School Subjects Text

My School Week

I study many subjects at school. On Monday, I have mathematics where we learn about numbers and how to add, subtract, and divide. My teacher uses many examples to help us understand. After that, I go to PE in the gym. We play sports and do exercises to stay healthy.

Tuesday is my favorite day because I have art class. We draw pictures, paint, and sometimes make sculptures. Then I have computer science where I learn programming and how to use computers.

On Wednesday, I study biology. We learn about animals, plants, and cells. It's very interesting! After lunch, I have geography. We look at maps and learn about countries and their populations.

Thursday starts with English. We practice grammar with nouns, verbs, and adjectives. Later, I have physics where we learn about light, sound, and how things move.

Friday begins with chemistry. We do experiments with test tubes and learn about different substances. Then we have literature where we read novels and poems. Sometimes we also have RE to learn about different religions and read parts of the Bible.

Some students also study economics where they learn about money and trade, or Chinese language. Others take media classes about television and newspapers. I like craft lessons where we learn manual skills like sewing or using a hammer.

Our form master teaches us once a week and helps with any problems. He says all subjects are important for our future!
