A new start
In the new term, let's explore, and take a chance,
To try soccer kicks and drama dance.
Crafting small wonders, in art we dive,
With drums that beat, emotions come alive.
With rock climbing, we reach for the sky,
Having joys in gardening, we feel our hearts fly.
So, my friends, you don’t need second thoughts,
A whole new world is in front of us.
