New School We will be building on to our school in 2005. The extension will be very big. There will be lots of builders and there will be scaffolding too. The builders will have a lot of work and there will probably be cranes, loaders, JCB's and tractors. There will be a huge roof and the builders will be laying blocks. They will be laying the floor aswell. There will be a lot of work going on and we hope it will be over in the summer. There will be a lot of people in the new school. They are building a new hall so if it is raining, we can do P.E in there. The wall in our classroom will be knocked down to make one big classroom. The new big school will be really good.
