CYP Now - My life - Kahirah Rookwood, 5, south London

Because I'm five my mama always looks after me and my uncle and my auntie and her niece. I really love fishes and cats and I like it when dogs pass my house then I follow and they lead. I like animals because of the sounds they make and how they walk.

I like talking. I am a chatterbox. My mum says so. Tomorrow I'm going to go to my school. I like it. The best thing about it is doing homework. I like stud-a-ling (sic) because it's so fun. I did arts before and I can't read.

I have a favourite teacher. Sometimes she isn't nice to me but I don't care.

I like playing catch the leader. You just run and people have to catch you then you're it again. I like coming here (Trojans out-of-school club). I like playing outside on the climbing frame and on the scooters and on the - what are they called again? - skateboards.
