How are you all? I'm feeling great today! I'm SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
sorry that I haven't blogged for ages but now I promise I will! And have I got news for you?! Yesterday I got to go backstage at a One Direction concert and I met Niall Horan! Tee hee! I tricked you! I didn't really go backstage, but I had to play a prank because it's April Fool's Day!

Here are some jokes (bad and good):

Knock knock. "Who's there?". Doctor. "Doctor who?". How did you know my name?

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!

Awards

Top tweeter goes to... Katy Perry! Katy P recently tweeted: Longest day ever!
We know how you feel Katy! But of course Katy has to practice for hours... so well done Katy Perry!

Best Website goes to... First News! First News is a bit like Kool Kids, it's a kid's newspaper. However, First News is in print so you can buy it at the shops!

Best singer goes to... Adele! Adele won six brit awards, wow! She's cool, she's great and she sings really well. Check out her website: http://www.adele.tv/home/

Marvellous Music

Cooler Than Me- Mike Posner


Hit The Lights- Selena Gomez


All I Want Is Everything- Victoria Justice


Sk8er Boy- Avril Lavigne


Put Your Hearts Up- Ariana Grande


Sparks Fly- Taylor Swift


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!)

Once In A Lifetime: Issue Five

Welcome to a new issue of the kids newspaper/blog! It's been so icy and snowy recently, hasn't it? But it's half term now so we can all have fun!

News

Article, read it in the Daily Telegraph: GET ON YOUR (BOOK) MARKS, CHILDREN, FOR THE GREAT READING RACE

Every school child will be encouraged to have a book on the go because there is an exciting national competition to improve children's literacy. The contest will be starting in Autumn and Nick Gibb said that reading will be really good for all children.

Awards

Top Tweeter goes to... Jessie J! Jessie's tweet was: What colour do you think my dress is for the Grammys? Well Jessie, I'm not sure because you come up with many ultra fabulous and rare outfits! Maybe lots of different colours! Email me at abbybronte@hotmail.co.uk to tell me what you think.

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.

Have a fun half term! Lots of love, Abigail Bronte xoxo

I've made up my mind to add a new part to the newspaper... Tips! This week's tips are on what to do on the first day of a new club you start.
1. Smile, people will smile back and think you friendly
2. Try your best. Listen to instructors and do the best of your ability, it shows you are courageous.
3. Have fun! Don't ever continue a club if you don't like it! Parents want you to enjoy yourself!

Short Story


Continued... "Um... There's my Mum! Got to go!" faked Jane and she pointed to a plump lady pushing a pram. The tall woman rushed on and as Jane passed the plump lady she noticed the she was looking at her. Sternly. As if she shouldn't be there. Then Jane saw a man playing with his little girl, he looked reliable. "Sir, would you by any chance know the way to Angleton Gardens? I need to get there".

"Keep going straight on. There will be a road called Lavender Lane there, go down that road and Angleton is the second house on the left. Need a ride?" the man cheerily helped.

"No thank you. I appreciate your help, bye!" Jane stuttered and she raced like a formula one down the road so that the man wouldn't be able to catch up with her.

Lavender Lane really did smell of lavender. Jane checked the numbers, the left side was even, right side odd. She went to the left side and searched for number four. Soon enough it was found and she tapped, tapped, tapped on the door. A little girrl about nine opened the door and grinned tremendously! "MISS CRISTEN! THERE'S AN ORPHAN AT THE DOOR FOR YOU!" the girl screamed as she turned her back to Jane and stared impatiently at the stairs.

Who is this girl and who is Miss Cristen? Find out next time!

Short Story

"Jane Adams". When Mrs Mill said Jane's name Jane didn't respond, she was in a nightmare where she'd been told she was to leave and... But soon Jane's nightmare turned back into reality. Anna sniffed and hugged Jane tight. "Bye then smelly pants!" Sandy jeered and Erin threw a cushion at her. "Mrs Mill it can't be Jane!" Chris said. "I'm afraid it is Master Caperns" Mrs Mill replied. Anna went ghost white like Jane and took her up to her bedroom to pack.

"Angleton Gardens, it's going to be horrible isn't it?" Jane negatively announced to Anna. "Don't talk like that! You'll be having so much fun that you'll forget about me and Chris and everyone!" Anna positively corrected. A tear rolled down Jane's cheek and Anna held her by the arms. "Take this! It's a magical bracelet. When I was younger my Mum took me to see Ms Rocha Ackleys, a famous fortune teller. Ms Rocha gave me two magic bracelets so you can have the pearl pink one" Anna put the piece of jewellery in Jane's hand snd continued putting away books.

Embleson Gates had finished wishing their final goodbyes so Mrs Mill took Jane to the door. "Just wait outside, the taxi company, Total Taxis will be here soon. They are your transport to Angleton Gardens. Good luck!" Mrs Mill wished Jane and she closed the door. Jane was finally out of Embleson Gates, the orphanage. She stood, holding her bags for five minutes, ten, fifteen, twenty! Jane gave up and decided to ask someone the way, she would walk. She came across a tall lady in a black suit. Her experssion showed that she was tired and she smelt of Wonderland Perfume. "Excuse me? I hate to bother you but I wondered if you knew the way to Angleton Gardens?" Jane attempted. "I'm sorry, I don't know the way! You see I've just moved here with my... Wait a minute! Have you got a guardian?" the woman realised.

More of this story will be in next week's issue! I'm still doing the competitions from last week so enter!

Short Story

Continued from last week...

Jane loathed Erin when she tried to get a peek at what Sarah was saying to her. Sandy couldn't bother. Sandy got very angry with Jane when she wouldn't get off a laptop. Sandy played a game online named Tiny Toes where you were a tiny person in a massive city. If she couldn't get on it she would scream and scratch and shout. "Come on Jane! I really wanted to play Bowling Bizarre with you! And you promised last week" Erin persuaded. "Why didn't you ask me then?" Sandy wondered. "Doesn't matter" forgot Erin and she skipped into the kitchen. "Breakfast is ready kids!" Mrs Mill called.

So Jane typed to Sarah:

Gotta go! See you l8tr!

Turned off the laptop and ran into the kitchen. Jane sat down and peered at Mrs Mill who was handing out bowls of Cookie Crisp and placing jugs of orange juice on the table. Bradley Forns and Anna Emphsdale came in. Anna unlike Jane had short blonde, curly hair up to her shoulders. Jane had long, straight brown hair. Anna was quiet and liked to be on her own. She was also trustworthy and secretive. Anna sat on the seat next to Jane, Bradley went next to Lola Benton, a sixteen year old girl training to be a model. Typical.

"Eat up kids!" Chris urged. They tucked in, slurping up the orange and letting the Cookie Crisp rest sweetly in their mouths. "So, when will we find out, Mrs Mill?" Sandy grinned nastily at Jane. "Find out what? Oh! Today" Mrs Mill revealed. Everyone gasped, even Sandy. "But it was only a couple of days ago that Joe left!" Abigail insisted. "Yes I know that and I don't need to be informed again! Whoever leaves today will go to Angleton Gardens, a better orphanage" Mrs Mill replied. "What you think is good is rubbish to the rest of us!" Sandy pointed out. "Right! That's it! You will eat in silence and, Sandy?". "Yeah?". "No laptop today" Mrs Mill inclined. Sandy stamped her feet and dramatically exited the room. "I told you so" Erin cheeked. "Don't you start too, Miss Shirty!" Mrs Mill snapped.

"Okay guys, let's go and play in the garden" Chris exclaimed and they followed him out. Jane didn't want to play football so cheered her team on which was Bradley, James, Erin, Abigail and Jade. Anna didn't play either. Jade Vengley was the best girl footballer in Embleson Gates and was a team player. James Beige had had a crush on her for nearly four years! She hadn't noticed! "She's good isn't she? Jade" Jane muttered to Anna. "Very! The boys absolutely adore her!" Anna giggled and Jane did too! "Sandy is so mean! Whoever goes today I'm going to help them and be their friend. How about you?" Anna asked Jane. "I'll help them too but I still think it'll be me and then, then ..." Jane spoke. "Don't worry! I'm sure it won't be you! Jade scored a goal, look!" she gestured to the goal post where a celebrating Jade jumped up and down. They cheered and the team ran around the garden.

"Now please don't be upset about this everyone but I'm about to say who is leaving Embleson Gates". They all looked at each other anxiously. "That person is...".
