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.
