Our Class - 5C (2011)

5C is awesome! We have the best teacher in the world called Mrs C. We are not a boring class because we do lots of fun things together. We are always laughing and enjoying life so it is pleasant to be around us. We can be serious when required so our teacher can educate us well. We are proud of our room because it is clean and tidy. It also has a really cool air-conditioning system. We are very multicultural. We love to learn about God and spend time in Chapel together. We have excellent classmates who are friendly and always willing to help out. We work together and care about each other. 5C is very creative and we love drama and music. We also enjoy playing sport.
