As I strolled along the deck on the ninth of February,I saw about 60 wooden desks in 10 rows.I slapped myself across face. Nothing happened or changed.I slapped myself again but this time really hard.But still nothing happened."What do the teachers have stored for us today'' I pleaded.Then Mr Robertson and Miss Gordon came in dressed in clothes that were only sold in the olden days.Mr Robertson was wearing a old fashioned suit that was in magazines at least 100 years and Miss Gordon was wearing...um what ever that was called.I thought ‘Oh my god, dinosaurs probably have better taste'.

Miss Gordon was standing at an old lectern at the front of the room and was ready to read the roll.”Jaweria” Miss Gordon asked.”Yes” I replied and the roll went on and on and on.Then we did the notices and the national anthem.”The first row please get your handwriting books” Miss Gordon said strictly.Then the next row and then the rest of the classroom. ”Now do your handwriting exactly as or better than Miss Gordon” Mr Robertson recomended. Then we did our dictionary skills.The dictionary skills were easy because we just had to write words that started with the first letter of our names.After all of the children finished we had to read a story by Shakespeare called Macbeth.After the teacher said we were doing Shakespeare. I literally wanted to pull out all my hair.We had to memorise one line from the whole story.Piper and Olivia said there lines out loud to everybody.We read the basic facts out loud that were on the old fashioned producter.

Ding!Ding!Ding!  went the morning tea bell.Finally I thought, freedom.But I was wrong.Again.”Go and get your morning tea” Miss Gordon ordered.Row by row everybody got their lunch boxes and sat at their desks.When Mr Robertson said bite, everybody had to bite.Most people didn’t even finish their morning tea.Then came the horrible part.All the kids had to go outside and Mr Robertson taught us how to march.I really hated that part I mean who would have liked it.Then Mr Robertson and Miss Gordon organised us into play groups and in every group there was one hula hoop or skipping rope. I didn’t like that we couldn’t play with our friends but Isabella was in my group so it was alright.It was now the end of morning tea and everybody went inside.After a while the teachers came out and were dressed like themselves.It was just a prank!
