Describe your first day at school. You should say: When you first went to school? Where was it? What happened? And explain how you felt on that day? Well, talking about my first day at school, it was quite long time ago, but I still have clear memories of it as I expect most people do. The first day at infant’s school for me was in September 2006, I was five years old, which was the standard age for kids to begin full-time compulsory education in our area. There weren't many schools in my home town so I went to the one nearest to where I lived, about one and a half km away. It was and still is called Fairfields, and it's still there to this day. The building wasn't very big and it was quite old but it felt very comfortable and friendly. Of course on the first day, there was a lot of administration to be done so parents and children all gathered in the playground at 8:30 am and we were ushered in. While my Mother dealt with the paperwork I was taken into the assembly hall where the headmistress gave a talk about the school and which classes we'd be in. Once the formalities were done all the kids were divided into groups of about 20 and taken to their form rooms where we met the teacher. I really can't remember my teacher's name, she was quite young I recall and seemed extremely kind and amiable. I imagine this was to make us feel less nervous about being away from our parents for the first time. To be honest, there were no real classes on the first day, to begin, we had to introduce ourselves to everyone, we were all given some educational games to play. Later in the morning, our teacher read a story for us, the time went quickly and suddenly it was lunch time. In the afternoon we did some painting and then looked at a book in the library, school finished for the day at 3 pm after prayers. My mother came to collect me and that was it. Naturally, I was pretty scared of starting school but it was ok, the staff made me feel reassured and overall it was an extremely nice introduction to school life. Needless to say, as time passed we had the usual lessons like maths and English but there were still lots of fun times like I had on that first day.
