Why is the school a special place in my community?

A school is a learning centre where learners of all ages come together to learn about everything, therefore it is a very special place in the community.

First, school is fun because the students get to learn about a lot of new things like netbooks, computers, food, sports, maths, science and languages. The school  has  a teacher to teach the enthusiastic learners about new things. When students become  experts at one level, they get the opportunity to move to another level.

Then there are special sessions to help students build their  confidence in talking in front of the  school and other people and this makes the school a special place as well. The  school is also important because it provides the learners with the opportunity to read and write so they can get a job faster.

Next, schools are important because they let us students play,  talking to each other, make friends and gives them new opportunities. They learn new things everyday just like the teacher. Everyday students go to school and they get a chance to do something and learn new cool things.

Furthermore, a school is also a sports centre for the students and the community as well because it has facilities like playgrounds, swimming pools, courts and the hall where different sports can be played.  Students also benefit from getting special skills in sports from sports coaches hired by the school and that makes the school a special place.

Finally, the school can be used for special events like weddings, church services, birthday parties and community meetings because it has a hall where people can gather for a meeting. Most schools have these facilities available to the community so it make the school a special place.

A school is a special place in the community because it plays so many different roles to meet the needs of the community where it is in.

Why is the Church Special in Our Community?, Moses

Why is the Church Special in Our Community ?

The Church is a really special place in the community because we go there to worship God and ask for forgiveness for the sins we have committed.

The Church is special to me because we can pray and read the Holy Bible with the Minister and others. The word of God  is good and it  can take away all the stress in your mind when we pray to God. It’s good to go to church because we can communicate with others in our community in our own Language and pray with each other.

We go to church so we can pray and thank God for everything he has done for us and be with us when the week passes by. We also go to church so we can pray and ask him to heal our wounds on our body if we are hurt.

The Church is a way to go and pray and communicate with our Holy Father. Church has a very big building. There are a lot of different denominations in the Christian church because a lot of people go to church.

A church is a special place because it enables people to come together and socialise with each other apart from studying the Bible and learning about God.

Making Bread

Bread is made from different ingredients. These ingredients are sugar, milk, butter, olive oil, rapid yeast, salt ,flour and milk.

First, combine the flour, yeast and sugar in a large bowl. Then stir in salt and then make a well in the centre and put warm milk and butter.

Then, stir the mixture until made into dough.

Next, use your hands to bring the dough together in the bowl. Soon after that turn the dough onto a light surface and knead it until the dough is smooth and elastic.

After that, brush a large bowl with olive oil to grease. Then place the dough into the bowl and cover it with a damp tea towel and set it aside in a warm, draught-free place to settle for 45 minutes - 1 hour or until the dough has double sized.

Then, knead the centre of the dough with your fist. After that turn the dough onto a lightly floured place and then knead for two minutes or until the dough is elastic and has turned to it’s original size. Once it has turned to its original size, it is ready to bake.

Next, put the dough into a loaf pan and place it into a preheated 200 °C oven for about 35 minutes. When the bread is fully baked , it will sound “hollow” when it is  tapped with the finger. It will easily fall out of the loaf pan. It is now time to set the loaf of bread aside to cool down.

The yummy loaf of bread is now ready to share with your family.
