Once I went on a war-ship in St-Cjcorge, for a visit. When we were on the ship a robber came up to the ship with a big axe and cut the rope that held the ship to the Dock and later he struck again by cut- ting the anchor. Soon the ship was far out to sea. We sailed on Ibr days and days, still no sign of land. One day there was a big storm, the boat rocked to and fro. Land ahoy! Soon we will hit the reef and we did. Sirens roared, the ship was OK. There was a shriek ofexcite- ment but we still had a problem, we were stuck on a reel ' in the mid- dle of the sea half sunk and now a fleet of war-ships headed straight for us at great speed ready for attack and were stuck hopelessly. A huge whale came, it was Moby-Dick. 3-minutes later we were being attacked. Harpoons flew here and there, soon (he monster was dead. That fleet was getting closer and closer. That evening an anti- sub blew up the reef, our ship was afloat again. Soon we were rescued by another ship, it was an aircraft carrier. Our adventure was over. Simon Leighton 3M Jonah Long long ago there was a man named .Jonah who did not want to be a prophet and God told Jonah in a dream that he must go to Ninevah and Jonah said why couldn ' t God send someone else and so Jonah went to the port of Jaffa. So Jonah went on a ship that was going to Tarshish in Spain. Jonah went to sleep in the hold and a storm came up and all the passengers were on deck praying to their gods. The Captain went to Jonah and said get up Jonah and get up on deck and pray to your god and so Jonah prayed to God. God said jump overboard and when he told the captain he said that ' s against regulations but they threw him overboard. A big fish swallowed him. Jonah was feeling bad and said I wish I had went to Ninevah and God said okay and Jonah saw a light and so he went out smelling fishy and he was on a beach and so he walked to Ninevah and he told them that they were going to be destroyed and so he was taken before the king. So he said to the govenor have a proclamation made, they must go on a fast and feel sorry for themselves and Jonah sat on a stone. A tree grew and died. God said why kill a city.

Mr. Ian Drummond gave recorder lessons to Class 3 boys this year. Some of his pupils entertained the school at assembly. Vegetables from our school garden (grown under Mr. Hopkin ' s supervision) were combined with those grown ui the Junior School and were awarded first place in the Primary Schools section at the Agricultural show. Miss Thompson ' s endemic tree seedlings won the National Trust Trophy, presented by the Deputy Governor. Carpeted Classrooms! A sale of fruit and nowers, organised by the Class Mothers, raised $363.50. The original intention was to carpet two sections of the Playroom, but since our request for fruit also mentioned the need for carpet, all the carpet needed was donated, in one case even laid professionalh free of charge. The money raised has been used to pay for laying one section of the Playroom, and for laying carpet tile donated by Mr. M. Drew in the Library and Class 2 rooms. This carpet will increase comfort during the winter and reduce noise level all the year round. W e are hoping to carpet the remaining upstairs rooms as further donations of the tile are offered.
