Building at STA

It may be the holidays but lots has been happening at Steven Tito Academy. Since our school only opened last year we are still building so that we can get more students. We are also making a garden so that we can grow food to eat. We think it is important to learn about the environment and how food is grown. Food tastes better when you grow it yourself!

Our toilet building has recently been painted, on the outside and inside. It looks great.

 Wanstead High School students from London came and visited the school. They painted the inside walls. Thanks Wanstead!

The New Classroom
Thanks to a very generous donation we have also been able to start work on a second classroom. With the new classroom we will be able to have more students attend STA next year. We can't wait until the classroom is finished.

We are also soon going to have a new pre-school classroom. We'll keep you posted on the developments.

Greening the School
We are starting small but aiming big! We have planted some cow peas and flowers in a small area around the flag post at school. With some help from friends, we will also be building a garden, with a fence to stop the cows from getting in an eating all the plants. We hope to start the garden when we get back to school in a few weeks.

Kids from the Baobab Home, a children's home on the site of the school help with the planting.

Questions:
1. Design a new building for your school (maybe a library or a new classroom). Make it the way you would like it. Be creative!
2. Count the buildings in your school? How many do you have?
3. Which room is the biggest in your school? How will you figure it out?
4. Which buildings do you think are the most important in your school? Why?
