During my Montessori period, I started to sing songs. At that time I learnt so many small songs. After Montessori I practiced these songs at home very happily.

Now I am attending school and I am in Grade Three. Now I can sing songs as well as play the piano.
My hobby is singing songs. During my leisure time I engage in my favourite hobby.

When I get tired of doing my school work I love to sing. I sing songs for pleasure. Singing purifies ones mind. That is why I love to sing.

An excellent birthday party - 9 – 11 years

A party? Yes! A birthday party! There were beautiful sparkling lights. Gabriella, Troy, Sharpay, Ryan, Taylor and Chad were all there. But they were only props. Ashmitha's party theme was High School Musical 3.

The card, the cake, the decorations were all High School Musical. There were graduation hats and scrolls made out of marzipan. Just when I came in Ashmitha gave me a graduation hat to put on. I gave her a present and a big kiss.

A lot of friends were there. We played a lot of games. We played Prom Queen, Chocolate and Spoon, Dancing Statues. Then we had snacks. There were egg baskets, mini éclairs, hot dogs, cakes and many delicious things. We painted our faces and hands.

Then it was time for Ashmitha to cut her cake. In the cake there was Sharpay and Zeki. We sang Happy Birthday and took a photograph. It was the most wonderful party. Thank you Ashmitha, for giving us a
memorable evening.
