Thank you so much for the DVDs you sent me for my birthday. I watched “The Incredible”

yet.
I got some great presents. Mum and Dad gave me a stereo, so I can listen to music in my room.
Joanna gave me a pen. If you press a secret button on it, the pen becomes a radio. It’s really cool.
Ellie didn’t buy me a present this year because she hasn’t got much money. I don’t mind not getting a
present from her, she’s only five.
On my birthday, we all went to the Sea Life Centre in Brighton. It was really interesting. We saw
a lot of different animals but the most exciting were the sharks. Have you ever seen a shark? They’ve
got really scary eyes.
 That’s all for now. I’m going to watch one of the other DVDs this afternoon. Thanks again!
Love,
