I get up at 7.30 a.m. The first thing I do is go downstairs and get my breakfast from my Mum. Sometimes I have toast or cereal but for a treat I have croissant. Today it was cereal (coco pops) with a drink of water.

Once I have had my breakfast I go upstairs. I brush my teeth, wash my face and put on my school uniform. I have to wear light blue t-shirt, a royal blue jumper with my house badge, black trousers and black or white socks. I also wear black shoes.
Most people go to school by car but I walk. I take two minutes to get to school. I have to cross two roads. I wave to my Mum or Dad when I walk on my own. School starts at 8.55 a.m.

When I get to school I drop my books in class and my teacher takes the register. Next I go to assembly. Today it’s Mrs West; she read us a bible story. We finish assembly at 9.30. a.m. Our first lesson is maths, it is my favourite lesson. Today we learnt about sequences. The lesson lasts an hour and finishes at 10.30 a.m.

We then have a break for fifteen minutes. I usually play football on the Multi-Use-Games Area (MUGA). We have a snack at break time. I usually have a chocolate bar.
After break we have English. Today we looked at punctuation using speech marks. The lesson finishes at 12.05 p.m. We then have lunch.

For lunch I have sandwiches, usually a roll with ham but sometimes cheese. I also have crisps, grapes and a drink of apple juice.

We get to play on the yard after lunch. We usually play tag. Occasionally I act as a buddy looking after the younger children. Lunchtime finishes at 12.55 p.m. We then return to class for lessons.
The teacher takes the afternoon register. Our first lesson in the afternoon is history. Today we learnt about the Stuarts. This is interesting and fun to learn about. The lesson finishes at 2 p.m. We then have a five minute water break before our last lesson of the day. Today we did art and learnt to do perspective drawing. This is another of my favourite lessons. This lesson takes us to 3.00p.m. when we have a class story. Today our teacher read us a story called “Blitzed”.
School finishes at 3.10 p.m. when the bell sounds. Our teacher takes us to the gate where I meet my Mum and walk the short distance home. Today however I had football training for the school team. We practice our skills and then have a match. Training finishes at 4.00p.m.
Back at home I have a snack and watch television for a short while. I then prepare for more football training with my local team Borras Park Albion. We train every Tuesday between 5.30pm and 6.45 p.m. We play our matches on a Saturday morning and usually win.

When I return from training I have my tea and a bath. My favourite meal is jacket potato, tuna and beans.

After tea I play on my games console. It is interactive and I can play children from other countries. I have lots of games including Mario Cart and FIFA 09 football. At 8.30 p/m I have some supper usually toast or a potato cake with a drink of water or a hot chocolate.

I then go upstairs about 9.00p.m. and clean my teeth before getting into bed and reading for ten minutes. By 9.30 p.m. I am usually tired and go to sleep dreaming about football and my favourite team Manchester United.
