At School 05
While we were taking photos in Area U, a Year 4 class walked through on their way somewhere. They started chanting spontaneously, led by the girls:
Go Geordie! It's your birthday. Go Geordie! It's your birthday.
It was quite something! It sounded really good with the whole class joining in. They said later that it's just something they do among themselves. It makes the person feel good. It certainly made us smile, especially Geordie.
