Subject: This Is My School!
Attachment:

Hi!

How are you? I go to Liverpool Primary School. My school is small and old. I go to school with my brother at nine o'clock. We wear a blue uniform. 

We study English, Maths, Science, Design and Technology, History, Geography, Art, Music, PE, IT and Spanish. We don't study French. My favourite subject is Spanish!

I eat my packed lunch in the dining room at a quarter to one. I eat a sandwich and fruit. Then, I play with my friends.

I go home at a quarter past three with my friends. We say goodbye to Sally, the lollipop lady. 

What about you? Can you describe the characteristics of your school?

Bye!
