Rikki is in Istanbul, Turkey


We had a message from Rikki's new class today. He has been having a very exciting time. Dr Potaka left him with Miss Capun, a grade 3 teacher at the Istanbul International Community School in Turkey. He has been learning to say words in Turkish like
Mer-ha-bah: Hello,
Tesh - ehk-koor-ler: Thankyou,
Loot - fan: Please,
Eh- veht: Yes.
The children in Rikki's class are starting their Summer holidays for the end of their school year next week ane we decided that we would like Rikki to have a holiday in Turkey so he can tell us more about life there. We hope that Miss Capun chooses a student to look after Rikki and take more photos of him on his holiday. Then he could go back into Miss Capun's new class when they go back to school. Viv said she would email Miss Capun and tell her about our plans for Rikki. Maybe they will even add to Riki's blog from Istanbul.
Have fun Rikki! It's great to hear from you!
