Our Favourite New Teachers
Lucas
My favourite new teacher is Mr. Davis. He teaches maths. I used to hate numbers, but he explains everything so well that it is easy to understand now. He has short dark hair and always wears a smart grey suit. He also wears round glasses because he cannot see very well without them. He is a funny person and tells great jokes in class. We always laugh a lot. Other teachers are sometimes very serious, but Mr. Davis is different.
Emma
Miss Brown is our new art teacher, and I really like her. She looks fantastic! She has curly hair and she always wears bright red and yellow dresses. Her personality is wonderful, too. Art is hard for me, and I often draw things badly. But Miss Brown is very calm. She never gets cross if I make a mistake. She just smiles and shows me how to fix it. We are going to paint a big picture for the school hall together next week.
Toby
I love sports, so my favourite new teacher is Mr. Clark. He is our gym teacher. He is young, very strong, and always wears a blue tracksuit and trainers. He never sits down during our lessons. He loves running around and has so much energy! Sometimes we feel tired, but he always shouts, 'Come on, you can do it!' The best thing about him is that he teaches us to be good friends. He says it is important to help each other in team games.

"No Uniform" Day at School
Liam
I love "no uniform" days because I can show my real style. I usually wear my grandfather's old shirts and jackets. He gave me a big box of his things. I like them because I don't have to buy anything new, so I keep my pocket money! My dad works in a modern clothes shop, but I prefer older fashion. I always need an hour to decide what to put on in the morning. I like looking completely different from everyone else in my class.
Chloe
For me, clothes are all about fun colours. I never wear black or grey. I like bright red and yellow because they make me feel happy. I usually buy cheap dresses and then I paint pictures on them or cut them to make them shorter. It is a great way to show my ideas. I often help my friends choose their clothes too. When I finish school, my dream is to start my own clothing company. I want people everywhere to wear my designs!
Noah
I play a lot of basketball, so I always wear sports clothes when we don't have to wear our school uniform. It is important for me to wear things that are comfortable and easy to run in. I have a large collection of baseball caps and basketball shirts. They show everyone which sports teams I love. My best friends and I often buy the exact same trainers. We think it is really funny to walk into school wearing the same shoes.

11 A - Reason: Liam says "I always need an hour to decide what to put on in the morning".
