In Andrea’s Class we have been drawing and chatting about moving from St. Waleran’s. It is a big change for everybody and we needed to talk about it! We read the book “The Huge Bag of Worries” and just then our lovely new teacher Chloe came to visit. We all agreed she was really nice!!!Here are some of the questions we asked:
- Will there be a playground?
- What will we see when we look out the windows?
- Will there be whiteboards?
- Will there be toys?
- Will Raymond bring the Green Box?
- Will there be grass?
- Will there be trees?
- Will there still be a Green Committee?
- Will the tables and chairs be the same?
- Will our new teacher be kind?
- Who will be teaching groups?
- Will there only be one door to go in and out?
- Will it be just like here?
- Will there be any squirrels?
- Will there be speed ramps?
- Why can’t we stay here?
- Will there be another school here?
Some things we feel a bit sad about are:
- Saying goodbye to Matthew and Kathleen
- Saying goodbye to Andrea & Teresa
- That we won’t be able to use the lift!
- We will miss our playground at St.Waleran’s and the squirrels!
- We will miss all the different trees
- We will miss our prefab
We feel excited about:
- Having stairs
- Having bigger classrooms
- Meeting new friends
- Singing with our new teacher Chloe
- Being back with our friends from Fiona’s class
- Rolling down the hill in our new school (!!)
- Having different types of playgrounds, not only grass…It will be easier to play hula-hoop games and skipping on a hard playground…and maybe basketball.
- Not having leaks in the roof.
- Having interactive whiteboards like the one Simon showed us one day!
- Having more computers and the internet in our classroom.
- Seeing what all the new teachers will look like
- Not having to go outside in the rain to get to group work classes
- Still having assembly together
- Maybe doing shared reading or a project with our friends in Andrea and Chloe’s classes
