Whenever

Whenever he hears a bell, he thinks of time. Whenever he smells a sandwich, he thinks of a break. Whenever he tastes cheese he thinks of his mother. Whenever he sees a brush, he thinks of painting. Whenever he touches a ruler, he thinks of numbers and measuring shapes.
The bell means the start or the end of a lesson. He can eat his sandwich at the long break at lunch time. The taste of cheese is nice and makes him glad his mother hasn’t given him fishpaste. Putting paint on a brush, means art is his favourite subject. A ruler is used when learning about measuring shapes on paper and cutting them out.
Whenever he imagines a room, he thinks of home. His own room at home. Although he’s only five and in year one, he often imagines his room at home is a castle, where he can cut out paper shapes and paint them any colour he likes, where he only eats cheese sandwiches, can have lunch whenever he wants, and where he can dream about the tricycle his parents have promised him when he turns six, which he hopes has a bell.
