Hi everyone,
I’m sad to say that I will not be back next school year.
On June 30 I will return home to Australia.
I have enjoyed helping you to learn some more English.
Also, I would like to thank Teacher Jenny and Teacher Eva for helping me in our classes, Principal Cheng and Director Tseng for their support, Nurse Pandora, Moon and May for their friendship, and other staff members for making me feel part of the school community.
Good luck with your studies.
Do your best! Fly high! Be happy!
Teacher Greg.
On May 15 our school sang at the English Song Contest. Everyone did a very good job and our performance was a big improvement on last year. Even though we didn't win an award, we can be proud of the efforts of everyone on putting it all together. Well done!!! Many photos can be found here: http://picasaweb.google.com/gregqbear/GregAtTaiAn2006To2007#
It was a fun time with many mothers there to celebrate with us. Every class wished their mothers a “Happy Mothers’ Day”.

April saw the official opening of the new school building. Nobody was worried that we moved in earlier. It was a cold day, a windy day, and almost a rainy day. Still, everyone enjoyed it, especially the drummers.
Congratulations!
Everyone had fun flying their planes. Some went up high. Some went in a circle. Two went upstairs. A few went into spins. Some were fast and some were slow. Some didn't even go. The furthest flights for each class were: 3a David and Steven 3b Tweety and Kevin (16.7 m) 4a Kim and Helen (11.9 m) 4b Maggie and Scott (15.8 m) 5a Jenny and Frank (21 m) 5b Laurie and Peter (16.2 m) 6a Hank and Jim (18 m) 6b Mike and Amy (10 m) Well done!!!
