We also learn some simple words like hello, good bye, dog, cat etc. now in seventh grade we write down texts like this one and do more complicated works.

• Chemistry. We started with chemistry in seventh grade. Its a subject where we learn about atoms and matter. Sometimes we do experiments when we do it it is pretty funny.

A normal day at Kvarnby

I go to school wich takes like 10-30 minutes. I take the often the bus. I go to my cabinet and I look at what lesson i\ve. I start at 8:10. I\ve often 2 or three lessons before lunch. After these lessons I go to to the house wich is outisde and only takes 5 seconds to go til. I eat my lunch and after the lunch I\ve got break. It often depens on what day it is but the lunchbreak can be from 40 minutes to 2 hours. Sometimes some lessons can get cancelled too so you never really know until the last minute. But after the break I\ve to go back to my lessons i\ve after. And we end often at 2 o\clock or 3 o\cloc
