We went to the Tour de France in Ax les Thermes. We saw Cadel Evans. Georgia (my friend from Australia), Kian and I all had BMC hats on. We met Emma and Georgia (from Fairfield) there. Then the giving out vans came.
They gave out lots of stuff like key rings, wristbands and hats. But we put most of it in the bin. I kept saying "is this a bike race or what?", and then the bikes came. I felt excited. The helicopters were going above us and then the bikes came.

We also went to the end of the Tour de France in Paris. It was fun, but the mountain stage was better. The vans did not hand the free stuff out this time. The bikes rode around the city 10 times. They went down the Champe Elysees, around the Arc de Triomphe and back again.
I thought it would be more fun because it was the last time. Chris Froome won the race. I was very tired but I still loved it.

Looks very exciting.
Lucky you being given a wave by Cadel Evans.
Looks nice and warm where you are. It is very cold here.
Keep smiling,
Kaz
Hi Kayla and Kian - How wonderful that you were able to go to the Tour de France - some of the kinder children had been watching it here on television. Your fireworks photos were amazing too. The children wanted to tell you that the furniture in the kinder room has been changed around and that you will get a surprise when you come back. We have been learning about flags and we saw the French flag on our poster. The children also wanted to say that they hope you are having a good time and are looking forward to seeing you when you get back. Oh Essendon vs Carlton in a couple of weeks.... We have been listening to the footy team songs on our kinder head phones - I was a bit cheeky as I said it only worked on song number 8 - the Bombers song !! Bye for now - lots of love, Miss Sue
Are you impressed - I worked out how to put my name on instead of anonymous !! Love Miss Sue
Hi Kaz,
It was very exciting, especially when Cadel Evans
waved to us!
It is very hot here and we are just about to go for a swim!
Love Kayla
Hi Miss Sue!
Mummy says good work on the figuring out how to put your
name in instead of anonymous!
I like how you tricked the kids and said that the bombers song
only worked - that's the only one I'd want to listen to!
Love Kayla
