    • "Buy mum." said Kim as she went to school, slamming the door behind her. When she got to school her friends come running up to her. "What is it?"Kim said frowning. "BAD BAD news!"screamed Mell from across the playground "We have to have English instead of Drama today!" "AHHHH" jelled Kim. Everyone stopped dead and looked around at her, how embarresing! When english come the girls were trembling in their shoes because there was a new teacher teaching them and there were rumers going round that she was given the worlds most horrible teacher award! When Amy [Kim's other friend] finished her lesson of maths she come wizzing round to Kim's classroom to see how horrible the teacher was to them. When Amy got to Kim's classroom she couldn't believe her eyes. Kim and Mell were laughing as they were coming out of the room. "Why are you laughing?" Amy said confused. "The teacher isn't horrible after all, she is really cool!" "English is now my favourite lesson!" said Kim laughing.

Well its 4o'clock and schools all over.well my brillant april fools did not go quite to plan. Jenni was asking the other day what I would like chicken is in french as shes going to france on a school trip very soon. I promised I would find out for her. I thought it would be really funny if I told her what I think your really sexy in french instead of I would like chicken. The plan back fired when Jenni walked into french lesson and said,"sir, I know what 'I would like chicken' is in french now, Ashely told me!" Then she said what I had told her right to his face. I got in a load of trouble. Then he saw the funny side of it and everybody takes the micheal in french. My favourite lesson is now very embarresing.

    • 'The best day of my life' mrs Sandy read out. 'You will have to write a story with that title'. Mrs Sandy was the stricktess teacher of the whole school, infact in my eyes she was the stricktess in the world! She never had a smile on her face and was always shouting! No one liked her at all and now she was giving us a long story to write! 'The cheeck of it'! I whispered to my best friend Kate. Oh no I thought, she's seen me! ' Do you and Kate want to carry on this conversation at the end of the day miss Green'? Mrs Sandy belowd at me. 'no miss sandy' I said cowering back from her stern eyes. Please look at someone else io thought. When I got home I cracked on with my story and it took me owers but when it was finally finished I read it through and I was like another world, to me it was brilliant! I handed it back in the next week, I was really nervous! All I had to do now was wait for Mrs Sandy to get her red pen out, in the lesson she called me up to her de! sk, my heart raced, why me, what for, aaaahhhhh! What was she going to say? All I had to do was walk over there with confidence, so I did, what was she going to say? When I got there she started to talk...............

    • Hi, one of the best days of my life is when we went to South Africa on holiday. We went on safaris and saw lots of wild animals. The best, although my brother didn't think so, was when he got attacked by a baboon. It was when we went down to Cape Point, he wanted to buy a postcard, which he did, and it was put into a brown paper bag. Tourists often feed the baboons and this one thought he had food in the bag. After watching and stalking for a little while the baboon struck. It pushed between mum and my brother and separated them. It then attacked him for the paper bag which it thought was food. My brother told it to "Get off"! The baboonb didn't understand him. It then jumped onto a car with the paper bag in its hand and when it saw what was inside, it just threw it away. It was frightening at the time but now its one of the best things to talk about from our holiday.
