Chapter 7 Part 2 Second Day of School

Day 2 at May Road School Tuesday

I got up in the morning listening to the annoying sound of my alarm clock. I found myself reaching over to press the snooze button as part of my normal routine. After a few minutes my eye opened again but now I was awaken by the sound of screaming and shouting and I got up thinking it was an emergency. Soon I realised there was a whole week of school not just a day. In a hurry I dragged out my uniform out of my closet and got dressed. I headed to the bathroom and now was queuing in line. When I finally made my way inside the bathroom and in a flash finished brushing my teeth. I was nearly ready to leave now all that was left to do is put on my shoes. With one shoe on I hopped into the car. In a hurry I put on my other shoe and made our way to May Road School. I walked through the front entrance and made my way to the office and greeted Miss Lewis with a Hello and took off to my class for another day of school. Today we had a trip to Waikowhai Intermediate to see a show which we had no clue what it was going to be about. We had a journey and we went on foot and we found out it was about Anzac and the War. It was called Anthem (Our Tribute). I was really anxious to see the show as it was the first one I had ever seen. It started and everybody had quietened down. I love the acts which were performed and the different outfits worn by the characters in the production. I learnt a lot about War and thought about the sacrifice the soldiers made and made me feel grateful for our lives and thankful for the soldiers who lost theirs. There was a bit of romance in the play just tucked in. Later we walked back to school and in the middle of our walk it started with a drip and then it rained down and we waited under shelter as we talked and babbled. Then when the rain had calmed down and then stopped we made our way to school. After we had come back to school we finished our maths problem for the best deal. Another amazing day of school.
