Paper Planes

Hello again!

Our teacher told us that the Minister will come to visit again our school and she said this time we don't have to sing “La Marseillaise” anymore because we forget the words all the time. The Head suggested we make some arts & crafts to show the Minister we are creative but nobody liked the idea because arts and crafts are for girls and we really just like to play football. But teacher said it was a good idea and we can make colourful paper planes and hang them on strings in the ceiling and make a giant banner that says “Welcome, Minister.” I like planes because I want to be a pilot when I grow up.

She distributed art paper but we all complained because everyone wants to have the same colour blue. Black is sad, pink are for girls and violet is not just right. She ran out of colour blue so Alec got colour pink and he cried because he said he wasn’t a girl. Teacher told him he could go to the corner and eat his croissant while we make our paper planes. When we finally made ‘em, nobody really wanted to tie them up on a string. When the Minister came, the whole classroom was full of flying blue paper planes. We were so happy but the Minister still has the same sad face as last year.

Geoffrey's kick

Hello everyone,

I came home very sore today and had some bruises on my knee. Eddie went to karate class this summer and was showing off his new moves in the playground and we all gathered around him. He really made a high kick in the air and we said wow but hit Geoffrey in the face and he fell on the floor. Geoffrey started crying and called Eddie a nit and tried to punch him in the nose but Eddie got away and started running.

They ran around the playground and we all ran to follow them. Rufus was sitting down with Alec and eating croissants and we stepped on them so everyone got cross. Rufus threw Alec’s croissants on Eddie’s face. Alec thumped Rufus on his head and said he now wants to go home because he’s still hungry.

And me? I fell because I didn’t see Alec’s big lunchbox in the ground. The blood squirted from my knee and I thought I was dying and everyone stopped to see my bruise. The teacher came to bring me in the clinic and I heard Geoffrey say he will ask his dad to hire the number 1 karate teacher in France so he can kick Eddie back in the face. When I went home, mum asked me if it was painful and gave me a delicious pudding.

Louise's birthday

Hello again!

My mum said its Louise’s birthday this Saturday and we are all invited to go and there would be other boys and girls to play with and lots of balloons and puddings to eat. My dad couldn’t go because he’s away and I asked my mum if Alec could come because he likes children’s parties and can eat all day.

My mum called his mum but Alec didn’t get a good monthly report last week so he needs to stay home. I was sad that Alec couldn’t go but I thought about Louise and I like her a lot! I want to marry her because she knows how to score goals even though she broke the garage window that day. I wish I can score more goals like her! Mum said I don’t need to buy Louise flowers and we’ll go out this afternoon to look for a gift.

Nicholas is back!

Hello everyone!

Missed me? Sorry I have been very cheeky and had not been in touch for a very long time but now I’m back!

I can’t wait to tell you about what happened to me and my gang for the past few months. You’d be delighted to find that I haven’t changed at all because I still want to fly a plane and be a pilot and Alec still loves croissants. I’ve been getting really really good in football and today I almost scored a goal. Oops, mum’s calling for supper so see you in a bit!

Your buddy (is back for good),
Nicholas
