My First Day at School I opened my eyes, stretched and suddenly remembered today was a very special day. My first day at school. I'm home now getting into my uniform. Mum is making me scrambled egg for breakfast, as a treat. I pulled up the last wrinkle in my tights and then stomped upstairs. I ate my breakfast, cleaned my teeth and climbed into the car with Mummy. It was only a ten minute drive to school, we had spare time so we stopped at the local shop to buy a treat. We drove into the car park adjacent to the school. I was overwhelmed by the size of the school but it looked impressive. We got out of the car and walked the short distance into reception. Mrs Cool welcomed us into nursery and accompanied us into the classroom. I had butterflies in my stomach and it was churning around like a washing machine! Mum told me to go in but I had a panic attack. I clung onto her leg and would not let her go until a teacher peeled me off. But it didn't stop there, I had a plan. My plan was to run out to mum but i had to be fast or else she would be gone. Go, go, go ,go, I ran out of the door and raced to the car before mum had a chance to leave. I jumped at her and she took me in her arms, gave me a big hug and said better luck tomorrow!

THE MENACE I opened the door slowly and wisely, fearfully and mercifully . The ancient hinges swung open onto a soggy damp ground . As i stepped onto the fleresent green grass my feet dissolved into the soft soil. My hands trembled with fear as i wearily stepped like a ballerina quietly over the ground of the vast deserted football ground. The lines suddenly lit up and a sawed appeared out of the ground........... It was lined with shimmering diamonds which was bursting with light as the sun came up. A moving figure came floating towards me , it was a scroll and it said come to me now Rebecca

THE BOYS POINT OF VIEW. School in ancient Athens is great. We learn the subjects of the following: math, poetry, music and singing. I get up very early in the morning to go to school. I enjoy school very much but my sister doesn't because she doesn't go. Only boys are allowed to go to school. Only rich boys go to school if you are not you don't. LEARNING TO WRITE I have been going to school since I was 7 years old. We have been taught the greek alphabet. We don't have books to write in instead we have wax tablets.We write on this with a sharp metal pen. the pen is hard to use because we have to push it through tough waxxxxxxx! MY SISTERS POINT OF VIEW My sister doesn't like me going to school because she think that she should get an education too. Instead of going to school, I do housework and learn how to weave, sew and cook. I do this with my Mum. My brother goes to school in the morning, very early but I'm glad in some ways that I don't go to school because I get to stay in bed a little longer! My brother does work on his wax tablet but he says it is quite hard to write with. He then does Mathematics, poetry and music. He has been going to school since he was 7 years old and continue until he is 15. After he finishes schooling, he may spend a year in the Army but if the family is richer then he might go to the sports academy. MY VERY FORTUNATE BROTHER!!!!!!!!!
