Dear Nick,

How was your weekend? Mine was great!

Last Sunday, I went to the Wetland Park with my parents. It took one hour to get there from home. There was a lot to see and do in the park. We visited the galleries to learn moreabout wetlands. We also watched some interesting birds. I have never watched birdsbefore. Before we left, my mum bought me a T-shirt at the souvenirshop there. It was awonderful day!

Best wishes,

Polly
