Jump Up: Issue Six

This is Kool Kids, the kid's newspaper/blog! I'm here to share with you so many fantastic pieces of gossip and greatness.

News

You can read this at the First News website: SCHOOL WITH ONLY ONE PUPIL CLOSES
A four year old boy named William Brewis started at Cornhill First School last September and is now the only pupil there! Even though the school has had very good reports, it could do with a bit more children! As there is only one child, the school may have to close, which means William will have to go on a bus for ten km so he can travel to a new school. Meanwhile, parents in other school are worried that there are too many children in each class. They are concerned that children may become shy and distressed with so many others around them. What do you think about this? Email me at abbybronte@hotmail.co.uk to tell me what you think! Or make an account on http://www.firstnews.co.uk and comment on the topic!

Tips

I've decided to give tips on "creating your own style" this week!

1. Go into a clothes shop, like New Look or Topshop and look at the clothes
2. Whatever fashion item catches your eye, take a closer look at it. Is it girly, vintage, rock chick?
3. Don't worry about what others wear, have fun with your own style. Mix and match and whatever you like, is your style!

Short Story

Continued... When Jane was settled in her room, she already knew. She liked Miss Cristen! And it had only been like, fifteen seconds! Her bedroom was spacious with a personalised bed that spoke in sparkly stones, "Jane", a desk shaped like an "n" was discovered and a spinning chair too. Also, a rule was that if you were eight and up you required your own laptop which was on Jane's desk already. She had an en-suite too, much better than the dodgy toilet back at her old orphanage. She went to the dining room for dinner. And that's when Jane got a text:
Soz! Got new m8! Off to L.A. baby! LOL! Sarah (Btw, like, buzz off!)

Tips!

This week on Tips we are looking at the subject of "making friends".

1. Start a conversation. Compliment somebody or just smile, or if you are feeling brave ask them question like, "Hi, how old are you? I'm ten".

2. Take an interest in them. If they do start talking to you, listen because if you don't they may think you a little rude. People like it when others are interested in them, it's makes them feel good inside.

3. If you're the chatty one and they're the shy one then make a move! Sometimes if someone is shy they may be scared to start talking to someone they haven't met before. Be prepared and as soon as you start chatting, they're sure to join in!

Short Story

Continued... "Er... Hi?" Jane offered. "Hiya! I'm Tilly and this is Angleton Gardens, run by Miss Sophie Cristen. She is really nice but also forgetful. MISS CRISTEN! I love her. Even though it doesn't look like that" Tilly happily introduced. Suddenly a pretty, young lady (much prettier than any other lady who ever lived!) walked down wooden steps (stairs) with a smile on her face. "Tilly! Why do you have to be so loud! Go and make yourself useful, get Joe. You two need to help Miss Adams with her luggage" Miss Cristen discussed. Her ginger hair just under her shoulders. "Jane! How are you? Did you like Bob, the Total Taxis driver? He's top class at jokes!" Miss Cristen welcomed keenly.

"I'm fine, I don't know who Bob is. You see, I waited for twenty minutes outside Embleson Gates and they still didn't come so I got directions and..." but Jane was interrupted. "You walked! I can't believe they didn't come! I'm so sorry! Oh no, what will Mrs Mill say?" Miss Cristen worried. "She won't find out, not if I can help it" Jane commented. Joe and Tilly appeared and Joe waved to Jane, he knew her from Embleson. "Is this an actual orphanage?" Jane looked around. "Well, it's more of a hotel for kids and teens who are homeless, hurt or orphans or just lost in the world" Miss Cristen remarked.
