Our Class - 5M (2011)

5M is one of three Year 5 classes at William Clarke College. There are 26 students in our class. 5M is the best class ever because there is no fighting! We are all friends and work well together. We like to talk and laugh a lot! We have an awesome teacher called Mr M. We have special subjects like French, Japanese, Chapel, Drama, Music, Science and Library. Some of us are not keen on Maths but Mr M makes us do it!! The students in our class like playing sport on our huge school oval. We always sing happy birthday if it is someone’s birthday. We also have a new class clown each term!
