Kate Scott. Year 11
The best days of your life?
It was such a big day, but I don’t remember very much. It’s like an impressionist painting: shapes, colours, and smells and sounds too. But I was only five years old and it was a long time ago!
I walked to school with Mum and I cried all the way.
I didn’t want to go. I had a blue rucksack and a big new box of crayons. The playground was full of noisy, excited kids. Some of the children looked huge - I never knew that I was so small! Then a bell rang and everybody stopped running and went inside. How did everybody know what to do?
The walls were yellow and there was a horrible smell of soap everywhere. My teacher’s name was Mrs Bell. (‘What a strange name!’ I thought.) She wasn’t very strict In fact she was really nice, but I didn’t understand a lot of the things she said that day. Terms, timetables, registers, cloakrooms ... What did she mean? And why was her voice so loud all the time? It was very strange.
I don’t remember what we learnt, that day. I think we sang songs and clapped a lot. Mrs Bell read us a story and we sat cross-legged on the floor. I was embarrassed because I didn’t know how to do it! There was also an aquarium with ugly fish in it - another horrible smell.
‘So, Kate, were you a good girl today?’ Dad asked me later.
‘I don’t know!’ I said.
‘Was it fun?’
‘No! And Mrs Bell said that we have to go back tomorrow!’ I wasn’t very happy.
‘Did you make any new friends?’
‘Yes, I did. I think ...’
‘Did you learn anything useful? Numbers? Colours?’ ‘Dad! Why are you asking me all these questions?
Didn’t you go to school?’
