Published!

Were you wondering what the stories were behind those incredible Environmental Superheroes in the hall?  Wonder no further!  Today we are releasing three of their stories for your enjoyment.  If you would like to look at the hard copy, you can find it hanging from the wall in the school.

Water Girl - when the daughter of a mermaid gets bit by an evil robot shark she starts helping creatures of the sea and uses her new powers



The Mountaineer - a gripping story of a ski-bum turned environmentalist due to an unfortunate head injury


The Mountain Keeper - after getting cut by a special flower an ordinary groundhog/human gains powers to protect the environment from thoughtless visitors of Big White

Beware of the CandyCorn Bandits

Meet our CandyCorn Bandits in the hallway... if you dare!

Hello World!

We are now online after a month of settling in. This page will evolve and grow over time. Our students will have links to their own blogs as well as links to all sorts of other great sites. Our blogs will aim to showcase our work, promote our progress, entertain, inform and generally just show off our learning. Since you're here:  why not bookmark us right now? It has been a great first month. We have done a lot of really great things that hopefully you have already been told about. However, now that this page is up you will be able to see, read, hear, watch and experience our classroom happenings in great detail.  Welcome!
