Hi, Aunt Sally!
How are you? I’m having a great time! I can’t believe today’s my
third day at camp. Sorry I didn’t write sooner. There’s internet
that we can use, but only from 12–1 p.m. Then we have lunch.
Mum writes every morning, but I don’t always answer. There
aren’t many computers and we need to share them.
We usually wake up early, around 8 o’clock, but today the first activity started at
10 o’clock so I stayed in bed a bit longer. We went to the lake to go fishing this
morning. I loved walking there, and the fishing was OK. I wasn’t lucky, but a friend
of mine, Zak, went back to the camp with three fish! Here’s a photo of him.
We can do lots of sports, too, like tennis and volleyball, but I think art activities are
more fun. They’re in the evening when it’s cooler and we usually paint or draw.
Sometimes it’s more creative, like ‘learn how to make a monster with socks’. That’s
on Friday. I can’t wait!
How’s Uncle Tim? I think about him a lot because I play chess every evening. I can
play with him when I’m back! Zak is a very good player and he says that I’m not
bad. Oh! Zak’s from France and we sometimes talk in French. I want to visit him
next year in France. It’s time for lunch, Aunt Sally!
See you soon.

Fred Raymond talks
to Melissa Jones at
Wales Street Dance
(WSD), a dancing
school in Pembroke,
Wales. Melissa is a
teacher there, so let’s
see what she says
about dancing and
teaching.
FRED Thank you for talking to We
Dance magazine, Melissa. Tell us
about what you do at WSD.
MELISSA Thank you, Fred. I teach
children aged 12 or younger to
dance to different types of music,
such as street dancing, hip-hop,
pop and jazz. I’m the headteacher at
the school, but there are three more
teachers who help me. I really love
doing my job.
FRED What do you enjoy about it
most?
MELISSA With this job, I can
dance every day and learn about
new artists and types of music.
When I was younger, I danced in
my free time, but now I can do it at
work, too. But what I really love is
working with children. They’re fun
and very creative.
FRED You teach very young
children, aged two years old. Do
you like that?
MELISSA I’m very interested in
these groups. Dancing can help
children when they’re growing.
We’ve got ‘stretch classes’ and
‘baby moves’ and parents are very
happy with them. Their children are
stronger and healthier because of
what we do here at WSD.
FRED Great! And what do you
enjoy doing in your free time,
Melissa?
MELISSA My brother plays the
drums in a band and I like going
to his concerts at the weekends.
But I’m usually busy, so I don’t go
very often. When I’m on holiday, I
like travelling around Wales. It’s a
beautiful place

KIDS’ ZONE
Everyone who lives in London or visits it loves going
to Wembley Stadium.
You can watch some great
football matches there or see famous artists perform
live. But there’s another reason why Wembley is a
great place, especially for young children and parents.
Did you know you can celebrate your birthday there?
All you need to do is book your party online, by phone or
in person. It costs £130 and it includes:
• 90 minutes of games with a football
• delicious food and drinks
• special invitations
• a gift for the birthday child
• a birthday card and photographs
You can pay a little extra for a personal
coach, a birthday cake, party
bags and prizes for all the
children. For big football fans,
there’s a tour party package
where children walk around
the stadium for 30 minutes and
see the changing rooms and other
parts of Wembley.
The parties at Wembley Stadium are great for boys and
girls who love football. Parents will also enjoy celebrating
their children’s parties there because everything is
organised for them. No cooking and no cleaning after
the party! And don’t worry about space. You can invite as
many children as you want!
