Hannah was always very cheerful. She smiled when people said hello.
She laughed when dad wore pants on his head. She giggled when her baby brother rubbed custard all over his face.

Hannah’s favourite colour was yellow because the sun is yellow and the sun always makes people feel happy.

It was Monday morning. As Hannah lay in bed she could feel the sun on her face.
She opened her eyes to see the warm yellow lighting up her room and she smiled. It was going to be a great day.

Hannah jumped out of bed.
Soon she was on her way to school, swinging her schoolbag as she went. She could see the sunlight peeping through the trees.
She could hear the birds singing and children chatting as she got to the school gate.

In the classroom, Johnny Boyle pushed passed Hannah. He didn’t even say sorry, or excuse me. He just laughed and walked on. That made Hannah feel cross.

At break time Hannah skipped out to the playground as usual. Today her friend Katie said, “You can’t play. There are too many in the game already and you don’t run very fast.”

That made Hannah feel sad.

At maths time Daniel copied all of Hannah’s answers. The teacher noticed that they were exactly the same. “Who is copying?” she asked.Daniel blamed Hannah.

Hannah wasn’t having such a good day after all.
In fact she was having a terrible day.

Now it was writing time and Hannah couldn’t find her pencil. She was beginning to feel a little upset.
Just then Maeve looked over and whispered, “You can have my spare one.” She gave Hannah a pretty purple pencil. It had silver stars on it that sparkled. Hannah smiled and said “Thank you

At play time Hannah painted a picture of a castle. Laura leaned over to look. “That’s brilliant,” she said. “You’re very good at painting.” Hannah smiled.

At home time the teacher said, “You’ve all worked very hard today, well done.” Hannah smiled again.
As she skipped home Hannah swung her schoolbag and thought, “That was a great day!”
