Answer:
10 December 2025, Wednesday

8:30 p.m.

Dear Diary,
Today was a really exciting day at school. We celebrated Bhasha Sangam, and students
from different classes presented songs and poems in various Indian languages. I
performed a short poem in Tamil. At first, I was nervous, but when everyone clapped, I felt
proud and confident. I realised how beautiful and diverse our languages are.
It was truly a memorable experience.

Good night!

Diary Entry on a trip

Question: Write a Diary Entry sharing your feelings for the school trip to science museum.

10 December 2025, Wednesday


9:00 p.m.

Dear Diary,
Today was one of the most wonderful days of my life. Our class went on a trip to the
Science Museum. The moment we reached, I was amazed by the huge dinosaur models
and interactive displays. My friends and I tried many fun experiments.
The best part was the 3D space show. It felt like I was actually floating among the stars. I
clicked many pictures and bought a small rocket keychain. The whole day
was full of laughter, learning, and excitement. I wish every school day could be like this!
Feeling happy and tired.

Good night!
