We’ve been back at school for three whole days! Term has started really early this year – loads of kids have got another week off. It’s not been too bad though. We’ve had great fun reminding Mrs Hogsbottom about her holiday disaster. Every time she walks by we lean sideways and hold our noses. She mutters ‘outrageous’ under her breath but she’s so puzzled she hasn’t thought up a school rule that stops boys leaning and holding their noses.
But she did have a new school rule for something else. The hall floor has been polished during the holidays. It shines now and smells really funny. And Mrs Hogsbum declared at our first assembly that School Rule number 746 says No children must make the hall floor dirty. So she stands at the door at assembly time and we have to take our shoes off when we go in! This was cool because the floor was slippery with just socks on and we all had a great slide. Until she added School Rule number 747 – no children must skate in the hall when they’ve taken off their shoes to protect the polish.
Anyway Ben and I decided that it was time for the gargoylz to play a trick. We waited until Mrs Hogsbum was in the hall. She was bent down, with her beaky nose right by the floor looking for smudge marks. And that was perfect. Neb blended in with the polished wood and Zack went invisible. They put their feet in flour and then ran round the hall. Mrs Hogsbum went mad trying to wipe away the paw marks with her hanky.
Must go. I have planted a plastic banana in the fruit bowl and can’t wait to see Dad take a bite. He loves bananas.
