village on the coast. The real attraction in this place

stunning. There’s a huge sandy beach just below it
- what a shame it’s freezing today! I went round the
castle this morning. It was fascinating, but really
crowded with tourists.
Yesterday I went to the island of Lindisfarne. You
can walk over to it when the sea is out, but I had to
leave before it came back in at 4 o’clock!

Hi Sam!
I saw Life o f P i with Amy yesterday. We chose this film because it
was the only new film in 3D. My dad recommended it.
It’s based on a book by Yann Martel about an Indian boy whose
family has a zoo. He ends up in a small boat in the middle of the
sea, with ... a tiger! The ending is strange ... but you should see it
yourself.
The special effects were amazing. The 3D was better than in most
film s and they made the tiger look so real. Amy jumped once when
the tiger appeared suddenly, but she loved the film too. Everyone
I’ve spoken to thought it was great. So try and see it.
See you soon,
Jack

On Saturday 12th September we’ll have a ‘bakeathon’.
We’re going to spend the whole day baking cakes and
selling them to the public on the street outside. It doesn’t
matter if you haven’t baked cake before - we’ve got
some easy recipes, and it’ll be great fun.
We’re hoping we’ll be able to raise at least thousand
pounds during the day. It sounds a lot, but if you all will
: come and help, it won’t be too difficult to reach that amount.
Send us an email using link below if you want to take

Looking forward to us all mixing together!

Hi Andrew!
Have you heard about the vandalism at the local skate park?
Apparently, the council were building a new ramp there and they’d
left some tools in a lorry. It seem s the vandals broke into the lorry
and used the tools to smash all the other ramps.
The council want to close the park now because it will cost too
much to repair. I’m really angry about this - it’s so unfair! Should
all young people suffer because of the stupid behaviour of a few?
The skate park is the only place to go around here. Without it,
teenagers would get bored and cause more trouble.
