Hi Sally and Freddy!

I want to tell you about my school and my timetable. My school is great!

It’s a big school with four floors. There are 30 students in my class. They’re
all really friendly! My teacher is Mr Green. He’s funny!

We go to school five days a week here: Monday to Friday, from 9 a.m. till
3 p.m. We have a morning break, and lunch is at 12.15 p.m. We have to wear
a blue and white school uniform.

We’ve got Maths, Art, PE, English and Music. This year, we’ve got Science,
Computing, Drama and Geography too. My favourite subject is Art. It’s fun!
I enjoy English too. It’s interesting and I like to write poems. I like Music
because it’s creative, and so is Drama. I want to join the Drama Club!

My least favourite subject is Maths. It’s confusing! I don’t really like

Science either. My friends like PE, but I don’t. It’s hard. I find Computing
quite boring but I know it’s useful.

Finally, I love our amazing playground! It’s huge!

Tell me about your school!

Bye!
