# A message from the Queen...

6 February 2019

[Alex Cotterill](https://www.grovevale.co.uk/blog/author/acotterill)

#### *Dear Year 1,*

####

#### *Thank you for inviting me to your school on the 10thJanuary. I was ever so pleased to be greeted by you all and able to speak to everyone. All of you were so very polite and welcoming.*

#### *I was very impressed by the number of different questions that you asked me and I understand that you wrote them yourselves. I hope that you enjoyed listening to the answers and learning a bit about me and my family.*

#### *Just to let know, I asked the servants not to open my front door too quickly so that I could see what colour it was. My car drives into a glass covered area, so I don’t get wet if it is raining, then I walk through the door, which has big glass windows and is brown.*

#### *I hope that you enjoyed your afternoon tea!*

#### *Kind Regards,*

####

#### *The Queen*
