[Readiscover07_rap] Introducing Year 3 rappers at Penrith PS

Wed Aug 8 21:16:46 EST 2007

Hi Rappers,

We are in Stage 2 (Year 3) but we are in different home classes.

Our main building was made in 1917 and this year we celebrated its 90th 
birthday. Our school has 400 students and the principal's name is Mr 
Jackson. Mr McLean is the teacher-librarian.

The playground environment at Penrith Public School is excellent! 
Students can play in many places, such as the grassed area across the 
road, the asphalt, the Passive Playground near Rainbow Cottage, the 
climbing equipment, or they can go to computer club, or read and play 
chess in the library. We have chalkboards in the playground, three 
shade shelters, a COLA (covered outdoor learning area) near the 
canteen, and a basketball court. The new assembly hall is behind the 
COLA. The library is in a long, portable building and has lots of books.

In the playground we sometimes see pigeons, magpies, huntsman spiders, 
stick insects, flies and bees. On National Tree Day, we planted a 
waratah near the old school bell. Some of our plants do not need much 
water, such as the pig-face and native grasses. Our school environment 
is important to us.

Most children come to school in a car, but some walk or catch the bus. 
One of us travels on his Dad's bicycle, which has a little covered 
buggy at the back.

We look forward to talking about the environment in this book rap.

Your new rapper friends,
Year 3 students of Penrith PS
