My first day in Room 20- Some personal experiences

For our first piece of writing this year we all brainstormed about our first day in Room 20. Here are some of our impressions of our new class.

First Day of School, By Nadia Lee

It's the first day of school and I was positive that nothing is going to make this special day dull. The air was damp and moist and the sky grey, but my insides were sunny and bright...

The moment I stepped out of the car, the cold wind sailed past me, making me shiver. I quickly raced to the foyer. I tasted the familiar crisp air and smelt the smell of clean uniforms. I took a deep breath and started down the stairs.

I reached the Tio block, last year known as the 'Fireflies' community. I stared at it. It seems to give me an encouraging smile, despite the cold. I felt a familiar rush of warmth and excitement just like the day I stepped into Pohutukawa Bay last year.

Slowly walking into Room 20, a comforting smell of new ink, the blinding bursts of colour and the sound of pencils scratching on paper.

My excitement was contagious!


Room 20- By Daniel Wood

As I walked in to the room my heart was a time bomb. Boom, boom ... it stopped!

I slowly got tired, but bang! "Good morning class", Mrs Millett said with excitement.

It was like a sea of blue because of all 29 uniforms. I felt happy and excited.
