Another 'Day in the Life of....

  Alice from England sent me a description of her school day so that the children here could learn more about life in the UK.   Roshani in Year 5 responded with her report below.   I helped her with the language.

‘Hello Alice.  My name is Roshani Sunar and I am 11 years old.  I have one big sister but she has left home.   I  have two brothers who  go to Amar Jyoti School.

 I live with my parents and grandparents and we have one room in my house.  We have a tap and a light.   I get up at 7am and eat breakfast.  I have tea and a biscuit.   Then I take the goats to the grass.   We have two goats and a buffalo and they live in the cow shed.   I clean the home and then have lunch of dahl baht with my Mother at 8.20am.   I walk to school.  It takes about 40 minutes.   I do English Nepali and Maths.   I play chungi with my friends at break. I have a samosa for lunch.   In the afternoon I have social studies and science lessons.   Once a week our class go to the computers.   At 5 pm I walk home and have maize, tea and curry.   I help my Mother with the animals and then do homework for one hour.   I go to bed at 10pm.

I would like to be a doctor when I leave school.   My Father is a builder'.

Chungi is a game played with bands of rubber tied together that the children use like a ball.   Roshani and her friends stand in a circle and pass the chungi around

using the palm of their hands.

The boys from Year 1 in the picture on the right are playing with bands from a broken chungi.   They flick them and try and touch their friend's band.
