Our New School
Our school is going to be moving to a new property in January 2011.
At the moment the school hasnt been built, so we will have lessons in prefabricated classrooms for a few years.
They estimate that the building will take 2-3 years to complete.
Removal trucks will be arriving on 11th December.
This is what the architects have designed:
The Primary School (the left of the property) Ages 5 - 12
The High School (the right of the proprty) Ages 13 - 18
Miss Tyler-Smith and Aurora are Bento Mad!
Miss Tyler-Smith both love their Bento Boxes, they have the same two boxes in different colours and make a beautiful lunch for themselves. They show each other their lunches on most days and giggle at what the other shose to pack.
Miss Tyler-Smith is starting to feel very sad at the thought of saying goodbye to her Grade 5 children and is considering failing them all so she can have them for another year...or maybe not...

Growing Beans and Corn - Week 1
This term the Grade 5s are learning about seeds, how some seeds have two parts to them like beans, and are called dicotyledons, and others have one one part, like corn, and are called monocotyledons.
We have planted both beans, corn and seeds we found outside in the garden, and are going to observe them for 5 weeks to see how they grow. Wish us luck!
