Going back to school

It's back to school time again! For some of you, the schools have just started or about to early next week. Many of you are likely feeling excited to get back to school and perhaps a bit sad that your summer vacations are now over. Some children also feel nervous because it will be the first day a school, with new teachers. In some cases, your section might have been changed too, and thus you will have a new set of friends to make. Luckily, these reasons for apprehension are very temporary.

On the first day, usually teachers start off the school year by introducing themselves and helping children introduce themselves. She would talk about what you will be doing for the rest of the year, and provides a bit of an orientation. She might also involve the class in an activity to let each child tell about her /himself to the rest of the class.

Your teacher might also introduce you to the class room rules about what you should do, and what you should not. Pay attention to all these, and ask should you have a question.

If you are in a new section, this is a great chance to make new friends. Another reason to be excited about while going back to school are for your new set of books, notebooks, craft material, new shoes and uniform, your new school bag and so many other things that you will be carrying now.
