LUNCH BREAK

 

LUNCH BREAK

 

Our school is a day school. Its working hours are form 10.00 a.m. to 4.30 p.m.. We have four periods in the morning and four in the afternoon. There is a 30 minute break at 1.10 p.m. this is lunch time for teachers and students. It is also play and gossip time.

 

Towards the end of the fourth period itself, students become restive. Their attention is more on the watch man than what the teacher is trying to reach. They eagerly wait for the bell.

 

As soon as the recess bell rings, the calm of the school is broken. There is noise everywhere. Some students rush down the stairs pushing each other to reach the canteen first. Others can be seen sitting in the classroom and gobbling up their food. The younger ones can be seen roaming about eating their lunch. Soon there is big crowd at the water coolers.

 

Many students go straight to the playground. Others join them after finishing their lunch. The playground gets crowded and hardly any game is possible. Yet students manage to play.

 

The library is also filled to capacity during lunch hour. Many students can be seen browsing through the papers, the internet and magazines.

 

Soon the lunch time is over. The bell goes. Children quickly get back to their classes and then the school becomes quiet again. Recess is the best part of the school day. Students and teachers all enjoy it.
