PagineGetting ready for the first day of term. A free Pagine Original early-reader story.
Tomorrow is the first day of term. My new uniform hangs by the door.
Mummy polishes my black shoes until they shine.
In my school bag: an exercise book, a pencil, a ruler and my lunch box.
In the morning I wash, dress and button my shirt — all by myself!
At the gate, my teacher, Mrs Bello, says, “Good morning, Musa!”
At assembly we sing the national anthem and say the pledge.
In class I write my name in my best handwriting. I make a new friend called Ife.
When Daddy fetches me, I tell him everything. I can’t wait for tomorrow!
The End.
