My School — about 150 words
Best for Class 4–5My school’s name is Sunrise Public School and it stands in the heart of Mumbai, near the railway station. It is a big, beautiful building with three floors and a lovely garden in front. Inside there is a library full of storybooks, a computer lab, a science lab and a wide playground where we run about every afternoon.
We study many subjects — English, Hindi, Maths, Science, Social Studies and Art. English is my favourite because I love reading stories. My class teacher, Mrs Sharma, explains every lesson patiently and never scolds us for asking questions. During the lunch break I play cricket with my friends Aarav and Kabir under the big banyan tree. Every morning the whole school gathers for assembly and sings the national anthem together.
I love my school because it is not only a place to study. It is where I learn, play and make friends, and where the teachers care about every child. I hope to make my school proud by working hard.
Longer answers need one extra detail per paragraph, not extra paragraphs. Compare this with the 100-word version to see exactly what was added.
📖 How to write your own
Three paragraphs, three jobs
The same shape works for every “My …” essay
You have already written about your family. “My School” uses the very same three-paragraph structure, and it is one of the most common essay topics in Indian school exams.
The trick is knowing what belongs in each paragraph — and, just as important, what does not.
💡 The rule — Introduction, Body, Conclusion
Introduction: the name of your school, where it is, and what it looks like.
Body: your subjects, your teachers, your friends and what you do there.
Conclusion: why you love it, and what you hope for.
🎯 Key concept
🏫 Introduction — what and where it is
📚 Body — what I learn and do there
❤️ Conclusion — why I love it
📝 In your exam
Class 3 answers are usually 8 to 10 lines, or about 100 words. Write in the present tense and use I, my, our throughout. Spend a minute planning before you write — one line of notes for each paragraph is enough.
📋 What to write about
Six questions to answer before you start
What is your school called? Which town or city is it in?
Big or small? How many floors or rooms? Is there a garden?
What do you study? Which subject do you like best, and why?
Who is your class teacher? What makes them your favourite?
Who do you sit with? What do you play at break time?
What makes your school special to you? What do you hope for?
🏫 A second model, and your plan
Every school is different — the structure is not
A village school

🔍 City school, village school
Different details, identical structure
City: a big building with three floors, a computer lab and a library. Village: four rooms, mats to sit on and a neem tree in the yard.
City: six subjects, with a different teacher for each one. Village: Guruji teaches every subject himself.
City: cricket on the big playground at lunch. Village: kabaddi and kho-kho on the open ground.
Both end the same way: I love my school because it is where I learn and grow.
🧠 Memory trick
Works for any “My …” essay
Name it, describe it, feel it
Name it — the introduction says what it is and where.
Describe it — the body gives the details, the people, the daily routine.
Feel it — the conclusion says what it means to you.

What parents ask about this essay
How many lines should a Class 3 My School essay be?
Eight to ten lines, or roughly 100 words. Most CBSE and ICSE Class 3 papers ask for a short essay of this length. Writing much more does not earn extra marks, and a very long answer often loses the clear three-paragraph shape the examiner is looking for.
What are the three paragraphs of a My School essay?
The introduction gives your school’s name, where it is and what it looks like. The body covers your subjects, your teachers, your friends and what you do during the day. The conclusion says why you love your school and what you hope for.
Which tense should the essay be written in?
The present tense, because you are describing a school you go to now — “my school has a garden”, not “had”. Use the past tense only if you are writing about something that already happened, such as a sports day.
How do I write 10 lines on my school?
Answer one question per line: the name, the place, the size, the garden or ground, the rooms, the subjects, the teacher, the friends, the assembly, and finally why you love it. The ten-line essay at the top of this page follows exactly that order.
Can my child use these essays in an exam?
They are models to learn from, not answers to memorise. Ask your child to swap in their own school’s name, city, subjects and teacher. An essay full of real details from their own school is always stronger than a copied one — and examiners notice the difference.
🌟 Fun facts
Two things to tell your friends
India has around 1.5 million schools — more than any other country in the world. From a four-room village school to a huge city campus, every one of them is somebody’s “my school”.
The word school comes from the ancient Greek word skholē, which first meant leisure or free time. The Greeks thought learning was the very best thing to do with a free afternoon.
🧠 Tips for parents
Three things to try this week
Look before writing
Walk your child through what they actually see at school — the gate, the corridor, the ground. Concrete details they have noticed themselves always beat borrowed ones.
Real school, dream school
After “My School”, ask for “My Dream School”. Comparing the two teaches the difference between describing and imagining — and makes both essays easier.
Practise against the clock
Give twenty minutes and ask for ten lines. Doing it once under time pressure at home removes most of the panic in the exam hall.
