  • MY WACKY DREAM

    ‘Zzzz,Zzz,Zzz’.. I was sleeping soundly in my bed. Suddenly, I woke up with a sweat. I had the wackiest dream ever. This is how it went.

    One day my friends, Jiya and Krisha, came over to my house for a playdate. I said to my friends ‘This is getting boring. Let’s have an adventure of our own.’ I told Jiya and Krisha my plan to go to China by foot! It was such a crazy plan but we wanted to have an epic adventure. They immediately agreed. We left our house with a backpack full of the things that we would require on our journey. After walking for many days, we reached the India- China border. ‘How will we pass the border?’ I asked. Krisha had an idea. She was an exceptional makeup artist. We disguised ourselves as trees and crossed the border without any suspicion. We couldn’t believe it; we were now in China! We rested for a while under a shady tree. When we woke up, we say a creepy man staring at us. We decided it would be best if we started walking. Soon we reached a city named Beijing. It was the Capital of China. We checked into a hotel. A woman at the desk was scowling at us. We went to our room, had a warm bath and ate some noodles. Then we went out to explore the city. We saw ‘The great wall of China’.  It was marvellous. We also went to Winter Olympics 2022. We watched some skiing competition. It was fun. Later, we returned to our rooms. We were exhausted so we had a nap. When we opened our eyes, we were in prison! The creepy man and the woman at the desk had teamed up and locked us in the jail while we were asleep. We were scared and started pondering what to do next. Suddenly, I thought of a plan. I whispered it to my friends. “I have only read about this so I don’t know if this plan would work.” I said to Krisha and Jiya. The plan was to jiggle the prison lock with a hairpin.  I removed my hairpin and tried it in the lock and it worked! Still, what if we would get caught and jailed again? We wore some big hats and covered our head. We then bought a hot air balloon, sat in that and started our journey back to India. We got busy chatting happily. We landed in a park. That’s when I realized that we took a wrong turn and didn’t check the direction. We had landed in North Korea. Kim Jong -Un was standing right in front of us. I shouted and woke up. What if all this had really happened, I thought? Wasn’t this the wackiest dream ever?

  • ALONE

    One day I was all alone at home

    To call my parents I didn’t even have a phone

    So I decided to break some rules

    That day I skipped the school

    Wore a pretty dress and went to a mall

    Went to many places till I finished them all

    First I played all the games

    Won all of them without any shame

    From there I went to an amusement park

    Even rode those rides where kids were not allowed

    I was starving so ate an ice cream

    My day felt like a marvelous dream

    Returned to home and stayed up late

    Watched a spooky movie till the change of date

    Next day when I woke up, my parents were there

    I hugged them tight without a minute to spare!

    My parents asked me if it was a fun day

    Tell us what you did, watched TV or played

    I didn’t know what to say

    Should I tell them what I did the whole day?

  • A GIRL FLYING A PAPER PLANE

    One day I was strolling and I saw a girl

    Flying a paper plane was this girl with a curl

    She was hoping it would not rain

    So that would not ruin her paper plane

    The girl aimed for the sky with all her might

    Plane flew very high and went out of her sight

    The paper plane flew afar with the breeze

    And landed in the home of many many bees

    The girl was disappointed and didn’t know what to do

    Then her friend came to her and helped her make a new

    The girl with a curl was very pleased

    She told her friend to play if he wished

    They both started flying paper planes together

    It was so fun they wished to play forever!

  • MY TRIP TO SCHOOL

    Anaya’s class was invited to school to meet the teachers and visit the school premises. It was Anaya’s first time in big school. She was very excited and had a great time there. She wrote a poem on her experience there. 

    MY TRIP TO SCHOOL

    One day my mamma got a message from school

    ‘A TRIP TO SCHOOL’ note which I found quite cool

    I was so giddy with excitement that I jumped with joy

    I hadn’t been to school in one and a half year

    On the trip day, I could barely pay attention in online class

    I was busy daydreaming and wanted to go there fast

    My dear teachers were waiting for us all

    I knew then and there that I was gonna have a ball

    At first, I was feeling a bit shy

    Meeting everyone, my tummy had butterflies

    We chatted with ma’ams and wrote about our favourite ones

    Then we danced and played a fun new game

    The teachers took us to show the school building

    It looked humongous and felt like never ending

    I saw my classrooms and many other places

    Seeing the huge library, now that was amazing

    I was really really pleased to meet my teachers

    They were all very kind and quite amazing

    This was a very enjoyable and exciting day

    I wish soon I will go to school everyday!

  • BOOK REVIEW – THE WITCHES BY ROALD DAHL

    Roald Dahl is my favourite author. He is a British novelist who is a very famous children’s writer. He has written many bestselling books like Matilda, Charlie and the Chocolate Factory etc.

    I have read many of his books and liked them all but The Witches is an extraordinary book, one of the best I have ever read. It is a fantasy and horror book. This is the book which inspired me to write my own stories.

    The Witches is about a boy and his grandmother who want to get rid of Witches forever. Especially ‘THE GRAND HIGH WITCH’, The ruler of the witches! The witches want to use their weapon to kill all the children of England. They are hatching a terrifying plan. Who will succeed?

    My favourite part of the book is the beginning – A Note about Witches. It has the perfect description of them. They are not ordinary witches like you see in fairytales. This book is about ‘The Real Witches’.

    The best character in the book is of ‘The Grand High Witch’ because she has a really scary face and a very clever plan. Even other witches are scared of her!

    My favourite dialogue in the book is the motto of all the Witches. ‘One child a week is Fifty-two a year. Squish them, squiggle them and make them disappear.’ Are you scared yet?

    The only thing I didn’t like about this book is it is frightening, a little too frightening.

    A movie was also made on this book with the same name. I felt the book was a lot better than the movie. The movie was not very descriptive or even imaginative and I found it a bit boring.
