Holiday Plans
by Marcie Graham
Next week, I’m going to travel to the Cook
Islands with my mum, my dad and my
sister, Grace. Grace doesn’t want to go
because her boyfriend, Greg, isn’t coming
with us, but I’m really excited.
There are fifteen Cook Islands and they are
in the middle of the Pacific Ocean, between
Hawaii and New Zealand.
It’s hot and sunny there and we’re going to
go scuba-diving and cycling. I know it’s
going to be amazing!
Right now, I’m reading about the history of
the islands. The Cook Islanders were
brilliant sailors and travelled huge distances
in small boats. The islands are named after
British Captain James Cook. He sailed
around them in the 1770s but he wasn’t the
first European there. Two Spanish explorers
came before him: Alvaro de Mendana in
1595 and Pedro Quirós in 1606. The famous

Captain William Bligh also landed on the
islands in 1789. You can see his story in the
classic film Mutiny on the Bounty.

Kyle and me by Jane Wheeler
I’m Jane and this is my best friend, Kyle.
Kyle can’t walk. He uses a wheelchair, but
he’s hardly ever grumpy. He’s kind and
confident and he’s always smiling.
After school, we like playing computer
games and reading comics. We’re writing a
comic together at the moment; Kyle writes
the story and I draw the pictures. His
favourite comics are the old DC comics

about Batman and Spiderman.
Sometimes we play games in my garden.
We pretend his wheelchair is Batman’s car
– the Batmobile!
Kyle is very creative; he loves painting and
twice a week he plays the guitar in a band,
too. We also like sport; I like doing karate,
but Kyle prefers playing basketball.

he believes he can do anything.

World Journeys: Schools
Thaskin
My school is in the countryside in Thailand.
My parents are farmers and they work in the
rice fields. I cycle five kilometres to school
on small roads. It’s faster than walking! My
school is the smallest one in our area but
there are forty-five students in my class. I

love studying English – it’s my best subject.
Amanda
I live in London. My mum takes my sister
and me to school by car every day. My
parents say going by car is safer than riding
a bike, because there’s a lot of traffic in the
city. My school is near Paddington Station.
My dad sometimes comes with us in the
car and then goes to work by train.
