Discover the journey of letters and postcards from one place to another, how they travel globally, and the importance of postal services, tailored for young learners.
Hi there! Have you ever sent a letter or a postcard? You’ll be amazed to know that they can travel very far, all the way around the world! Let’s break down how this amazing journey happens, step by step.
First, you need to write your message! You can use nice paper or a special postcard. Don’t forget to write your name and address on the front and the address of the person you are sending it to on the back.
Next, you put a stamp on the top right corner of your letter or postcard. A stamp is like a ticket that says you paid for your letter to be sent. Different countries have different stamps!
After you’ve written your letter, put it in a mailbox. Mailboxes are usually bright colors, like blue or red, and you can find them on the streets. When you drop your letter in, it’s ready for its journey!
Now, postal workers come to collect the letters from the mailbox. They carefully sort them by where they need to go. These workers are superheroes of the mail!
Your letter or postcard might travel by truck, airplane, or even by boat! It goes to different places until it gets close to the address you wrote. It’s kind of like going on a road trip!
When your letter gets close to the destination, it arrives at the local post office. Here, more postal workers help to deliver your letter. They will sort it out again so it can go to the right house.
Finally, a postal worker or mail carrier will bring your letter or postcard to the person you sent it to. They might even ring the doorbell or put it in their mailbox. When your friend or family member receives it, they can read your message!
Next time you send a letter or postcard, remember all the amazing steps it takes to reach someone far away! Isn’t that cool?
