The Important thing about Halswell School

Last week we finished our inquiry - 'Schools Long Ago'. To end the inquiry we looked at what was special about  Halswell School and what we wanted to have in our new school.  We  used 'The Important Book' by Margaret Wise Brown, as a model for our writing.  Read below to see what we think is important about our school.

The important thing about Halswell School is we learn every day.

There are no bullies.

We have got nice teachers.

We care about each other.

We have iPads for learning.

We learn how to read and write.

But the important thing about Halswell School is we learn every day.
