Yoga, Phil and Jo’s trousers…… whilst in the middle of one of Katie’s enjoyable Yoga sessions a loud tearing sound broke the peace. An expectant Phil found a hole in his trousers even though they weren’t even his he had borrowed jo’s…….uh oh.  They were right in the crotch and it totally threw the concentration! Everyone was laughing and Phil went bright red! Oops…

It’s all hotting up at summer school this year with all the staff gossip rising out of control! A chart was written out and it turns out Boop has been out with at least 3 different staff members and also so has Ollie!

Also, a few days ago, it has been claimed that a group of people saw Sarah in a car with a man. This mystery man could be George? But surely that doesn’t work because neither of them have a car! Either the claim is wrong and their eyes deceived them, or it could be true! Although gossip and tales may be spread, they might not always be true.

George said “I can neither confirm nor deny the rumours, but I am happy to find that I have somehow gained a car…” Sarah could not be reached for comment apart from when we heard her say to George ‘I love you’. This is now a hot talking point in the newspaper department.

Did you know that once in a staff meeting, Steffan Aquarone fell asleep and snored? All the staff got angry, especially Boop! She felt so disappointed in him because she has trained him to do everything she wanted him to do, including buying her chocolate and doing her chores! Matty thought it was hilarious! Also, he admits to fancying Boop, Sarah and Lailah

Margaret is summer school’s most famous show girl. But how much do we really know about her mysterious past…

Margaret was born in 2009 in the South of France and within a few months she’d already started stage dancing. It all started with the can-can. She could kick her legs higher than any other girl and had men falling at her feet. She would accept love from the occasional stranger but mostly kept her modesty to herself. Soon she was winning many an award! But by 2011 she had retired and is now living a peaceful Quaker life.

Matty has been a big part of summer school but he too has had a very adventurous life…

Matty was born in 1672, prehistoric ages. He soon learnt to scream. He killed many a dinosaur. He killed them with his bare hands and they provided food for the Quaker community. But Matty knew nothing about how special he would be. Soon he was the first flying ape. But Matty chose a ‘quieter life’ as summer school’s only talking ape.

Imran seems quiet, cheerful and sweet but few know his past as an assassin…

Imran killed many chickens. He was ruthless. He spared no mercy. He slaughtered many and that is why we love him!

Over our time at summer school, we have been on a few outings. We’ve been to the maze which had everyone running around and when we went to Saffron Walden, I was surprised the citizens of this little town weren’t hiding in their houses. But here is what we think of what we have been doing.

The maze was filled with laughter, instructions and confused 11 to 14 year olds. We have enjoyed the maze immensely. “I found it so hard; I had to climb through quite a few bushes to get to the middle.” Says Rachel who said it was 10/10 for the maze. Lydia who found the maze extremely hard, said it was “Hot, exciting, tricky but enjoyable.”  If I were to describe it, it would be misleading but exciting. But all in all it was an excellent day out.

The trip to Saffron Walden was a chance to buy things for secret friends, buy supplies and just hang out with your friends. Glitter was a top-seller and when I asked the toy shop owner whether it was weird that a load of 11 to 14 year olds were buying facial glitter usually bought by 4 to 7 year old girls, she said she thought it was a joke and they were taking the mickey, but who wouldn’t turn down a good customer and she certainly didn’t. I bought some yesterday and it still on my face after a thorough face wipe. Also very popular was, wait for it, pineapples! I know it sounds weird but they were given as presents for secret friends! I was walking round with Lilly and she bought a pineapple to give to her S.F. But she eventually declared she was attached to it and would keep it. But her S.F got their pineapple.
