Hi Kasia!
This is my school. It’s in Chelwood (a village near Bath) and it’s
very small! It’s great, but it’s different from Danny’s school.
I go to a boarding school, so we sleep in the school. We get up at
seven o’clock in the morning and get dressed. We have breakfast
at school, too! We start lessons at eight o’clock.
We have lunch at twelve o’clock in the canteen and then we
have more lessons.
School finishes at four o’clock but after school we do our
homework in the library. After that we have some free time and
then we go to bed. I like my school. My friends and I share a
room – it’s so cool!
