All About me - Part 2

My dad got an opportunity to work in the UK, so we came back to London on September 26 Saturday 2021. Then I joined Newbury Park Primary school in Year 2 . I was also on a waiting list for Gearies primary school, which is an outstanding school, once my turn has come I joined that school. Because of the corona virus, I had to attend online classes, teachers send us the homework for each subject like maths, reading, English, and activities like painting or making cards in our Year 2 blog . After we do the work, we have to upload our work on the blog. We can view all the children's work and give comments or feedback. We have assemblies every Friday with miss Fan.During half term, She sent us some activities to do at home like growing plants and making valentines cards for our parents. I made a valentines day card for my mum & dad, which they really loved.After few months of online classes we started going to school and on my first day at school, our teacher Miss kahlon, gave an Introduction about me to the class. Afterward, we had an assembly with Mr. Drew (Our Head Teacher).


A day in my school is like: My dad drops me at school at 8:15 by walk or by scooter. I can only go to school by my scooter if I am ready by 8:15.When I arrive at school I choose my lunch and if I have any morning work I do it otherwise I read a book or draw something.Then Miss Kahlon takes the register and it is time for maths! After maths we have a playtime but on Tuesdays and Fridays, we don't because we have PE (Physical Education).Then it is lunch time and then we get another playtime for 30 minutes.When we come inside,our teacher chooses someone to ask any random question and she does the register again then we have english and we have a playtime again then when we come in we learn another topic like art,science or history but on every monday we have to do computing with miss kalatta like branching databases or 2simple.com at paint a picture then it is gonna be home time.Every time my mum picks me she is very late so once she got a letter from Mr drew because she was late 6 times in may but whenever my dad picks me he comes early and one day he was the first person standing next to the gate with his sun glasses.

I really like the way kids are helping each other when there is a problem ,like when I get hurt outside someone takes me to first aid and when I needed a new maths book my friend told me where to go to the office.Every wednesday we have a reading time with Miss Kahlon, which I really enjoy and it is also recorded in my reading record book by miss kahlon. It is really enjoyable because we read a story in a group and some times we used to read some books that were comedy.

I got summer holidays until September and then I am going to join Year 3 . I am very excited to join year 3 and my teacher's name is Miss Barren Smith who is very kind and polite.In my summer holidays I am gonna spend time at Khan academy, my dance class, My mum, dad and me are going to a tennis club every Saturday at 9:00 which I am gonna to enjoy alot!

All About me - Part 1

I am Jodha born on 26th March 2014 in India, since then I have lived in my grandmother's place for 6 months along with my mum. Actually, my parents used to live in London, but my mum went to India for her delivery. After I was born, my dad came to India, and then we three came back to London. While I was a baby, my parents used to drop me in a daycare called kiddikare, where I had lots of playtime, fun activities till evening along with other kids and my teachers. I really enjoyed staying at daycare, I still remember a few of my friends Laila Saleem, Laila Muktha, Stilian & Zara, and a lot of memories with them. I was going to daycare till I was 4 years.

In 2018 we went to India, Pune and lived there for 1.5 years, where I started going to school. I joined Sri Chaitanya School in Class 1. My day-to-day life is like going to school by bus ,attend  classes till evening, play time in between and then the bus drops me at a day care - Euro Kids in the evening. As both my parents work full time, I go to daycare after school hours. At school I studied different subjects like English , Maths, Hindi, Marati, Abacus &  ICT (International computing technology), out of those my favourite subjects are Maths, Hindi & ICT.In school they conduct exams where we are given question papers for each subject and need to answer correctly to get good score and rank. I had many friends in my school , Arshya is my best freind. In my final exams I got first rank, for which I am really proud of and my parents are really happy, encouraged me to get best ranks all the times in my studies. During my summer break I went to my grand parents house, where I had lots of fun and quality time with grand parents , cousins and my aunt's. 

My best time was having ice-cream and mangoes daily during summer break :) :) loved a lot.In Pune, every Saturday my day was like go to kumon class, get  Maths booklets for next week, go to buy groceries in Reliance Smart with my dad, have lunch, play with my friends in the apartment and then watch movies rest of the day :). On the next day sometimes  I go to Amanora mall for shopping, eating and playing. One day I went to a barbecue resturant, where I had grilled chicken, prawns . 

In the apartment where we lived there were lots of birthday parties celebrated, one of them was mine too :)  :), then my mum made pav bhaji :), my grandparents, my mums brother came to my home for my 5th birthday. We've been to Mumbai couple of times, to apply for my Britsh Passport, in that trip I visited few places like - The Taj Mahal palace & Hotel, The Gateway of India. During my school holidays we went for a holiday to Delhi, there we stayed in a Hotel called the Taj hotel and everyday we used to go for sight-seeing for famous, historic places and also had delicious local famous food. Once my mum took me to her office party where I enjoyed dancing, ate chicken and chips :) .

My dad took me to his office and bought a drink , yummy in my tummy :) When  I was in pune ,my grandparents came to my home, I used to teach them english classes for fun ,I really love teaching and I felt like wanted to become a teacher when I grow up. During my holidays every day I used to read a science and a space book,out of those books I learned many things like about gravity,t he north and south pole, magnets, the milky way and ice. As I learned new things,every saturday, my dad types some questions from the books on my computer and I answered them.
