The honey moon is over, the new term has begun — new class, new experience, new classmates and new teachers... But what do the children think. What are their experiences and expectations, fears and joys? Some of them talked to <b>Elvina Nawaguna</b> about the whole new world:

The honey moon is over, the new term has begun — new class, new experience, new classmates and new teachers... But what do the children think. What are their experiences and expectations, fears and joys? Some of them talked to Elvina Nawaguna about the whole new world:

Namande Victoria, 13,P.7
I expected to find difficult things in P.7, but so far it is good. My best subject is Science. The teachers teach well and I think I will pass.

William Bugii, 9, P.3
I feared to go to P3 because I thought they would beat me, but it is fine. I like it. They give us homework and we read more than iwe used to. If I read hard, I know I will pass.

Halima Nampijja, 11, P.5
I thought we would do a lot of work in P.5 and that they would cane us, but I was not scared. Now that I am there, they are not caning us and they teach us well. I think I will pass and go to P.6.

Victoria Kajoki, 8, P.4
I was expecting to meet new friends and to be the best student. I find P.4 easy because you can learn things quickly and get them at once. I like all the subjects. I have also made new friends.

Esther Niwamanya ,11, P.6
I was a bit scared of going to P.6 because the children who had been there scared us that we would find tough teachers who would beat us. But the teachers told us they could only beat us if we did something wrong. I like P.6. It is not as hard as I thought and I have already made one new friend. I will follow the teacher’s instructions and consult my parents when I am confused so that I can pass and go to P.7.

Simon Peter Mukisa, 7, P,2
I was not scared to got to P.2. I thought it would be easier than P.1. But it is not very hard. I will be promoted to P.3 if I work very hard and don’t disturb my teachers. I want to make new friends in P.2. I still have my old ones.

Michael Kytcha, 7, P.2
I expected to find very tough teachers in P.2.
Now I have already got used to the teachers and I like it, because they do not beat us unless we have done something very bad. I think I will be promoted to P.3.

Esther Katukunda, 7. P.2
I thought there would be tough teachers in P.2. But I like it because they do not beat us. I like the subjects, especially English.

Robinah Namuli, 12, P.7
I was scared of going to P.7 because people told us it was hard. I expected to do a lot of reading and beginning of term.
