One night Snowy the chimp squeezed through the bars of the metal of his cage at the zoo. He felt happy because he escaped. As soon as he got to the forest he was climbing up trees very high so he could eat fruit. He made his house at the top of the trees. Snowy the chimp lived in the forest for the rest of his life.

One sunny Monday, Piper the piglet jumped to read the newspaper which said that the Pigalimpiks were on today.
She told her family that she was going so she jumped over the fence and ran to the Pigalimpiks, where the first competition was Jump the Turtles; the second was Bunny Racing, the third was Catch the Stick, the fourth was Roll in the Mud and last was Jump Over the Fence.
Her first jump was small, her second was a bit tall and her third was really big so she jumped it and the others were stuck.
She saw the score board and it said: Piper: 1. 10 points; 2. 10 points; 3. 9 points; 4. 10 points, 5. 20 points and she screamed “I won!” and she got a very big trophy so she ran home, jumped the fence and had a big celebration. Piper and her family watched the stars and went to bed with the trophy.

Cousteau the wildebeest was walking in a grassy meadow full of daisies, when he saw a brush turkey. He was confused and scared and he began to shiver while his heart began to pound. The brush turkey walked towards him and Cousteau froze. Then he ran into a hole and became stuck as footsteps came closer and closer. Cousteau remembered the call that would bring his herd towards him and he opened his mouth and bellowed. When they came to help him they were quite unkind about his courage.

The young girl lived in a cottage and today she was thinking how to impress the managers who looked completely friendly but were doing something rude with their hands which they placed over their ears as she tried to persuade them of her perfection. Jenny was cross and she stamped her feet and shouted “I have had enough of this!”. The skinny man with thick eyebrows was smiling, the chubby male with attitude was thrilled and the woman with pointy heels said “You’re in!”. They all stood up and yelled “Welcome to Yelling school!”

WHILE OTHERS ARE AT PLAY
School is well and truly under way and while some students had trouble adjusting to the new year a small group of them took it in their stride with new confidence.
This group of students was invited to attend a two week intensive tuition catch-up session during the Christmas break. Initially they were not too happy about attending, after all it was the holidays, but we thought they would benefit from the intensive program designed to better prepare them for the new year.
Each of the students needed to move closer to being aligned to the school curriculum as they were moving into secondary education. As it turned out most of them covered the equivalent of one year of school maths during those two weeks and all were happy to be at school understanding the maths they are being taught this year.
Every student who attended deserves a huge pat on the back for their efforts. It never ceases to amaze me what a child will achieve when given the correct environment and opportunity.

In 2017 at the Calopudib Sanctuary, a boy started glancing at a unique plant that looked like gold. The little boy was a curious botanist and when he gazed at the plant he said, “Amazing, what is it?” He looked in his plant book and whispered, “Nothing? That is preposterous” and then he gently harvested a petal for studying. It turned into a bar of solid gold and the petal grew back which made him confused but now very rich. The gold plant from Calopudib Sanctuary made that diminutive boy the man he is today-Bill Gates.

Luckily, the ship had an ability to turn into a fighter jet named Raptor, fast as lightning. First it put on the pistons and flew to Black Island, the spookiest island of all. They say the sounds of ghosts haunt till this very day! Raptor got trashed by the ghosts and then the crew ran for their souls were in terror. The fighter jet put on the engines and almost scared the life into the ghost who scrammed and the crew ran for three days non-stop before they caught up with their fighter jet.
