My First Day at Big School

My First Day at Big School

Wednesday September 6^th

I am 4 years and 9 months old and I started proper school today. I had a lot of 

clothes to put on and it’s hard doing up my shirt buttons but Janice always says, 

‘Practice makes perfect.’

I facetimed Daddy to show him my uniform and he said, ‘Who cut your hair?’ 

then I facetimed Bethan and she said, ‘Oh, wow! You look so smart, so grown-

up.’

Barry took photos of me in my school uniform then Mummy and Janice took 

me to school. It was very exciting. Lots of mummies and daddies were there and 

lots of people took photos. I had lots more photos taken with Austin. He's new 

to my school but we've had a couple of play dates and I'm going to look after 

him.

Some of the children cried. I didn’t.

When the bell rang we all lined up in front of our teachers and said our school 

prayer and went into school.

I had to put my book bag in the box and my blazer and cap on my peg. There’s 

a basket for my plimsolls and a special place for my wellington boots. My name 

is everywhere!

All the children look different in their school uniform.  We all look very smart 

but our clothes are quite big. I knew lots of the children from pre-school but 

some children have come from other pre-schools.

My teachers are nice but there are only two of them in my classroom. There 

were lots in pre-school!

I stayed for tea at school. I had a sandwich and I made a friend who likes cars but 

I don’t know his name. He’s not in my class. Janice picked me up because 

Mummy had to go to work. I had a good day but I was tired.
