Ladybugs are signs of good luck! People think that if a ladybug lands on you you should count the number of spots it has, to find out either how many years of good luck you will have, or how many months until your greatest wish comes true. from frivoloos 83

Ladybugs are named after our Lady Mary the mother of Jesus. Wearing a red cloak in the earlier paintings, British people started thinking that they should start calling those red insects Lady's birds.    from frivoloos 83 see you next week for part 2

On Saturday afternoon my eye was caught by a pair of doves who were pecking  at the food we had put out for them. I ran to my phone to take a picture of the beautiful creatures but I was too far so I got closer. Then they saw me and flew away. At that moment my finger slipped and took this beauiful picture! by frivoloos

Here is the video that we all have been waiting for... The ONE and only, the amazing lego drumkit. I hope you'll like it. To describe the drumkit: On the drummer's right the floor-tom is made of a cylindrical lego piece. On his left, a hi-hat is clipped on the 4 by 8 platform. The rack-toms are in front of the drummer.

Monster Hunt I don’t know anything about you, but I know I’ve always feared the dark… So entering a pitch black cave is   the worst of my nightmares. Especially when I know I’m on my own and there’s a massive creature in the cavern. So, to overcome my fear, I start singing “Cave on the Hill” by Egg Sheeran, slowly to myself. Firstly, you need to know why I am in this cave and when is it happening: we are in the age of stone and I have been exiled because I have committed a crime: I kicked my lord… He sent me here; in the cave of the unknown monster, to bring back some information about it or kill it. I get to a fork in the path as I reach the end of the song; so, I stop singing and concentrate on my duty. I can’t see more than ten metres in front of myself. I decide to go left, though I don’t know why… To my surprise, I end up in a cave where you could fit a football pitch; and in the middle, the biggest and scariest creature I ever saw is lying in front of me. I...

Chapter 1 Emma Bustle lived in a small American town called Turly. It was a beautiful place. In autumn, the trees turned orange and yellow. In winter a white blanket made of snow covered the colourful houses and people could ride sleighs. Emma was a young teacher who enjoyed winter for several reasons: one because she loved having snowball fights and riding sleighs with her school colleagues, secondly because she adored hot chocolate in front of a fire after skiing, and above all because of Christmas. The 1 st of December, Emma brought an Advent Calendar to the high school where she taught English to seventeen year olds. She took it to her classroom and the teenagers thought that it was super cool and that she was a fun teacher. When the bell rang Emma made her way to the staff room to get her coffee. In the corridor she bumped into her colleague Mark, Mark Moody. “Hi Mark, what are you teaching today?” asked Emma. “Oh, I have wood technology. By the way I have Lucas...

What? A rainbow is the reflection of light in a transparent object: drop of water, glass, etc... How? As the light goes through the drop of water, it separates into seven colours: red, orange, yellow, green, blue, indigo, and violet. When? It occurs when it was raining, and then the sun came out...

We were playing a game, Timothy and me, jumping really, really high. There was a girl with super power and she used it on me. I jumped really high, to the top of the house. Timothy said, “Me too!” The girl used her power on him and he went up! By Marshmallow10 ___________________________________________________________________________________ It was my aunt’s wedding! We all had candy figurines of my aunt and her husband. The cake was beautiful and I wanted to eat some.   But we couldn’t eat it until the race to put the figurines on top was done. I won, so I had the first piece! By Lollipop ___________________________________________________________________________________ I hate climbing, especially when it’s ropes… But today, as we went up the ropes, I arrived at the same time as a really good guy… So I went down happily, sat down and waited for the teacher to say the order: “Pierre,” she called me, “first….. of the losers” by Squigly __________________________...

In February 2018 I wrote about the water crises in South Africa here . This aricle is an update because it has been raining but not enough. This picture was published this year in March. Last summer there was more rain, and water in the reservoir did go up. But still not enough to provide water for the population for the year. https://citizen.co.za/news/south-africa/general/2106270/cape-town-dams-at-just-over-half-full/ By Boum32

“Do your homework!” “Stop talking!” said grandpa. Every day after school it was the same thing. “Go fetch the bread NOW!” My brother, my sister and I pushed him into the bathroom and locked the door.   “Everyone fetch the sweets. Let’s go in the pool then play with the tablets!” By Happy Box _______________________________________________________________________________ My grandpa always said “How can you kids be so naughty? I didn’t do all these things when I was little!” We took the car to see Great Grandma. We asked: “Is it true that grandpa was so well-behaved?” “Who told you that? He was the naughtiest of the family!” By Lollipop ___________________________________________________________________________________ Tom’s grandpa was learning to play electric guitar. He was playing quickly and loudly and very badly. Tom was trying to read his Alex Rider but he couldn’t because his grandpa was so noisy. Tom wanted to break the guitar. He said...

What is pollution? Pollution is the set of actions that brings to the planet all the rubbish that stays in the universe and takes millions of years to disappear. Why are we all on about it now? Humans have now exeeded the planet's capacity to take in the rubbish we are making. If we do not stop this could lead to the end of human existence. What are the consequences? -the climate is changing -there is a continent of plastic forming in the ocean -animals are poisoning themselves ( eating plastic etc) -sea levels are rising -genetical and other health problems for humans (air pollution causing cancer etc) -animals extinctions How can we stop it? 1) reducing plastic 2) reusing it 3) recycling objects (cans, bottles, etc) 4) don't use single use plastic etc By Squigly

AN ANNOYING GRANDPA These stories will be a bit different from The Killer!

Image by Myriam Zilles from Pixabay   It was midnight when I saw somebody coming into my bedroom, somebody dressed in black. He had a gun in his right hand a knife in his left hand. He said to me, “Give me your money, or I’ll kill you!”. I ran, I ran, but it was too late. by LittleCat22 _______________________________________________________________________ My cat is a killer. Before, she killed socks, toy cars and pens. Yesterday, I came back from school. I thought she was in my room, as she is every day. I called her: “Yoko!” She didn’t come. I ran into the garden. I saw Yoko with a dead mouse. By Lollipop ______________________________________________________ “I’m an assassinated girl from 1706… If you don’t want to die: send this message to five people in the next ten seconds… If not: that will be the last thing you’ll have done…” said the message. Michael said it was nonsense, and died with a knife through his heart… by Squigly

For me, a boat is a wooden thing that floats. My friend, Elisa, thinks that it’s where heroes live. I don’t think that’s true, but maybe. So, I took her on a boat, but she didn’t want to because missus was not a hero! Well she was FUNNY WOMAN! Hihihi! By LittleCat22 ______________________________________________________ “Look! A boat…” said my big brother as we were walking down the river side… As we all looked at it, we saw it was a big transporter boat. Then out of a dead silence came a small voice: “What’s a boat?” were the first words of my little sister. By Squigly ________________________________________________ A boat can float and take people on water. I went on a boat where I slept. When I slept the boat moved so I didn’t sleep very well. We ate breakfast and then the boat dropped us on Corsica. Then we went to friends and we stayed with them. By Marshmallow10 ______________________________________________________ I was two. Dad said, “We’...
