About me - Term 3 Week 2

Hi my name is Liam, I am new at Parkvale School.  I have come from China, I have been in China for five years.  My mum's friend got a really good job teaching as a boss of a school and there was a space for my mum to go.  She was a teacher for a year 2 class, then after the 2nd year she moved down to nursery.  The children in nursery are the four year olds.  She taught there for one year and then went back to year 2 for another 2 years.  
The differences between my school in China and Parkvale is that it has a different name of course - DCSZ (Dulwich College - Suzhou, China).  In my old school we have 3 big buildings, one for senior school, one for junior school and a building for the youngest is called Ducks.  In my old school the football field is made of astro turf and not grass.  There are two playgrounds and they don't have the same equipment as here.  In China the playground has a big slide, some climbing nets and some monkey bars.  The playgrounds are a similar size.  
In China I didn't take a school lunch everyday, we used to have Chinese type meals like noodles with little bits of vegetables and meat.  I liked my home lunches better because I didn't like the school lunches as much.  
The best thing I like about Parkvale is that there isn't a big hallway to walk through to get to the outside.  I like the school lunches that my mum gives me and I love the chromebook and the fact that I have a blog!
