Sarah's Blog -- Starting School

Hi everyone, it’s Sarah. I just finished my first week of school here in Dubai. It was great. Although, there’s some funny story’s too.

Alexander and I go to the same school but, the middle school and the high school are on a different campus to the primary school (where Alexander is). I also started a day early.

On the first day I caught the bus form the primary school to the high school but, the taking the attendance took forever and we were 12 minutes late. After we meet our homeroom teachers we got our lockers (mine smells like someone left their P.E. shoes in their locker all year) and our schedules we had English and Cultural Studies, Cultural Studies was really fun. Our teacher was really funny and we had to do a poster on our beliefs and values. Our teacher told us to leave that in our lockers until next class. So I left that day and I double checked that I had packed everything because there were papers that had to be signed. Nope, all that was there was my paper for Cultural studies. So I got home and I wanted show mum my timetable. I looked in my bag . . . It wasn’t there. Neither were the papers. I had left my timetable, homework book and papers that needed to be signed underneath the paper that was still in my locker! Oh No!!!

So the next day I catch the bus and we were 5 minutes late. I went to homeroom. That day I had Math, Arabic, Double period of Science and Computer Technology. Math was fun; my teacher looks like Jeff the Wiggle. Arabic was ok. Science was awesome! Our teacher is really cool, and in IT we learned about the great technology breakthroughs. That was really it for my second day.

On Thursday (the end of the week) I walked into the bus waiting area and I looked at my bag. Uh-oh. My locker key wasn’t there. I had left it in the car! I ran back out to where mum was parked. Luckily she was there and I got my locker key. The rest of the day was pretty uneventful.

So that’s my first week of school in Dubai. Bye!
