The First Day At New Zealand's School

The First Day At New Zealand's School

Today was my first day that I came to the school at New Zealand.We went out at 8:10 for school. About 10 minute later , we arrive . I saw a big , white building with a bright sun. After a while the boys were  arrive the school and there have many girls look around at them , I think it was the most funny thing I ever seen it before. The girls look at the us (just the girl) was a unhappy face , look like did't like us.
