Tyra's first school visit story

This is Tyra's story of her first morning visit to Porritt School.

"They have no beds, they have a hall and six toilets. I have a pink homework bag". Friends with Anne's help asked Tyra about her visit, she said "put your hand up".

Isaac asked Tyra "what did you go on (playground)?", Tyra replied "nothing, we played off the playground, it was a senior playground that I played off".

Jasper's question was "where did you go, what did you play?" Tyra commented, "only three people went (visited the school), we played on nothing".

Maia asked Tyra "what did your class room look like?", to which Tyra answered "it looks like Jahna's (Tyra's older sister) school, you think her school".

These friends are sharing their understanding of primary school with Tyra's new knowledge.
