SCHOOL RECESS

Every day after the fourth period there is a recess for thirty minutes. As soon as the bell rings, boys and girls rush out of their classes. The quiet school premises changes into a noisy place.
Children are seen chattering cheerfully. A feeling of freedom reigns everywhere. Some students open their Tiffin-boxes and eat. Others go outside and buy food items from hawkers. Some students go to the library and read. Others play games or run races. A large crowd of children gather at the water-taps. The school grounds appear lively and gay.
The bell rings to signal the end of the recess. Students return to their respective classrooms. Once again the school premises are quiet.
