We have now got a new school, we got our new school last year in July. Our school is really big and has a great gym hall. We have better school lunches and a nice dinner hall. We also have water fountains that you can fill up your water bottle with,the water is really cold and clean. It is great!
We have just got a new topic, we don’t know what it is but we do know that it has got something to do with the future. So far we have made a family for the future called the Anderson family that live in the year 2087. This is us working on it.
We have started looking at newspapers to find stories that we find interesting and then we type them out on the computer or write them on paper in our own words. We have already looked at the Madeleine McCaan story and put it on our news board outside our classroom. We have a map of the world that we tie a piece of string to where the story happened. You can see part of our map here.
We have got new computer as well with something called photo booth that you can go into and take photographs of your self because all of our computers have small cameras on them.
A new pupil council has just been voted, there are two secretaries and one pupil council member. It was a secret ballot. The pupil council can give their own or other children’s ideas to the teacher about what we could do to make the school better or more active. This was us voting.
There were also people voted for the eco school committee.The people that were voted can give ideas to the teachers about what they think the school could do to help the environment.The ideas that have been given so far are bringing in old mobile phones or ink cartridges to raise money that we could spend on things that could help the environment.
This year we have got a smart board that is an interactive white board that you can touch to control it. We also have a projector that we can use to project movies that we watch onto it so that everybody can see it.
There is an environmental garden that our school has made, each class has planted different plants in their own part our class has the biggest part since we are the oldest.
A football pitch was also built along with the new school, it is made of golden grit. We don’t have good football goals but we are going to get them soon. Each class has a different day on the pitch,our day is on Monday, primary six’s on Tuesday and so on until Friday when primary three are on the pitch.
Our class started monitoring this year, five people monitor on Tuesday and every other day apart from Monday. No same person monitors two days a week unless somebody is off and another person has to fill in for them.
