Miss G went

Last week on Tuesday we had our teacher Miss G go to Melbourne with Mrs Tui to. They went with 21 other teachers from other schools around our area. They went to Australia because they went to learn how to make our school into a modern learning environment. 

While Miss G went we had Mrs Denny for our teacher, it was fun because we got to go swimming. My favourite part when got to do lots of P.E.
