Monday morning at Adderbury High School

It’s 8 o’clock on Monday and Noah is very tired. His teacher Mr Johnson is standing in front of the class and talking about maths. But, Noah isn’t interested in maths. Maths is so boring and difficult. Noah loves English and PE.

Noah isn't listening to his teacher, he is daydreaming. This morning he is dreaming about Nina. She is nice and she likes hip hop, football, and Noah’s favourite boy group! “Nina is coming to my birthday party! Perhaps I can dance with her,” Noah is  smiling.

“Noah! Do you know the answer?” his teacher asks. The teacher is looking at Noah, Noah’s face is turning red.

“I’m sorry Mr Johnson. I don’t know the answer, I think it is too difficult for me!”
“No, Noah, it’s not too difficult. You are daydreaming in class. You are not listening to me!”
Suddenly, the bell rings. Noah is happy.
