However, despite these activities igniting excitement, it was our legacy project that we enjoyed the most. We were introduced to our very own German pen-pals all the way from Dusseldorf! We wrote to our pen-pals and told them all about ourselves and our school. With anticipation, we awaited our reply but sadly we were left with the impression that they became lost in the Christmas post. Luckily, earlier this week, we received an exciting parcel filled with our letters all the way from Germany! We were absolutely over the moon and some of us even received German money and food! We cannot wait to reply to our new pen-pals and we are so excited that we have made friends from a different country! --- ### Penpal Letters [![](https://files.schudio.com/thepalmeracademy/imagecache/720x720s/gallery/25100/IMG_1089.jpg)](https://files.schudio.com/thepalmeracademy/images/gallery/25100/IMG_1089.jpg) [![](https://files.schudio.com/thepalmeracademy/imagecache/720x720s/gallery/25100/IMG_1091.jpg)](https://files.schudio.com/thepalmeracademy/images/gallery/25100/IMG_1091.jpg) [![](https://files.schudio.com/thepalmeracademy/imagecache/720x720s/gallery/25100/IMG_1092.jpg)](https://files.schudio.com/thepalmeracademy/images/gallery/25100/IMG_1092.jpg) [![](https://files.schudio.com/thepalmeracademy/imagecache/100x100c/news/Year_2_visit_from_the_Queen.png)](https://www.thepalmeracademy.com/news/2019-01-18-a-royal-visit-for-year-2) Previous ### [A Royal visit for Year 2](https://www.thepalmeracademy.com/news/2019-01-18-a-royal-visit-for-year-2) [![](https://files.schudio.com/thepalmeracademy/imagecache/100x100c/news/image4.jpeg)](https://www.thepalmeracademy.com/news/2019-01-22-year-1-theme-for-the-term-dinosaurs) Next ### [Year 1 Theme for the Term - Dinosaurs!](https://www.thepalmeracademy.com/news/2019-01-22-year-1-theme-for-the-term-dinosaurs) ### News & Events - [News](https://www.thepalmeracademy.com/news) - [Upcoming Events](https://www.thepalmeracademy.com/events) - [Newsletters](https://www.thepalmeracademy.com/news-events/Newsletters) - [![Absence Reporting Link](https://files.schudio.com/thepalmeracademy/images/partners/1(1)_(1).png)](https://www.thepalmeracademy.com/absence-reporting) - [![Accelerated Reader](https://files.schudio.com/thepalmeracademy/images/partners/2(1)_(1).png)](https://login.renaissance.com/12d2ca4f-6beb-4887-82ee-ddfbdb0b88d4?state=145e0c43-7ae1-46eb-a2d3-c9224036ffb3) ##### Location 70 Northumberland Avenue Reading Berkshire RG2 7PP ##### Contact Us 0118 9375481 ##### Stay Connected - [X](https://twitter.com/R2PalmerAcademy) - [Youtube](https://www.youtube.com/c/ThePalmerAcademy) © Copyright 2015–2026 The Palmer Academy School & Trust Websites by [ ![Schudio logo](https://www.thepalmeracademy.com/img/logo/light.png) ](https://www.schudio.com/)
