


Author's Intent Why do you think the author called this book Same Sun Here? Why do you think the author chose to write this in letter format?
