Today is the first day of grade six. I spent the vacation waiting for this day to come. This is the first time for me to attend the morning session. Classes are in the afternoon at Aminiya School for grades one to five. We have a different teacher for each subject this year. I have really good teachers this year, as in the previous years. When I entered the classroom, I was happy to see some of my classmates from grade five. My favorite subject is physical education (PE). Luckily, my homeroom teacher is also my PE teacher, Jameel Sir. The main thing we did at school today was set aims and goals for each subject.

I am really tired today. I just came home from playing a basketball game. It was extremely competitive. My teammates played well. We played against a strong team, and the score was tight throughout. We would get a lead, and the opposing team would then score and get back ahead. Things went back and forth like that, and we were ahead, but the other team made a shot at the end to win the game. Our whole team felt really sad at that instant. But our coach consoled us and encouraged us to work to win the next time.

Today is a happy day. Everything is perfect. I love going on picnics with my relatives on holidays. We had huni roshi toast with mashuni tuna and coconut for breakfast and went to the sea. We lost track of the time as we enjoyed tossing a ball, searching for nuts, doing swimming races, and diving off the pier. Our mothers called us back to shore in the afternoon when the sun was brightest. We were happy and excited to see what was in the bags that our mothers had brought. It was a lot of really cute candies. After I had some candy, I went back out into the sea and relaxed on an air mattress. Our mothers got into the sea, too, and tossed water on me. We all had spicy tuna snacks and tea on the beach in the evening. I was sleepy when we got home, but I was really happy.
