A Day in the Life of Clement

This is Clement. He is 8 years old and is in 3^rd grade . Clements favorite subject is math and he really likes to play soccer.

Clement will show you what he does on a school day:

After getting up in the morning and putting on his school clothes, Clement walks to school.

At school he will talk and hang out with his friends and eat breakfast. This morning he is having rice for breakfast.

When school starts at 8:00, everyone lines up for assembly. First they pray and then sing the Ghana Anthem and other songs. After the singing there are announcement. When these are done, they walk (or sometimes march) to class.

Now Clement and his fellow classmates will have class with their teacher Mr. Amankwah

At 10:15 he has a 30 min break for out door games. Usually they play soccer or play with the hula-hoops

Then it’s back to class!

At 12:30 it is lunchtime! Now everyone lines up in front of the kitchen and receives a bowl of Jollof rice (rice with tomato sauce and fish (its very good! J)). Clement and his fellow student have Jollof rice every day. But sometimes they have other food (like Fufu).

After lunch it is quiets time. After 20 min of quiet time, it is recess! During recess, Clement and his friends usually play soccer. After 30 min of recess, they all return to class.

At 2:30 school is finished. But before everyone can go home, there is another assembly time. All students pray and sing songs. After this most of the children wait for the school bus. But Clement and some of the other students walk home to near by village.
