On Friday the 18th November 2016 we had our annual Anti Bullying day. To mark the day we release hundreds of balloons into the sky, with a small message attached to the balloons in order to promote anti bullying.
To our surprise, a day later we received an email from Manjana who lives all the way in Germany, telling us she had found a balloon in the forest near the little town called Oldenburg in lower Saxony, Germany.
Now it didn’t stop there, we started receiving more emails in the days to follow from other people living in Germany, Finland and the Netherlands, check out the messages below (kept the spellings & grammar the same to preserve their authenticity) some even have images.

Hello everybody,
I was very happy last Sunday (20.11.2016). I found in our garden a blue balloon with the note (see pictures) in our garden. The balloon has made it to Leer, a small town in the north-west of Germany.
I am 10 years old and would like to know when the balloon was sent.
Many greetings from Leer to London,
