First Week Of School

Day one

‘Ring…ring…ring…’the alarm clock was getting louder and more deafening. I smacked the snooze button on the alarm clock and gazed sheepishly at the time. ‘What! It is already 6am! My school bus will be arriving in ten minutes time!’ I blurted to myself. Instantly, I jumped out of my bed and race through my morning routine. After a frantic race against time, I was just in time to board the crowded school bus.

In the bus, I noticed many new faces who are presumably secondary one pupils. They all looked very anxious and lost as they were trying to adapt to the environment of Victoria School. When I saw the looks on their faces, I smiled as they reminded me of my first day of school. Soon, we arrived at our beloved school and I walked slowly and lazily up the four long endless flights of stairs.

After the usual morning assembly, we returned to class for our Form Teacher Period. Our form teacher is the same as the one last year and we know him very well. He is Mr Ron Tan, a young and energetic teacher who is not only kind but also caring. In my view, he is like a potter and we are like his clay which he will painstakingly shape us into unique treasured pots.

To my surprise, I am appointed the monitor of my class again! I feel that it is a great honor to be the class monitor as it not only build up my leadership skills, but it also helps me to understand how to lead with both my head and my heart. Being a monitor, I also really wish to be a role model for everyone. Therefore, I must put in my 100% in everything I do. I must also be responsible and courteous to uphold the monitor’s badge.

Well, besides being elected as the monitor, nothing really special happened on the first day.

Day two

The second day of school actually marked a very special occasion for me. This is because, today is the third of January, and it is my birthday! Of course, I kept very silent about it, as I did not want my classmates to know about my special day. The second day of school was nothing really special. However, the school was quieter as ¼ of the school population was missing due to the fact that all the secondary one students were having their orientation camp outside the school.

During recess, I played soccer in the new school field. The feeling of playing on artificial turf was like heaven! There was no mud and it was just a perfect place to play outdoor sports and enjoy the fresh air!

Day three

Today is Friday, the day before a well-deserved weekend! During English lesson today, we learnt about how to make a blog. It was very captivating as this is the very first time I ever created one. I really had lots of fun creating my own design and choosing a good template that suits my taste!

In my view, I feel that we ought to be careful with what is written inside our blogs. This is because blogs are meant to be a personal diary to write your thoughts and feelings of events that happened. However, anyone can gain excess to a blog and read all your personal thoughts and hence intrude into your privacy.

Today, we also attended our first history and science lesson. During history lesson, we learnt about Singapore during the 1800s. I never knew Singapore had so much history despite the fact that it is a small young nation.

During science lesson, we discovered and ventured into the wonderful world of plants. Even though plants appear to be still and ‘lifeless’ at times, there is a lot of activities going on in the cell of the plats. It was an extremely interesting lesson!



Conclusion

In conclusion, the first week of school has been great so far. Not only have I gained new knowledge, I also feel challenged to work even harder to strive to be a better person, student and monitor!
