A teddy bear and a Kangaroo trade places in an exciting new exchange scheme, writes jenny Benjamin
Saffy the teddy bear has been in Tasmania for several weeks now. Her hosts are the children and staff of Hagley Farm Primary School, Hagley, and it looks like she's going to have a great time. Her exchange partner, Skippy the kangaroo, has recently arrived at Saffy's home base, Katherine Semar Infants School in Saffron Walden, Essex.
Over the coming months, the two cuddly travellers plan to e-mail their friends back home every day with news of their exploits. They'll go home from school with a different child each night, so there will be plenty to talk about. With a bit of luck, they'll be sending digital photographs of themselves in front of the local sights and, eventually, they may return home bearing souvenirs of their stay on the other side of the world.
