When Mangesh was wrestled down, the players as well as the spectators were confident that would lose. However, he proved everyone wrong and with great determination he made it back to his court, scoring three points.

6. Read the following note from a school girl’s diary:

Miss Fernandes is our new class teacher. She is slim and fit even at the age of 50. With her gray hair, spectacle and plain formal clothes, she looks so strict!

But we discovered that her classes can be great fun. We begin each class with a simple two minute game or activity. Today we had to write as many words beginning with ‘a’ as we could, within 60 seconds. I wrote 50! I got a pat on my back for making ‘the best effort’! I feel on top of the world.

Write diary entries for the interesting or important events that take place in your school. Write at least two diary entries.

Ans:

Diary entry 1:

Today in science class we were taught about microorganisms. I was very excited as our science teacher, Miss Anita, took us to the lab. We learnt about various microorganisms as well as saw them from microscopes! I was also able to observe red blood cells as well as plant cells. It was very fascinating.

Afterwards, Miss Anita taught us about the life cycle of different animals. I was surprised when we learnt about frogs as I never knew that’s how tadpoles would look. I really enjoyed science class today because I learned a lot of new things.

Diary entry 2:

Everyone cheered when it was announced that we would be playing dodgeball in today’s Physical Education class. My friend and I volunteered as captains and picked our teammates for the match. My teammates and I formed a circle and the other team went inside the ring. It was an intense five minutes as we tried to eliminate all the opposing players. Just before the time was up, my friend Sam took out the last standing player.

Then it was our turn to go in. Since there were alot of athletes in our team, we put up more of a fight. Eventually my teammates were knocked out one by one until I was the only one standing. My friends cheered for me as I dodged one ball after another. Soon the whistle blew and we had won! I was delighted as everyone praised and congratulated me.
