  1. Whole school information meeting / PfA Annual General meeting 27.9.17

  2. After midnight, the enormous lonely iron giant climb on the cliff. He stared out of the water, he didn’t move a bit and the wind blew through his fingers like a trumpet. He still stared at the water splashing on the cliff. He had not seen the sea before. He needs to be happy but he is lonely. Why are there no iron man like him? He thought. Maybe they disappeared like dinosaurs. He wanted desperately to take a bath in the sea so he lifted up his right foot and stepped in.
