Friendship

Friendship

This week we watched the movie Homeward Bound and witnessed how three friends (Chance, a young dog unfamiliar with the world; Shadow, an aging, wise dog; and Sassy, a snobby cat) take care of each other on their long journey back home.

In the story, when Shadow falls down in a ditch and ‘gives up’, Chance gives him an inspiring speech on how ‘never to give up’. Do you have a friend like Chance, Shadow or Sassy?

Explain the true meaning of friendship, and what qualities you would like to see in your friend (Please do not write any names).

Write a few paragraphs about how your friend has helped you ‘never to give up’ and always helped you to try your best. 

Jenkinsons Aquarium

Our Field trip

We had an awesome trip in spite of the bad weather.

 I would like to thank Mrs. Arora, Mrs. Rathaur, Mr. Bharti and Mr. Azer for being great chaperones. We could not have made this trip a success without their help.

Boys and girls, write a few paragraphs about your field trip to Jenkinsons Aquarium.
Do not forget to mention the interesting facts we learned today especially about penguins. Remember the five elements for a good story - character, setting, events, problem and solution.  (Remember to have a beginning, middle and end to your story).

Good Luck!
