Thread-Topic: Introducing Stage 1 students of Penrith Public School
Hello Possums!
We are a small group of Stage 1 (Years 1 and 2) students from Penrith Public School. We are from different English classes. At this school, we are in home classes and split up to have different teachers for English and mathematics.
Our school is on a busy main road, High Street, that passes through Penrith in western Sydney. Penrith is almost at the foot of the Blue Mountains.
Our main building had its 90th birthday this year so we had a Reading Picnic in the playground to celebrate. The building is the same age as Taronga Park Zoo, and 40 years older than "The Cat in the Hat". (We celebrated his birthday, too.)
Our school colours are blue, red and white and we have four core values: Learning, Cooperating, Respect and Environment. We can win Good Ones and Gold Certificates for following the core values and our school rules. There are 392 children at our school.
We are looking forward to reading "Possum Magic" and your rap responses with our teacher-librarian, Mr McLean. Most of us already know the picture book really well.
