Hello, This is some of my writing that I did at school about The History of Springston School.
The History of Springston School
Springston School opened in 1868. There was one classroom with fourteen children and the land that the school was built on was by Mr James Gammack.
When the district wanted to build Springston school the community had to come up with one quarter of the cost. In the 1800s the school children had to use syrup buckets as their lunch boxes. The children got to choose when they wanted to go to school, but when they didn't go to school it was because they ether had to help on their farm or go to the market and sell their crops or animals.
In 1956 there was a new Springston school which we are in now. So the previous playground got sold for housing and then of course there was a new playground built after that they decided to build a 13,500 gallon pool!!!
In 2014 Springston School got four new classrooms. And now have iPads, BYOD and a lot more technology!
So now you know the history of Springston School. Springston School used to be a small school but now Springston School is bigger and the population of the school is growing each year.

Hi Emily,
ReplyDeleteWell done on adding a link to the school blogs in this post. Very clever! You have written a good explanation and I can see each new idea in a paragraph. You have lots of detail about what life was like in the 1800s, Could you add more detail to the paragraph about Springston in 2014? What's life like at Springston School in 2014?
