SCHOOL GARDENS COMPETITION

AMY

Our class has just won a prize for our school garden in a
competition – and they’re going to make a TV film about
it! The judges liked our garden because the flowers are all
different colours – and we painted some more on the wall
around it. My cousin gave us advice about what to grow –
she’s learning about gardening at college. We’re planning
to grow some vegetables next year. I just hope the
insects don’t eat them all!

FLORA

Our teacher heard about the school garden competition


on TV and told us about it. We decided to enter and won
second prize! There’s a high wall in our garden where
many red and yellow climbing flowers grow and it looks
as pretty as a painting! Our prize is a visit to a special
garden where there are lots of butterflies and other
insects. My aunt works there and she says it’s amazing.

LOUISA

The garden our class entered in the competition is very


special. The flowers we’ve grown are all yellow! They look
lovely on the video we made of the garden. We also grew
lots of carrots and potatoes, and everyone says they
taste fantastic. It was an interesting project. Our teacher

taught us lots of things about the butterflies in our
garden. We also watched a TV programme about them,
and did some paintings to put on the classroom wall.

STARTING AT A NEW SCHOOL
BY ANNA GRAY, AGE 11
I’ve just finished my first week at a new school and I’d
like to tell you about it. Like other children in my country,
I went to primary school until I was eleven and then I had
to go to a different school for older children. I loved my
primary school but I was excited to move to a new
school.
It was very strange on our first day. There were some
kids from my primary school there, but most of the
children in my year group were from different schools.
But I soon started talking to the girl who was sitting
beside me in maths. She lives near me so we walked
home together. We're best friends now.
When I saw our timetable there were lots of subjects,
some were quite new to me! Lessons are harder now.
They're longer and the subjects are more difficult, but the
teachers help us a lot.
At primary school we had all our lessons in one
classroom. Now each subject is taught in a different
room. It was difficult to find the classrooms at first
because the school is so big. But the teachers gave us
each a map of the school, so it's getting easier now.
The worst thing is that I have lots more homework to do
now. Some of it is fun but I need to get better at
remembering when I have to give different pieces of work
to the teachers!
