My first day at school

My first day at school

We had to write a recount about our first day at school.

I’ll never forget my first day at school in Mr. Simon’s Grade 4 class. Waking up excited and jetlagged, wondering who is in my class. Arriving at school nervous. We were about to enter the unknown, this place called “school”.Arriving in class a huge lad stood in front of me. Nerves vibrated through me, I was about to faint of fear. Mother's skirt felt far more secure as I gripped at its folds with nervous fingers, not daring to look past my mother. He put his hand out I was even more scared. I'll never forget his cold comforting handshakes. Then the bell rang, kids were streaming into the classroom. I recognized some of them, some of them I did not. I was extremely excited to see my friends. A smile spread across my face. My friends were interrogating me why I wasn't there on the first two days school.

I'll never forget my first day at school.
