__Our Library __ (these are ScreenShots of our School's Library in Sketchup and placed powerpoint)  We wanted the Library to be a place the students could come to read, relax and enjoy the quietness. The desks are there for the older students to work on and the tree and mini garden is place there for relaxing and give the sense of tranquillity. The walls are green because the colour green is meant to clear the students minds, and keep them calm.



__Our Roof Top garden __ The roof top garden is a place where students can go to relax even though the Library is also used for this purpose but some students don't find the idea of the library relaxing and don't like entering it. We have placed the garden on top of the roof because we did not have enough space to have a normal garden on the field. Kids can go up there and enjoy the garden and look at the worm farm.To make the atmosphere more relaxing we have put wind chimes in the trees for a southing sound. It is a big open area that takes up the whole of the roof with safety walls around the edges. The way you go up there is through the front door. There is a small flight of stairs that extends all the way to the roof.

 __ Our class rooms __ Starting with the walls our in our 1-3 classrooms are very unique and different, they each have a different wall pattern that make them feel like their growing up and achieving something when they move to a new classroom the next year.



__The year 1-3 classrooms__ Are set out so the students have lots of space to move around and learn. They have a long snake like bean bag to sit on when they are listening to the teacher in class, that would make going to sit on the mat more fun. The floor is linoeum which is good for arts and crafts. The room is clourful and fun so that is seems welcoming to the students. There are chairs and round tables so they can sit in groups and do their work.  <span style="display: block; font-size: 14pt; font-family: 'Arial Black', Gadget, sans-serif; text-align: left;">These are the year 1-3 classrooms <span style="display: block; font-size: 14pt; font-family: 'Comic Sans MS', cursive; text-align: left;"> (on sketchup)

The seats are set out so that the children can watch all that happening and there are bean bags at the back of the classroom so the students and have more fun in the classroom by moving into a place of their own. The floor is linoleum which is good for arts and crafts.

=**The Chill zone**= This is a room for the older students to use (year 6 to 8). It is a place for them to go and sit and take a 'chill pill'. It is nice because they have a hot chocolate machine and a fridge. We trust they will use this class room respectfully and will not graffiti or discrace the room. We hope they like it. It has a slide and a hammock for if they want to sit and take a nap. There is a really big loud bell in the room that goes five minutes before class starts so if they are sleeping they will get a big wake up call. The room is themed, when you walk in, you walk into the forest themed room. It has trees and hammocks. You can choose to go to the dessert themed room or the underwater themed room. In the dessert themed room there is a cammel and it has a slide from the top or the spoungy seats. In the underwater room it had a glass floor with water underneath it so it feels like you are in the water. The students are only allowed to eat in the jungle themed room, the dessert and underwater themed room is used for studying and just cruising only.
