THINGS I MISS IN MY SCHOOL

By Reeves Tien (Year 6)

Since the MCO started, I miss my school, SJIS. I miss everything about it. I miss the library the most as I always visited it before the MCO. All the books in the library are my best friends, but I miss the library most because I am a bibliophile (one who loves books). The number of books in the library has always impressed me and it has some interesting books I wanted to discover. I miss the tree in the courtyard: The feeling of throwing my weight onto the spiky grass to look up into the sky and reach the clouds with my hand; the fluffy moving clouds that make the building dance. The next thing I miss most are the kind and likeable ladies who cook us our delicious lunch. After lunch, they would tirelessly clean the pots and pans. And all of their hard work pays off when they see the students reorganise their own plates. This would always put a big smile on their faces. As our canteen is near the courtyard, I could often hear chattering, chanting and shouting from every joyful student who enjoyed their time on the green, syntactic grass. I miss my friends. I always go alone to the canteen during recess. Sometimes, I sit with my classmates and their friends or with my childhood friend, Rizqi. Then, I would go to the courtyard and sit in the shade of the tree. I would daydream until the bell rings. After that, I would line up with my classmates and go back to class. Lastly, I miss my classmates and my class teacher, Tr. Zul. He is one of my favourite teachers. Although he is stern, he likes a good laugh. He always says “I love my Year 6”. All of my classmates like Tr. Zul. They say he is the very best. My classmates are a playful bunch. They like playing instead of sitting still. Sometimes, they can be rough and end up making someone cry, “I want my mommy!”. Me? I don’t play often. During lunch, I prefer the peace and quiet of the library unless my house is on clean up duty. There, I have explained everything I miss in school. The End.
