Dear Daisy，
Phew! I’m so glad the day is over. I’m really tired, but my first day at school went well.
First of all, we met outside the school building. I was very nervous because my primary school only had 300 pupils but in the middle school there are about 1300. What a difference! The older pupils are really big. I felt so small waiting there in front of the school.
The head teacher came out and told us to go into the school hall. Then he called our names out to tell us which class we were in. My class teacher is called Mrs. Black. She took us to our classroom. It's on the 5th floor. We aren't allowed to use the lift! I couldn't believe it.
We spent all morning with Mrs. Black looking at our timetables. Everyone in the school had a different timetable. I'm worried that I’ll forget my timetable and go to the wrong room.
Lunchtime was OK. I had salad, fish and fruit, which was quite good, and then I went to play football with some of the other boys. They were all friendly and I don't think it will take me long to make friends.
After lunch we started lessons. 1 had maths and then history, where we started to learn about ancient Greece. That looked interesting. 1 have to do some homework tonight to find out how the ancient Greek people lived, so I’m going to do an Internet search and look it up in the library.
So far so good. I am quite looking forward to tomorrow, even though I’ve got science. I hate science!
Yours,
Jason
