Why I Think My School is Cool
I think that my school, Lynn Valley Elementary School, is cool because they just put the finishing touches on it. They built a new school, in place of the old one.
The old school just celebrated its 100th birthday, this year. Half of that school will be demolished, and the other half will be used, I think, as some sort of history museum. I think that the new school is very well done.
Our school is saving up to buy us a playground. For the past year, the primary kids, including Gr. 4, have been playing on what was left of the playground, during recess and lunch break. The intermediate students had to play on a gravel field, and if we were lucky, we got to play in the grass field too. Students played Ultimate Frisbee, football, soccer, and other games. I can¡¯t wait to see the new playground.
Our principal, Mrs. Blake, left us to teach at Larson. Our vice-principal and French teacher, Mrs. Clark, is going to teach somewhere in Coquitlam.
Lynn Valley School¡¯s band plays very well. In Jr. Band, we played a lot of pieces, including O Canada, March for a Festival, Bluesville, Louie Louie, The Slider, Pictures at an Exhibition, Bouncin¡¯ Baby Blues, and, Mission Impossible. I play clarinet, along with 5 other friends. Our band teacher, Mr. Bradshaw, gives us clarinets trios to learn and perform. We have performed Can Can, The Entertainer, and a lot more.
School, in my opinion, would be more exciting without homework.
