Dear Mr Hipkins,

My name is Jayce Lindstrom and I am writing to you about air conditioning in our classe. On hot days the heat just hits us and it just gets to hot for us.Also when we get really hot! The bugs fly into us and make us very itchy.So we can’t concentrate. We all love that you care about us and it would be even better if you cared about us just a tincy wincy bit more.

About our classroom-everything is great apart from the cooling.To get a little bit of coolness. Otherwise we get bitten from mosquitoes and sandflies. Which is very annoying.

So what are you going to do about all this. If you accepted this and did it that would really help us.




Yours sincerely,



Jayce Lindstrom.
