Footprints
This Academic Year At
Anweshana
My school started in the year
1994. It is 25 years old now. In
my school there are lots of trees
and plants. I like my school
because it has a different way of
learning.
On 18th January I went to a trip
with my friends in Anweshana. It
was a night stay trip. I got to stay
without my parents. We went to a
dam. We played in the water. We
also found shells near the dam.
On 4th February we went to a
tender coconut stall. We drank
only the tender coconut water.
We did not use the straw, carried
our own water bottle or glass.
When we went back to class we
ate the tender coconut flesh.
On 13th February we had taken a
class photo. On that day we had
to wear green dress because
green stands for go green. We
are going to have a go green Mela
on March 2nd . We are going to
get a partner and a topic. My
topic is about tooth powder.
In our school we had a GAIA
Mela for pre-primary children. I
had taken kheer. Aunties had
organised some games for us. In
one of the games I won and got
a prize. The prize was a key
chain. We also grew new plants
in our school.
When I celebrated my birthday
at school I took oranges. I chose
Veeraa as my birthday helper.
Veeraa had to put a chowki and
on that she placed a globe and
candle. Veeraa also had to light
the candle. I had to go around
the chowki with the globe seven
times (representing the age).
After each round my friends
used to ask me questions. Then
I would blow the candle and all
my friends used to sing happy
birthday song.
I love my school.
