Harper Goes to School
Harper is nervous about her first day at school in the Township of Tewa Peka Otago, NZ. She has to overcome her fears and find the courage within herself to face the challenges of a new school, new friends, and new experiences.
Harper woke up early on her first day of school. She was excited but also very nervous. What if she didn't make any friends? What if she got lost in the big school? Harper's mom helped her put on her dark green shirt, grey skirt, and dark green soft shell jacket. Harper also wore her pink flowery bike helmet for outdoor play and PE.
When Harper arrived at school, the first thing she had to do was get her dark blue school-issued bike helmet fitted. But Harper was too shy to ask for help. She stood in the hallway, holding her helmet and looking around, hoping someone would notice her.
Finally, a kind teacher named Miss Taylor noticed Harper. - Do you need help with your helmet? she asked. Harper nodded, grateful for the help. Miss Taylor adjusted the helmet to fit perfectly. - There you go, all set! Miss Taylor said with a smile. Harper felt a little better, but she was still nervous about making friends.
During recess, Harper saw other kids playing and laughing together. She wanted to join them, but she felt too scared. - What if they don't like me? Harper whispered to herself. She sat on a bench, watching the other children play. Harper felt like giving up and just staying by herself.
Just then, a girl named Emma came over and sat next to Harper. - Hi, I'm Emma. Do you want to play with us? Emma asked. Harper hesitated but then nodded. - Okay, Harper said quietly. Emma took her hand and led her to the group of kids playing a game. Harper felt a little braver with Emma by her side.
By the end of the day, Harper had made new friends and even learned a new game. She realized that being brave and asking for help wasn't so scary after all. - I had fun today, Harper said to her mom when she got home. - I'm so proud of you, her mom replied. Harper knew she could face any challenge with courage.
