First day at school - reflection

HAVE a go at writing a poem or short reflection on your first day back at school.

At the end of the year it is interesting to re-read it. Bated breath, early morning Ready for a day of learning Lunch box packed, parent in mourning

Out the door, lickety split,

It’s the first day - where will I sit?

Excited whispers, nervous stares As we settle in our chairs The teacher’s here - will she be nice?

The class awaits, quieter than mice

Where did summer go? We ask, And then we focus on our task

Notebooks open, pencils scratch,

Time for recess, let’s play catch!

And the curtains close on another year,

A thousand more memories for us to hold dear.
