Some of the monitors were out helping all the little children. It was an amazing sight. I loved seeing everybody so happy. I went into the classroom and saw a few boys eyeing the dingbat quite literally. It was two words, one on top of the other. The one on top was\u00a0<em>touch<\/em>, the other was\u00a0<em>Earth<\/em>. The solution was guessed by Max, it was \u2018Feeling on top of the World\u2019, which I was!<\/p>\n<figure class=\"Image Image--left \"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"Image-content\" src=\"https:\/\/www.stpaulsschool.org.uk\/assets\/img\/illustrations\/_illustrationSmall\/1st-football.jpg\" alt=\"1st-football\" \/><\/figure>\n<p>After that we went out for morning break and played football. We lost 2 -0 but were interrupted by the bell\u2026playtimes go so quickly!<\/p>\n<p>We went inside and did a timed times tables square. I got 11:28, (faster than last time) and it was good fun. Soon it was lunch time. I wasn\u2019t used to the dining hall but it was really nice and the pods we have to go to are really cool. I had beef with roast potatoes (I counted roast potatoes as vegetables!) which was delicious, followed by dark chocolate and vanilla cake and a bowl of cut-up apple.<\/p>\n<p>After lunch we had my favourite lesson: Art! We were given our PAJs, aka Personal Art Journals. We did a drawing of two bottles in different positions. When I was drawing I felt as if I was already a professional artist.<\/p>\n<p>Then Miss Bartlett told us about the value this week, which was Friendship. \u201cYey!\u201d I thought, \u201cThis is going to be easy!\u201d Next, our form monitors handed out our English books for creative writing. Everybody mumbled, but I smiled. This week we were doing character descriptions of mermaids, dragons, giants or genies. I chose a dragon. I felt proud when I finished it because it was better than my first story which had only one line of description.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"Image Image--right \"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"Image-content\" src=\"https:\/\/www.stpaulsschool.org.uk\/assets\/img\/illustrations\/_illustrationSmall\/SPS_1141.jpg\" alt=\"SPS 1141\" \/><\/figure>\n<p>In Geography we made mind maps of what we already know about rainforests. Miss Bartlett let us draw pictures and put facts in them. It was frustrating because I don\u2019t know much about rainforests but it was still fun, and by the end of term I will know a lot more!<\/p>\n<p>The last lesson of the day was music, which was a quite funny lesson because we had a funny teacher called Mr Waterson. He doesn\u2019t look funny but he actually is. My favourite part of the lesson was when Mr Waterson made a funny joke about Quentin jumping off the piano.<\/p>\n<p>At the end of the day Miss Bartlett told us our homework and gave our handwriting books out. I felt really good because I had enjoyed a whole four days at St\u00a0Paul&#8217;s Juniors already and it had gone really quickly.<\/p>\n<p>St\u00a0Paul&#8217;s Juniors Boy in 1B<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>After I finished my bowl of cereal I packed my bags and thought of one of my best friends from my old school \u2013 a few tears and sniffles but then I remembered I was going to school at St\u00a0Paul&#8217;s Juniors!
