High School Induction Days

I told you I would write back and tell you all about the three day visit :).

10th June- Today was my birthday! I was really excited in the morning and woke up jumping up and down on my bed happily. I shoved on my school clothes. We had too wear our primary school uniform because the rector wanted too recognize all the schools. My sister had done my hair and make-up for me but she got really narked when I kept smuding my eyes. Then eventaully she got it right. My Mum came in and gave me a hug and said Happy Birthday. So did my little brothers, well my little brother Bilal’s birthday present was a punch but the bruise will bring back memories. Then about ten past my Mum took me and my sister too school. I was shaking in the back seat. My Mum gave me £2.50 for my dinner money. Then when we eventually got there I stepped out the car not knowing which way too go then I saw some other people walking by that were in my class so I just followed them. Then when everyone else came we all started chatting. Chloe and Jaydean had gotten me birthday presents which was really nice of them. Jaydean had gotten me make-up and a card and little teddybear. Chloe had gotten me these goggle thingies that make you go too sleep and a suga babes poset and a card. Thank you guys :). Then eventaully Miss Keane and Mrs Vass vame along with the white booklets and we got them and went inside the school. We had too go in the assembly hall where Mrs Buchan came in, (The head of Skye), and then she started talking about stuff and then the rector came in and we had too stand up. Then we sat back down and then he started too talk and told us there was no such thing about people getting their head flushed in the toilet and that rumour had been going on for hundreds of years. He was right aswell because nothing happened. Then ur prefects took us too our first lesson which was CPD. Craft and design technology. The teacher talked and then showed us all the other Craft and Design rooms. Then our prefects took us too the assembly hall and they gave out juice and crisps. My tummy was sore so I never ate much. Then we had too get our prefects too take us to our next lesson which was Science. We went inside and our teacher showed us what too do. It was putting gas in this tube thing and light it up and it makes a flame. It was really intresting and we had alot of fun. The weird bit was putting on goggles, they made you look like a fish. HA! Then our prefects took us back too the assembly hall where Mrs Buchan gave out our young scot card. She gave us a dire warning if we lost it. When we had gotten our cards everyone rushed too put money on them. The line was huge so I went too the hub too put my money on and then I went too the max and had got a pasta king with tamato sauce and 5 alive blackurrant. I sat in the hub and ate there. When I had finished I hanged around with my friends and then when the bell rang we went back too the assembly hall where Mrs Buchan was. She said that we would be doing activities. Lewis, Harris and Skye were split up and went too different activites. The first one Lewis had was a ”fashion show”. It wasn’t a real fashion show it was just showing you what the appropiorate thing too wear. Then we swapped over and Lewis went too and Eco school ting and showed you a documentary thing about being eco and then we swapped over agian and our next thing was Games activities in the gym hall. I had a really sore tummy so i had too tell a teacher and they took me too the nurse. They were two girls and they were really nice and kept me company and at ten past three we had too go back too the assembly hall. It was really embarrassing because everyone was sitting there and when I came through the doors some people stared at me. AUGH! Mrs Buchan came and talked too us and then eventaully she let us go home. Phew! When I got home my Dad had gotten me a laptop and Ainsley came over with chocolate and a card. Thanks Ainsley and Dad!

11th June- I woke up in the morning and got ready agian and then my sister did my hair and we went too school about ten past eight. I was really tired but I was glad i didn’t have a sore tummy. Then when we got there I saw everyone else at the statue so I walked over too them and talked. Then the bell went and we had too go in the assembly hall and sit down. Then Mrs Buchan came too the stage and said this would be a very busy day. My first lesson was P.E. Our prefects took us too the hall where our P.E teacher told us what we ould be doing when we are back at the school in first year. Then he told us too go get changed and he showed us where the changing rooms were. It was really embarrassing getting changed infront of everyone. Then everyone went outside too do P.E. We were doing soft ball and it looked quite easy. We were playing agianst another class but my class batted first. I was rubbish at batting and was out quickly. Then when we swapped over i was still rubbish. Then we had too go back inside and get changed. Then our prefects took us too our next lesson which was Home Economics. We sat down around a table and our Home Economics teacher showed us how too make fruit cakes. When they were ready they smelled great! She gave everyone one as we went out the class. Then our prefects took us back too the assembly hall and we went outside for break. I hanged around with my friends and when the bell rang we came back inside. Then we followed our prefects too our next lesson which was Art. We sat down and our Art teacher took the register and then she told us too take a pencil out. She told us we would be going too another class for Art where the other teacher would show us Art stuff. We went too the other class and everyone gathered round the table but I coudn’t see. It didn’t really matter because I had a really sore tummy and evetaully I told another teacher. She told me too wait till we were back in the class and when we were back she marked me in her register ill. A teacher took me too the nurse and then the nurse phoned my Mum. The teacher went and got my school bag and stuff. Then eventaully my Mum came too collect me.

12th June- I woke up like usual and got changed and blah dee blah. I had took some medicine before I went and took more in my bag just incase. Then my Mum dropped me off and then I hanged around with my friends and then we went inside for the first bell. Then Mrs Buchan talked and then other teachers talked and then our prefects took us too our first lesson. Home Economics. Our teacher had told us we were late so we never had enough time too cook so we just played games fo the whole lesson which was still fun. Then we had followed our prefects too our next lesson which was Maths. Our teacher told us too sit down and he gave us Maths cross words and word searches and stuff and he gave us colouring sheets. Then we had too follow our prefects back too the assembly hall and we went outside for our break. I had tooken my medicine at break by asking Mrs Buchan. Then we had too go back in the assembly hall when the bell rang and our prefects took us for our next lesson which was English. We sat down and waited for our teacher and when she came in she talked about what we would be doing in first year. Then she gave us jotters and we had too write our names and what school we had went too and a bit about us or what we were up too or where we would be going in our holidays. Then our prefects took us too our next lesson which was our last lesson, History. We went inside our classreoom and then our teacher came in and moved us too another classroom and we sat down. She talked about World War II Which was quite easy because we had already did that. Then she told us questions and we had too write down the answers. Then our prefects came and took us too the assmebly hall and then from there we had went too lunch. I had gotten a bagguette and 5 Alive blackurrant. I ate the bagguette which was great! Then I had gotten a slush puppy and went outside and hanged around with my friends. Then when the bell rang we had too go back inside. Our last lessons were activities. Lewis stayed in the hall and saw a drama act on bullying then we had swapped over too a hall where they showed us stuff about TALENT. Then we sawpped over too our last one which was Games Hall activities. Then we went back too the hall and Mrs Buchan said that she was excited about seeing us in August and then we went home.

I can’t wait till we start high school!
