My new school

All of the children have someone who picks them up after school. The teachers look after me until I am picked up. Some children might go home with their mum or dad or grandma or another person who looks after them. Some children might go to afterschool care and then get picked up from there and go home after that. Some children even go home on a bus.

My school has a special room called a library with lots of wonderful books.

I can take some books home in my library bag so my family can read them with me.

On the oval there is a lot of space to run and play games. 

This is my new school.  It is called Killarney Heights Public School.

There are school days, weekends and holidays. Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday and Friday are school days and Saturday and Sunday are the weekend days. You don’t go to school on the weekend or in the holidays.

This is the school office. Sometimes children take messages to the office. I would like to do that one day.

When I am going home I say goodbye and smile and wave to the teachers and the other children.

My school is very special because it is bilingual. This means we learn in two languages. Our teachers help us learn how to speak, read and write in English and French.

I eat my morning tea and lunch at school.

I eat healthy food to help me feel good and to grow strong.

There are tables and chairs in the classroom and a mat where all the children can sit to listen to the teacher read us a story or to help us to learn new things.

We learn about reading and maths and science and lots of things.

Sometimes I might miss my family while I am at school.

Some children might even cry a little bit because they miss their family but the teachers and their new friends will help them to feel better.

This is the principal. Her name is Mrs Tegg.

This is the principal&#8217;s office. The principal looks after all the children and the teachers at the school.

There are big kids at school. The children in year 6 are the oldest and they look really big. Sometimes some of these big kids can be your friend or buddy at school and help you and play with you.

This is the school hall where we have assemblies and sometimes sport, dance and other presentations.

I can ask my teacher to help me if I need help. My teacher cares about me and likes to know about me.

I have a school bag with my morning tea, lunch, and drinks inside. My name is on everything.

This is where I put my bag when I am at school.

I can have a lot of fun at school and learn a lot of things.

I might see some old friends there and make some new friends too.

I wear my hat outside to protect me from the sun.

We can also order lunch and buy other snacks at the canteen. This is Kasey. She will help you choose something yummy.

This is the gate where I go into my school.

This is the playground. It is fun to talk and laugh and play with my friends in the playground at recess and lunch time.

This is my classroom where I have fun and learn with the other children in my class.

I like learning the names of all the other children and they learn my name as well.

These are some of my teachers. My teacher and the other teachers will look after me while I am at school.

There are toilets at my school. The teachers teach all of the new children about where the toilets are and how to use them. I am glad about that because it is very important to know about the toilets. There are toilets for the boys and toilets for the girls. I always flush and wash my hands after I use the toilet.

I know how to do a lot of things at school because I have done them before.

I draw, paint, paste, count, play, listen to stories and sing songs at school.
