School is really fun, here is some of our favourite things.
Mine is actually breaktime, because you get to run about and get peace from what you're doing.
Definitely going out to play because when you go out to play you get to play with your friends and I got a lot of friends to play with.
And my second favourite is… um… is PE.
And I like timesing, I know what 12 times 12 is… 144!
That's my favourite activity at school: reading.
Naughty boys, we don't like naughty boys,.
I show respect to all my friends I have. I show respect to the whole class, every boy and girl in the class.
My favourite place is the… hmm…
And my favourite place is the book corner, because it makes me calm and I get to read books.
The kitchen, because when I come past it I smell lovely smells.
