Did you have to write your 'news' when you were at primary school?

Mine used to be really predictable - thing is, I knew it was predictable.

Usually, I went to Wood Green with my parents on Saturdays to go shopping. On one occasion we didn't and I remember beginning by saying "This Saturday we didn't go to Wood Green".

Yes I found one of these I did at school the other day, it had sub-heads and bullet points and a CONCLUSION and points about conservation and ecology, and was about 12 pages long!

hmm, i never really went on holiday in primary school.

i vaguely remember writing a 'what i did at the weekend' piece about sitting in the carpark of a pub.

I remember going to a parents' evening at my daughter's primary school when she was about six, and in her "News Book" she had carefully written

DADDY BITES MY BOTTOM

and i remember having to draw a picture with it.
i looked at the girls picture siting next to me and i noticed she'd drawn exhaust fumes coming out of a car like this

=3=3=3=3=3=3

and I then i assumed that we had to draw pictures that included maths symbols in them, so i just drew a quick car with the same exhaust fume effect in my picture before handing it in.

I got in trouble for writing about the time when my next door neighbour died, mostly because I didn't really understand death and had drawn a picture of his wife standing crying over a prostrate crayon skeleton. My teacher made me tear the page out of my news book.

Go and stand in the corner and think about what you've just said, Ste

I once kept a chrysalis in a jar and eventually (and predictably) a butterfly emerged. When I wrote this in my news I naturally went to ask the teacher how to spell 'chrysalis'. Whether she misheard me or whether she was helping out another child who'd been to see a panto I'm not entirely sure but whatever happened I ended up with a story which read:

I kept a Cinderella in a jar and it turned into a butterfly.

I'd love to actually have been told "Go and stand in the corner and think about what you've just said" at school, if only to come back from the corner and say to the teacher "I've thought about it and come to the conclusion that my actions were right all along".

my friend was sent to stand in the corner and he shouted out, 'i may be standing up but inside i'm sitting down.'
