Winton School

Winton School has over 270 students from year 0-8. There is 12 classrooms, a hall and a library. Winton School has more than 15 teachers. Winton School is cool and has heaps of room to play. The main topics are English, maths, reading, writing and topic.

In the morning in some classes there is maths, handwriting or English. Whatever the class is doing in this time it goes to 10:30. On a Thursday some teachers do a basic facts test. A basic facts test can either be a 2,4,5 or 6 minute test. Some basic facts are times tables, addition or subtraction. For handwriting the teacher puts a letter or a poem on the whiteboard that the class needs to copy into their books. English is when we learn about putting commas in the right or adjectives, verbs and other things like that.

In the afternoon most classes have topic. Topic is a subject when you learn about things you wouldn't learn in maths, reading or writing. Sometimes classes do P.E or art. P.E stands for physical education. Sometimes teachers send kids for runs or take us for a game such as T-ball or long ball. At 2:45pm school is released and everyone gets to go home. On a Friday there is touch and it can be played by boys and girls. Some people do other activities such as swimming, netball and rugby practice. Or some people just go home and do homework.
