Hello to St John Vianney's of Brisbane, more classes from Caddies Creek PS, Winthrop PS of Perth, the Thornie rappers near Hornsby and Manor Vale PS of Werribee. We hope you enjoy rapping with us. It would have been an exciting time at Manor Vale PS recently. What fun to have such a great Olympic preview! I was at Punchbowl PS (in Sydney) when our school helped in the campaign to have Sydney made a contender to host the Sydney Olympic Games for 2000, and we had a gala sports day with Olympic visitors who were making the secret vote. The highlight of the day was when our Principal, who had a real English accent, dressed up as Queen Elizabeth II and was driven around the oval in a Combi van, doing a royal wave out of the window! Some students thought the Queen had really come to Punchbowl! That was a special memory our students and teachers will remember forever. Best wishes, <em>Mr McLean now at Penrith PS</em> Welcome to all our latest rapping schools!

Our awesome school has a large library with lots of books, Mrs Scheffers (Happy 21st Birthday Mrs S!!!) and a data projector with a SmartBoard. Miss Denzel is the lovely teacher of 2D and Mrs Alekna is the sensational teacher for K/6A. K/6A has a lovely playground which we have been lucky enough to share with them. It has slides, climbing equipment and lots of monkey bars. We also enjoy using the computers around the school in both our classes and in a computer lab. Later this year, we are looking forward to having some special visitors during Book Week. Last year, we participated in the Possum Magic rap and we enjoyed it so much we want to have fun participating in the Wilfrid Gordon Rap this year. Last week, we watched the DVD of Wilfrid Gordon which features Mem Fox telling the story to us. We also did an author study on Mem Fox and found out lots of interesting things about her. Everyone is feeling very excited about doing the Rap with you. We are looking forward to reading our fellow Rappers’ points of view.

We are a year two class from St John Vianney's School which is a bay side school in Brisbane. There are 28 children in our clase and an even mixture of boys and girls. We are doing the rap with our librarian, Mrs Boddington and our class teacher, Mrs Bednall. One of the lovely ladies that help in our school made a beautiful basket of all the things that Wilfrid Gordon collected. We love the story of Wilfrid Gordon McDonald Partridge.
