Every year, thousands of children arrive in the UK. We ask some new ones what they like best about their new lives and what's different from their home.

Jarek, Poland
I don't know anybody from Poland here, but I'm lucky because the English boy next door is very

friendly and kind. We are in the same class! I like teachers here. In Poland, the teachers seem a bit strict and serious. There are a lot of rules too. Here, teachers are patient and don't give much homework. We students go out of school and buy pizza or hamburgers for lunch. We can't do that in Poland.

Zinah, India
It's too cold here! I hate doing sport, especially outside in winter. The teacher here is very serious

about sport. I prefer science and maths. I love the maths class because the teacher is really fun, just like my maths teacher in India. The school is so big and some students seem unfriendly. I'm from a small village school. I think it's hard to communicate with them.

Luck & Daisy, the USA
My sister and I like living here. It's cool! My sister loves the school. Everybody here is very polite.
