The School Tour

During the first two weeks of October we learned all about our school. We discussed the people who help us in our school, such as the teachers, the principal, the caretaker, the secretary and the cleaners. We toured the school on Thursday. We had great fun walking around the school and finding rooms we had never seen before.

Here we are outside our classroom ready to go for our walk. We had to remember to be quiet when walking in the corridor as other classes were working very hard. We did a great job walking quietly!

First we went into the secretary’s office. Our secretary’s name is Mary. She works very hard. She has a lot of folders in her office. She has a computer, a printer and a photocopier. She even has two phones!

Next we walked into our principal’s office. Her name is Ms Burke-Heneghan. She has so many books in her office. She says she has read all of them! She has lots of files in her office too. She must be very busy.

We walked up the stairs and found a room like a kitchen. Josie said that the room smelled like coffee! We looked around and figured out it must be where the teachers eat their lunch. This room is called the staff room.

Next we went into a classroom upstairs. There are lots of big girls in this class. It is called Fifth Class. The teacher is Ms McMahon. She is very nice and asked us our names. We sang a song for the girls in Fifth Class. They clapped and said we were wonderful.

Look at us walking down the stairs. We are holding the bar and walking so carefully. Ms Fox was very proud of us.
