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.
