Australian student Chelsea’s first day at a new

school in Canada

Monday

It was my first day at school in Canada and I was very nervous.

The students were great but they couldn’t understand my English! The teachers
gave us a timetable. First we had a Math class. Then, we went to the science lab. It
was brilliant and I enjoyed doing the experiment. I think the Science class was more
interesting than the Math class. After Science we had a break and I met some
students from the after-school glee club. They sing and dance. They asked me lots
of questions about Australia and wanted to know my favourite pop group. After that,
we had two hours of PE. We played football but I didn’t play very well.

At lunchtime we went to the canteen. I ate a lot because I was hungry after football.
When we went back to class, we had a history test. The teacher was nice but the
test was difficult!

Before I left, I went to the glee club to see my new friends. Everybody was very
friendly and I sang a song. They all liked it! People here are friendlier than in my other
school!
