	<link>https://www.curwen.newham.sch.uk/news/?pid=6&amp;nid=17&amp;storyid=2589</link>	<description><![CDATA[<p>My name is Asahi, and I am in year 6 at Curwen Primary School. I have been at Curwen all the way through school, and have a passion for learning and challenging myself. In class, I enjoy Maths as the teachers are always helpful. It is a good subject to challenge yourself in, as if something is hard, you can keep trying and then, when you get it, it&rsquo;s really fun.</p>

<p>I also enjoy being a Sports Leader. It is very entertaining to help the younger children improve themselves and be more confident. Maybe when they are older they will want to be a Sports Leader too! Doing sport is great fun. You are never bored and sometimes get to enjoy being out in the sunshine.</p>

<p>In September, I am off to Bobby Moore for secondary school. I was keen to go there to continue my sports as apparently you get to play in the London Stadium, which would be fantastic! I will miss my teachers and the lunches at Curwen, but I am looking forward to the new challenges.</p>

	<link>https://www.curwen.newham.sch.uk/news/?pid=6&amp;nid=17&amp;storyid=2250</link>	<description><![CDATA[<p style="margin-left:0cm; margin-right:0cm; text-align:justify">I arrived in Year 3 from Moldova and did not speak English. I was feeling nervous and shy. I never been to school so it was hard to catch up, especially in Year 3. I didn&rsquo;t know how school was in my country, so how am I supposed to know in England? I felt scared.</p>

<p style="margin-left:0cm; margin-right:0cm; text-align:justify">In Year 4 the teachers helped me, I was a little bit English.</p>

<p style="margin-left:0cm; margin-right:0cm; text-align:justify">In Year 5 I am feeling confident. I am confident to speak to my friends. Everything is much easier now. I got help by teachers, my teacher put easier work for me and my friends help me when there are new things, for example the whole school assembly in hall and they told me to be quiet. My favourite subjects are P.E. and Maths. I go to table tennis and football clubs.&nbsp; Now I am part of Curwen Primary School.</p>

	<link>https://www.curwen.newham.sch.uk/news/?pid=6&amp;nid=17&amp;storyid=2248</link>	<description><![CDATA[<p style="margin-left:0cm; margin-right:0cm">I came to Curwen in Year 1 from Switzerland and I didn&rsquo;t speak much English. I felt anxious at the beginning. I have improved in school a lot. I am in Year 3 now and I feel proud for myself because of a lot of achievements in my subjects. I have got a Young Achievement award because I got good at English about in a year.</p>

<p style="margin-left:0cm; margin-right:0cm; text-align:justify">My friends helped me when I did not know English. Teachers helped me to learn the sounds to read. Mrs. Teixeira teach us the names of objects. She takes us out to play games and learn new things about England and to read at lunch time.</p>

<p style="margin-left:0cm; margin-right:0cm; text-align:justify">I like my school. In Curwen Primary School they teach me many things and there are lots of activities.</p>

	<link>https://www.curwen.newham.sch.uk/news/?pid=6&amp;nid=17&amp;storyid=2109</link>	<description><![CDATA[<p style="margin-left:0cm; margin-right:0cm; text-align:justify">I came to Curwen Primary School in year 3. The teachers are really kind even though I talk weirdly. They help me a lot! When I arrived I didn&rsquo;t speak any English. The teachers help me to learn English by playing language games and going on trips.</p>

<p style="margin-left:0cm; margin-right:0cm; text-align:justify">I like this school because they made the topics easy for us.</p>

<p style="margin-left:0cm; margin-right:0cm; text-align:justify">In year 4, we went on a trip to Fairplay House and that was really fun! We did archery, rock climbing (it is safe, don&rsquo;t worry) and other fun stuff! We also went to different trips like going to London Eye but the Fairplay House is my favourite.</p>

<p style="margin-left:0cm; margin-right:0cm; text-align:justify">In year 5, we couldn&rsquo;t go to fun trips because of Covid. We just went to Plaistow library which is very close to our school. We couldn&rsquo;t go to school anymore when the pandemic was really bad, but we did it online on Zoom. Luckily, we go back to school again, and we make a poster from cardboard about what animals do you like in your own country or that mean something to you and lots of other things.</p>

<p style="margin-left:0cm; margin-right:0cm; text-align:justify">My favourite subject is Art. My second favourite subject is Maths. When I&#39;m older I want to be a zookeeper/ pet shop assistant/ hair stylist or an artist.&nbsp;</p>

	<link>https://www.curwen.newham.sch.uk/news/?pid=6&amp;nid=17&amp;storyid=2108</link>	<description><![CDATA[<p style="margin-left:0cm; margin-right:0cm; text-align:justify">I came to Curwen in year 2 and didn&rsquo;t know anything about subjects or English, I didn&rsquo;t even speak English at all, but many teachers helped me learn more and catch up with my learning!</p>

<p style="margin-left:0cm; margin-right:0cm; text-align:justify">&nbsp;I didn&rsquo;t know how to spell many easy things and was too shy to speak in class or make friends. But now I like making new friends and I sometimes speak in class! I learnt the school rules, too.</p>

<p style="margin-left:0cm; margin-right:0cm; text-align:justify">Now I get better scores in my assessments than I did before! In fact, in my report I got Excellent in every subject! I applied to and was accepted in Grammar Schools but they are too far, so I go to one near my house.</p>

<p style="margin-left:0cm; margin-right:0cm; text-align:justify">Some of my most fun memories are when I became a Young Translator (A young translator is when you help other new students speak English and learn new things) and when I did tie-dye now in Year 6.</p>

<p style="margin-left:0cm; margin-right:0cm; text-align:justify">There are really amazing trips to go to in Curwen like Legoland! I remember in one of the rides I was really wet from the water, and the rides were amazing! This was the first school I went in England and it is where I share a lot of memories.</p>

<p style="margin-left:0cm; margin-right:0cm; text-align:justify">Curwen is an amazing place and I will miss it when I leave to secondary school.</p>
