My dear Riya,
How are you? I hope you and your family are doing well. I am writing to tell you about the fun activities happening at my school.
Last week, we had an Art and Craft Exhibition. I made a photo frame using cardboard and shells. My teacher loved it and displayed it on the front table!
We also had a storytelling competition. I narrated a story called The Clever Fox. It was so much fun and everyone clapped for me.
Next month, we will have a Science Fair. I am planning to make a model of a water purifier. Our science teacher is helping us with ideas.
I miss you a lot. Please write back soon and tell me what’s going on at your school.
Your loving friend,
