Room 7 this week

Hi Everyone.

We are well and truly busy! Our Inquiry is well underway and our proposals are being put together with a great amount of thought. Yesterday we visited James Hargest Junior to see their amphitheatre. It was fantastic for the chidlren to see the possibilities. We ran through a list of possible problems and solutions and health and safety issues.

I look forward to seeing the models and keynote presentations.

Keep up the hard work, reading and spelling everynight! Loving news team!
