This week we focus on schools in INDIA.
Hi! My name’s Sonia and I live on an island on Dal
Lake, Kashmir, India. I’m tall and slim with dark hair
and green eyes. Every morning I put on my school
uniform – a blue dress and a white headscarf. Then
I have breakfast and wait for my brother – he can
never find his school uniform (black trousers and a
blue shirt). He’s short with dark hair and brown eyes.
We are lucky because in my village many people
don’t go to school. We don’t go to school by bus, we
go by boat! I usually row, while my brother does his homework!
At school, we don’t have chairs or desks – we sit on the floor. We study
subjects like Maths, Science and Languages. I haven’t got a computer at
home, but I love playing computer games at school. And we are doing a
project on how to keep the lake clean. Sometimes we have school boat
races – it’s fun!
At the end of the day we row home and play games. My brother often goes
fishing, but I like playing cricket. When I grow up I want to be a doctor.
