Hello Ms. Lockyer’s class!
We used your clues, our desk maps of the world and Google Maps to find you. We found two primary schools near Bull Creek in Western Australia. One was Bull Creek Primary School and the other was Oberthur Primary School. Our best guess is that your class is in Bull Creek Primary School, because you mentioned Henry Bull in your clues, and Bull Creek Primary is closer to the train station and the bridge. Are we correct?
Thanks for your clues! We had a lot of fun trying to find you. We took a break for lunch and recess, but will be writing our clues for you after that. More soon!!!

I think their in the U.S.A because the U.S.A has 50 states and all so I agree with you Marcus.
Are you in Ithica, New York?
Sorry, I mean Northeast Ithaca
are you in the u.s.a? because you mentioned you were in our past 12 hours.
Hello Mrs McDaniel’s second grade class.
I think you are at Northeast Elementary Schoolwhich is in Ithaca in the state of New York. Is that where you are?
I agree tom it’s at 425 winthrop dr ,ithaca
Are you in Northeast Elementary School at Winthrop Drive in Ithaca, New York?
I think you are at Northeast Elementary School in the city of Ithaca of New York state in the United states. New York state which capital city is Albany, is 12 hours behind us and on the northern hemisphere. You are in the United States as it has 50 States and your continent touches the Atlantic, Pacific and Arctic Oceans. Your city Ithaca is the home of Cornell University and is in the central part of the New York state. Lastly I looked at the map and found that Northeast Elementary School is at the southern end of one of the Finger Lakes and within walking distance to Cornell Lab of Ornithology and even shorter walk (about 4 minutes) to Dewitt Middle School.
