At lunchtimes I usually go on the computers in the language rooms to make this website, check my email or do my homework.
At breaktimes I usually hang around with my friends, or sometimes I have to catch up with homework! My friends and
I rarely get into trouble cos we're nice people!!!

I liked my primary school at first, but looking back I realise how bad it was. Most of my teachers liked me (with the odd
exception), and I was usually the best in the class. I got bullied a lot, though, and had few friends. The best friend I ever
had was probably Lucy, who I met in year 6. She went to a different secondary school so I was only friends with her for a
year. We were so similar and loved dong the same things. She wrote stories like me and was clever like me. I never managed
to keep a best friends for longer than a couple of years due to peer pressure. Most people preferred popularity to me. I've
met Lucy a couple of times since but we've never been in touch.
When I was in year 5, the whole of the Juniors (years 3 to 6) did a production of "The Wind in the Willows" by Kenneth Grahame.
I auditioned for loads of main parts, but I only managed to get a dancing-only part of a snowflake. My friend Jade was Mole
and her best friend at the time from the year above was Ratty. I was in the choir at the time I got to sing some of the
songs too, but as I hadn't discovered I could sing and neither had the teachers I hadn't a main part.
In my priamry school I had my first experience of fame with my Mary Poppins solo, and also with the school magazine. For the
first time the school were thinking of launching a school magazine written by the school's top year 6 pupils. I was picked
for the team along with six others from my class, most of whom are still in my classes to this day. We were assisted in the
planning by an assistant from outside school of whom I can't remember the name. We decided to call it "Teacher's Nightmare"
and dug up the dirt on loads of teachers! Naturally, the teachers weren't allowed to see the magazine until it was finished.
We included puzzles, quizzes, songwords, reports, stories, jokes and accounts on the latest school trip. The assistant loved
it and we were spending more and more time out of lessons to make the magazine. The teachers were less impressed. They told
us to change the magazine a lot or they wouldn't allow us to sell it. We took out all the private stuff about teachers and
we had to remove the songwords. Finally, we printed 300+ copies and spent two hours sticking Fruit Pastilles on the front!
We sold a copy to every pupil for about 50p. We nearly sold out! The teachers vowed never to launch a school magazine again...
