Teachers' Day
One
day every year, we celebrate Teachers' Day in honour of the teachers who spend
so much time teaching us so many things.
This year, Teachers' Day
began with a school assembly in the hall where the headmaster delivered a
speech. After that we adjourned to our
classes, not to have lessons, but to enjoy ourselves.
My classmates gave a small
party for the teachers who taught us. Each of us contributed a small sum of
money to buy cakes, drinks and other titbits. On that day we arranged the chairs and desks so that they
surrounded an empty space in the middle of the classroom.
So began a round of eating,
drinking and playing games with the teachers. Most of the teachers were very
sporting and we thoroughly enjoyed ourselves. It was so different from having
lessons.
The other classes gave
parties too. So the teachers had to move from class to class and participate in
the fun. I would think that this was quite tiring on the part of the teachers
but they managed it. After all it was their day to enjoy and have fun.
One class even gave a short
play for their teachers. I did not get to watch it as I was busy tidying up the
classroom after the party.
All in all it was a great
day. The whole school was immersed in an
atmosphere of gaiety. So when the school bell rang for dismissal I felt a
little sad that it should end, but end it must. The day was over and we went
home tired but happy.
