The PodBy Will C 3/4M
On Monday the 15thof September a
big white cube came to school on a
truck. It is called a PODS. This
stands for portable onsite storage. I
went to look at it and Mrs Bexley
told me that the ALL of the
equipment in the music and art
rooms needed to go inside the Pod.
Mrs Bexley asked me if I thought
everything would fit, I said yes it
would.
Mrs Taylor told me that the art
room and the music room are
getting nice new floors over the
holidays. I think that the new
floors will look very good.
