Chapter 2 First day of class

According to the headmistress we were the most disciplined students because we ranked first in our class.

We get out of the taxi and the school gate and we were dreading the distance from the gate to where our new was at. We were walking and talking about what we did on the holidays and laughing and within five minutes we were given our class schedule at the office and off we were to our class.

Getting in class, everyone was silent and nervous. We waited for the teacher and at seven thirty she came in and she was with her kid.

"Hello girls and boys, I'm Mrs May and I'm going to be your new teacher u till you finish your primary school next year. I hope we will get along well, before we go any further introduce yourselves". Mrs May said

This guy stands up and by the way he is dresses, I already know he is the naughty one in our class, " I'm Sean and I was the last to be selected cause I'm naughty". We all laugh but the teacher remained silent.

Everyone introduced themselves and there were these striking twin boys who introduced themselves as Ben and Brian. At last I introduced myself and class began.

" Since it's the start of the year and we don't know what level of studying you guys are at, we are starting with a test to see where I need to work on and arrange you according to your test results", Mrs May

"Aaaaaaaaaagh Mrs May we just came in can you cut us some slack today we want to get to know each other", Sean said.

"No we are gonna have a test today and Em Jay distribute these test sheets and let's start writing everyone", then she went and sat on her desk.

Everyone was busily writing. We were given an hour and boom, "stop writing everyone time is up".

We were given time to socialist between ourselves while she marked and signed all the paperwork.

We knew it was the start of the school year so we were not gonna have any school work that day so we went home at one o'clock. School was out and we were waiting for tomorrow to start our war which is trying to understand everything the teacher said.

The syllabus wasn't changed in 2012 so primary school students still learnt only 4 subjects which were English, Shona, Mathematica and Content(content was a lot of subjects combined like history, food and nutrition, religious studies and so many more)
