My dream school would start at half past nine. We would have classes, but always with fun activities and we would never have to do the homework. Also, we would study on iPads instead of books. We would have lunch at school, but the canteen would be like a buffet where we could take whatever we wanted and there would always be some ice cream, gelatin and things like that (there would also be some fruit, of course). Then, we would have free afternoons. 

As for the school itself, it would be very big and would have open spaces for the students.  

I would have very good teachers because they would teach well and would be friendly and calm.  

This is my dream school!

Ana Manso, 7th D

My dream school would start at 9:45 am.

We would have classes (also including dance, cooking, photography and fashion classes on some days) with fun teachers and we would sit in comfortable sofas.

We would write and have the coursebooks on iPads and there would never be homework.

Instead of tests, we would have small tasks given at the beginning of the month to do at home and then hand in at the end of the month.

Classes would end at 1:30 pm and lunch would be healthy but of high quality, always with the option of meat, fish, or vegetarian, and orange juice or water as a drink. At the end we could also choose a dessert: fruit, gelatin, yoghurt, cookies, cake, or ice cream, but it would always be delicious and homemade food.

The school would be very big and modern with many spaces. It would have an indoor and outdoor pool, but we would also have to respect the limit of 15 people per pool, so that it would always be calm and safe.

There would also be an amusement park, including water amusements, also with a limit of 45 people as it would be big enough. but there would always be people controlling and monitoring the three fun spaces: the two swimming pools and the park.

This is my dream school and, in my opinion, it is an incredible school.

Maria Oliveira, 7th D

In my dream school, lessons would start at 9 am. Its rooms are large and modern because there would be interactive whiteboards to do various activities. There would also be plenty of spaces for students to socialize and to do their homework. The breaks would be of 30 minutes and during these breaks the students could play games provided by the school.

In this school, students don't just have the normal subjects, they also have small creative classes to choose what they want to be in the future and put that desire into practice by doing work proposed by themselves.

In the canteen there would be options of food and each of the students could choose what they wanted to eat on that day.

Classes would end at 1:30 pm and students would have the afternoon free. Students would also have a choice of clubs to attend in the afternoon, for example the drama club. These extra classes would be from 3 to 4:30 pm. The teachers would be patient and willing to teach and to help their students.

And this is my dream school!

My dream school would start at half past

ten. We would have classes, but always with

fun activities and we would never have to do

the homework. Also, we would study on iPhones

instead of books. We would have lunch at

school, but the canteen would be like a buffet

where we could take whatever we wanted

and there would always be some ice cream,

gelatin and things alike. Then, we would

have free afternoons.

As for the school itself, it would be very big

and would have open spaces for the

students.

I would have very good teachers because

they would teach well and would be friendly

and calm.

This is my dream school!

Caio Aquino, 7th B

My dream school would start at 9 am. We would have normal classes, but also some different, but useful classes, like sign language, first aid, economics, politics, swimming and cooking, and other short optional classes, like drama, fashion, dance and writing.

There, physical education would be optional.

We would also have study times in a special study room, where we could self-study or join a group and study together.

The classes would be very interactive and funny, with nice but competent teachers.

The classrooms would be big and very modern. There would be no books, and we would use laptops or iPads to get our notes and access our digital books.

The library would be big and very complete, with actual interesting books.

There would also be a reading project, to make us read more, with the students helping to choose the books, like Percy Jackson, The Hunger Games, etc.

We would have a big and modern canteen, with lots of food options, like vegetarian and fish meals, we could drink water or organic juices. For the dessert, we could choose in a big variety of fruits, but once a week, we would have the special dessert day, which would be voted by the canteen users and could be food that we don't eat on normal days, like cake, cookies, ice cream or gelatine.

We would also have an indoor pool for the swimming classes. I think these classes are very important, because it would be really useful if our boat sinks, we could swim to a safe place without any problems.

This is kinda personal, but it would have a coffee machine in the cafeteria. I love coffee.

We would have school trips very often, and to really nice destinations.

We would also have a prom / party for all the students at the end of each school year, kind of cliché, I know, but it would be nice to see everybody in formal clothing and then we would dance the songs that we like.

This is my dream school, and I hope you liked it!

Camila Peixoto, 7th B.

My dream school would start at 8:30 am and would end at midday. It would be a school that has a dance school inside, so we could have dance classes but wouldn't need to go out of the school, so we wouldn't be late.

I would like to have a big school but a simple one, so we won't get lost.

It would have a pool so we could have swimming classes.

About the breaks, I would like to have bigger breaks, like the ones we used to have in primary school - 30 minutes break.

My dream school would have funny teachers but strict. We wouldn't have tests, so we won't get nervous but we would have many school visits to museums and so on...

I would be happy in my dream school!!

Sofia Moutinho, 7th B

In my dream school the classes would start at 9:00 am and would end at 1:00 pm.

My dream school would be big and modern, with a big gym, a swimming pool and dance studios. We would have dance, theatre and music as optional classes.

We wouldn't have tests and we would have more English classes. The teacher would be funny and caring but strict.

At lunch time we would have a meat or vegetarian meal and soup.

We would have school trips to other cities and countries.

This would be my dream school.

Leonor Duarte, 7th B

My dream school would start at 9 o'clock am and would finish at 1 o'clock pm. It would have a big and good gym. There would also be a lot of classrooms, labs and ICT rooms, with comfortable chairs. In my dream school we would have good teachers. There would be an open space for the students with trees and comfortable chairs.

This is my dream school!

Pedro Ribeiro, 7th D

My dream school would start at nine o’clock a.m. and end at three o’clock p.m.

In my dream school the students wouldn’t have tests. They would have activities instead. The students wouldn’t have either homework, but the teachers would have the job of teaching them the best way to study alone at home.

Once a month, the school would organize booths of the school subjects and allow the best students in each subject to teach the other students funny things.

That’s my dream school!

Teresa Esteves, 7th D

My dream school would start at 9 o'clock am and finish at 1 o'clock pm. It would have very good teachers, a big open space for the students and comfortable chairs.

Gabriel Ferreira, 7th D.

The breaks would be of 30/45 minutes for the students to interact more with their classmates.

There would also be a dance studio, a kitchen, a swimming pool, a music studio, a gym and so much more for the students to practise their activites during the breaks.

Beyond the regular subjects, there would be other creative subjects, for example, fashion classes, make-up class, dance class, music class, medicine class and so on, so that the students could explore other areas.

Classes would end at 13pm for the students to have a free afternoon
