Read their writing.

It is time to say goodbye to the school. In September, I will enter Secondary One at a new school.

When I entered Primary One, I was not happy. The schoolwork was too difficult and there was too much homework. Also, I was not good at sports. Luckily, the teachers were very kind.

They saw that I was unhappy. They talked to me and helped me a lot. Some teachers even helped me after school.

Now I really love my school. I will miss my classmates, my teachers and the school next year.

Peter Chan (Class 6B)

I came to the school two years ago. I entered Primary Five when my family moved nearby.

I like this school very much. The computer lessons are interesting and the teachers are helpful. I am able to spend a lot of time playing football, my favourite sport. I have also joined the school football team.

Finally, I look forward to making new friends and having new experiences at a new school.
