Meet Doris
Grace Onu
Rob Owen

My name is Doris.
I am 11 years old.
I live in a small community somewhere in the world.

1

I live with my father
he raised me alone because we lost my mother when I was born.
My father loves me so much, and I love him too.

2

I love animals. I love sheeps the most because they are so gentle
They are cute and they have soft hairs

3

I also adore butterflies,
They are beautiful.
They make our little community look beautiful whey they fly with their colourful wings.

4

I go to school everyday with my friends.

We hold hands and talk as we walk to school.

It makes the distance to school shorter and exciting

5

I love sciences because it exposes me to the mysteries of the world

I learn how to use a microscope in science class

A microscope is used to see objects and organisms that our ordinary eyes cannot see.

6

My teacher; Mrs Ada always helps us to learn better in class.

I love and appreciate my teacher.

And I will become like her in future

7

Every Sunday we go to church.

After church we go back home and we eat our special rice and stew.

I am just a simple girl with big dreams.

Hope we can be friends?
