Pohutukawa's procedure writing for getting ready for school

Before I go to school I put my uniform on. Next I eat my breakfast. Then I pack my lunchbox.
Then I brush my teeth and style my hair.  Then I pack my bag and if I have time Mum lets me have some free time to play a game. And last I go to school.
