Thursday, 17th of January

Today was a normal school day, except for the fact that we had our fire drill today! It is the first and only fire drill we will be having this year. It happened during literature class. During literature, Mr Tan told us to pretend we were soldiers in world war 1 and pretend to go to war with each other. My group chose to be the air force, but unfortunately we lost to the other group, the navy. As Mr Tan was telling us about how the poem " Dulce Es Decorum Est", the fire alarm went off, marking the start of the fire drill. We waited for the announcement telling us where the simulated fire was before lining up outside of our classrooms, then proceeded to the assembly area, the school field. All of us walked down in an orderly manner and settled down in our lines in the field very quickly. The teachers then began taking our attendance to make sure that everyone was safe, we did not want to have anyone in the building if it was really on fire. After the fire drill, we went back up to class and took our bags before being dismissed from school. It was indeed a good experience.
