Email lesson plan

[ghoti_mhic_uait]

So, I have to do an email lesson (or two) with my reception group. (Yes, Bean, I do have one in mind already). The teacher really wants me to email a real person outside the school. In the past, they've emailed Postman Pat (not a possibility anymore) and the Queen (for her Jubilee, so no longer appropriate). 

 We could email the Bishop to say thankyou for his recent visit (I just had that idea), but I bet they've made cards already.

 So, do any of you have exciting people (for 5 year olds) that you can think of that we can email, or alternatively, do you have a Kindergarten/Reception class that's dying to contact a class in England?

But you don't get to email Postman pat, just the 'postman pat website'.

Perhaps you could ask for the parents' emails, and the children could email their own parents?

Lazy Town characters? I have absolutely no idea what that would entail, or bring truly honest even what Lazy Town is, I just seem to see the logo on every piece of children's merchandise from here to Dundee.

Hee. To be fair, you have more restrictions than "Teach eighth graders something."

Could they mail a famous book author? I don't know what all the cool kindergarteners in England are reading these days, otherwise I'd be more helpful.

Or, better yet, my mother is a kindergarten teacher, so if you wanted an e-pal, you could probably do it with her class.

They're a bit young for everyone interesting/famous I can think of, unfortunately, but I can ask some US-based teachers on my f-list if you want?

Also, try looking for CBeebies people on the web (I often use answers.com) rather than on CBeebies. For example, Sarah Jane Honeywell from Higgledy House:

Christ Jarvis has a myspace:

Eva Alexander left CBeebies in 2006, so perhaps not her, but she has a website and email info@evaalexander.com <info@evaalexander.com>
