00:41 >> Like what they did over here.
00:43 >> Yeah, what they're doing over there.
00:45 >> We have our stage three events happening Monday through Friday.

01:12 >> Maker space.
01:13 >> With a balcony.
01:14 It's pretty cool.
01:17 >> Tiered seating.
01:17 >> Tiered seating.
01:18 >> For class.
01:20 And there's chairs and tables for doing your individual work.
01:27 There's cushions you can sit on.
01:28 >> So over here we've got our new learning hub that we've got lots of classes
01:36 and we've got three, four, five and six.
01:40 Five and six are on the top floor and three and four are on the bottom.
01:43 And we've got amazing new learning streets that you can go out
01:47 and do some individual work.
01:49 And we've got some new maker spaces that you can do science and art projects.
01:54 >> That's brilliant.
01:55 What's your favorite part of the upgrades?
01:58 >> We have new kindergarten buildings with maker spaces,
02:04 lots of toilets and colorful wallpapers.
02:08 >> I think the upgrades are really cool.
02:11 I think my favorite part is having the moving walls
02:15 so you can collaborate with other classes.
02:19 >> I think my favorite part is probably the learning street where you can get
02:24 in a group or by yourself and work without the noise and it's more spaced out
02:32 so you have more room for learning.

02:57 We finally have our school back and my students have the learning spaces
03:01 that they all deserve.
