the most exciting because they ran very fast and someone
broke the record.”

New Teachers Come to Our School By Vincent Lau (5D) and Teddy Ma (5D)
n 3rd September, students saw many new teachers at Ho Yat Tung Primary School. There were six new
teachers. They were Mr. Ng Kit Yin, Mr. Li Siu Wa, Miss Cheung Yin, Miss Ko Yik Man, Miss Yim Li
Ching and Miss Yim Mung Sze.
Mr. Ng teaches Chinese and he is the class teacher of 5D. Mr. Li teaches Sports. Miss Cheung teaches Chinese
and she is the class teacher of 4D too. Miss Ko teaches English and General Studies, while Miss Yim Li Ching
teaches Maths and the Olympiad of Maths, and Miss Yim Mung Sze teaches music.
We asked Yankee Poon (5C) which teacher she liked best and why. She said, “Mr. Li, because I like P.E.
lessons. P.E. lessons are fun!”
We also asked Mr. Ng (the class teacher of 5D) if he liked Ho Yat Tung Primary School and why. Mr. Ng
said, “Yes, because Ho Yat Tung is the best school in Tuen Mun.”
All the new teachers like Ho Yat Tung because students are helpful, friendly, kind and hardworking. The
new teachers are friendly and funny. They help all the students.

n Tuesday 18th December, Ho Yat Tung
students had their first English Speaking
Day at school. They were quite excited about
it. Below is some background information about our
English Speaking Day.
English Speaking Days are held from
December to May.
They are held on
the third Tuesday
of every month.
Students speak
English during
recess and get
English passports
from their class
teachers. The students try their best to get stickers
from their teachers and prefects.
Our Native English Teachers, Mr. Young and
Mr. Wong, sold food at a “tuck shop”. Students
needed to use English to buy food at the tuck shop.
If students didn’t speak English, prefects would show
them yellow cards to tell them to speak English.
We interviewed Mr. Young to get more
information and found out Miss Kung suggested the
idea of English Speaking Day because teachers want
students to speak more English. All the teachers at
school were in charge of giving stickers.
“I enjoyed our first English Speaking Day
because I gave many yellow cards to my friends,” said
Yankee Poon (5C).

n 14th and 15th December, the Brownies and
the Boy Scouts went to Sai Kung Outdoor
Centre for their annual camping trip. All the
Brownies and Boy Scouts were very excited before
the trip because they would get a new badge for
camping.
They went with 5D’s class teacher, Mr. Ng,
Miss To from 5B, Miss Tang from 3C, Miss Lee from
1D and 1E, and the vice principal, Mr. Man. They took
a long time to get there by coach. When they arrived,
they put down their suitcases and started a treasure
hunt together.
At night, they ate dinner and went to
different places to have their free time. They could
go roller skating, play badminton, squash or other
games. They had a great time.
Chloe Lam
(5A) said, “I
loved the camp
v e r y m u c h
because I could
work together
with others and
have a good
time.”
Mr. Ng, 5D’s class teacher, said, “I was very
excited about the camp. I love working with the kids
very much.”
The Brownies and Boy Scouts are looking
forward to the camp next year. If you would like to
go camping with them, come and join the Brownies (if
you’re a girl) or the Scouts (if you’re a boy). Come and
join!

n 2012, students had lunch break activities at
Ho Yat Tung Primary School. Students have had
lunch break activities since last year. We have
attended a talk about how to protect the environment,
watched Putonghua cartoons, made some Christmas
handicrafts, played different kinds of chess and had
Mathematics competitions. There have been many
activities.
We think playing chess is the most interesting
because we can relax ourselves. Also, we can play with
our friends. We can all play together happily. It is good
to play games after lunch and before our lessons.

Native English Teacher, Mr. Young, would be Santa Claus. Actually, Mr. Li, the P.E.
teacher, was Santa Claus. He wore red clothes and carried a big bag of presents. He
gave many presents to the students.
Miss Yim, the music teacher, told all the students in 5A that Mr. Li wouldn’t
be the Santa Claus. Phoebe Yeung (5A) said she thought, “Mr. Young should be the
Santa Claus because he’s jolly.”
But Mr. Young said, “I think a real Santa Claus in Finland is the best.”
Kristy Chung (5D) said, “I think the most interesting part of the Christmas
party was seeing Mr. Li pretend to be Santa Claus.”
Students Have Exams
By Rain Au (5B) and Kenny Lim (6C)
n 15th January, all students had their first exams in Ho Yat Tung Primary
School. They had many subjects in the exams such as Chinese, English, Maths
and General Studies.
On the first day of the exam, we had a Chinese test. Everyone was very nervous
and worried because they thought all the questions would be very difficult. They were
unhappy. Isabelle Choy (5B) said, “The first exam was the most difficult in the whole year.”
On the second day, we had an English test. Some students thought the test would be very easy but
some thought it would be more difficult than Chinese. They were sad. Miss Kung said, “I think the test is very
easy. I hope you can get good marks.”
On the third day, we had a Maths test. Everyone was very relaxed because they are good with
numbers. It was the easiest test. Desmond Yau said, “I think the Maths test was easy because I’ve done a lot
of revision.”
On the last day of the exams, we had a General Studies test. Many students were not afraid of this
test because they had all done revision.

n 19th November, all the P.6 students in Ho
Yat Tung went to Lions Nature Education
Centre in Sai Kung. There are lots of things about
nature at Lions Nature Education Centre. Actually, the
school wanted us to know more about nature, so they
planned this trip. Most of the students loved this trip.
At 8:40 a.m., all of the P.6 students gathered in
the playground. They went to Lions Nature Education
Centre by school bus. All of the students were excited
and they chatted all the way there.
It was a lovely sunny day when the P.6 students
arrived. They took
out their cameras
and were ready to
take shots. Then,
some of the P.6
students went to
the rock classroom
and the rest
followed the teachers.
The P.6 students that followed the teachers
went to many different places. First, they went to the
Insectarium—a place that had different kinds of
strange insects such as grasshoppers, beetles, spiders,
butterflies, dragonflies and lots more. Also, they went
to the Butterfly Valley, which was full of butterflies.
They saw lots of colourful butterflies there. They took
lots of photos too.
They saw
many spec ia l
p l a n t s l i k e
camellias, azaleas
and water lilies.

reports about
them. “It was
really incredible!
P.6 Students Have Outdoor Learning Day
O I discovered a lot of interesting things about
nature. It was so cool and I will go there again,”
said Jessica Ko (6C).
Some of
the students
went to the
rock classroom.
They watched
videos and did
quizzes. “I went
to the rock
classroom and
made my own
fossils. It was so fun. We learnt a lot about rocks,”
said Cherry Lam (6D). We found out how you can
make your own fossil. First, mix some special
powder with water in a cup. Then, get a paper plate
with some dirt on it, and put a fake plastic lizard on
the dirt. Pour the mixture into the plate and wait
until the mixture is dry. Take the whole thing out
and use a brush to sweep away the dirt. Take out
the fake lizard and the fossil is done! All the
students in the rock classroom thought this was
fun and enjoyed it very much.
From this trip, the P.6 students learned a
lot about nature and plants. They knew that they
should protect the environment and love animals, or
else our beautiful home will be destroyed.

Poetry My Best Friends Forever
By Kristy Chung (5D)
The first day of school,
I am like a fully charged race car,
Zooming across the school hall.
Finding my friends in a dark hallway.
Chloe, as evil as Frankenstein,
Doing dangerous experiments.
Jimmy, a calculator without a USB,
Calculating as fast as lightning.
Faster than Einstein.
Isabelle—brave as a soldier.
Smarter than a dictionary.
Cuter than Hello Kitty, attracting boys around.
All friends and enemies around
the world,
Playing with video games and
dolls.
It’s not boring, though.
It’s very simple,
You just play and play.
When Angry Antony Went to the
Supermarket By Rachel Ng (6B)
Angry Antony went to the supermarket
To buy food.
Imagine his surprise when he saw
Octopus orange juice,
Which smelled like shoes.
He tried the salty salmon sausages,
They tasted as soft as bandages.
He was very surprised
Because there was a dish called
Flying Fish Fried with Files!
“Who would like to try shrimp flavoured ice-cream?”
shouted a seller,
Antony thought this supermarket was terrible.
He was hungry and angry
Because all kinds of food were not yummy.
Antony bought the gummies that were coloured blue,
“Oh no! They are made of glue!”
He fought with the seller,
And the police took him to jail.
Foolish Ficky Mouse went to the flat,
To see all the scary things in the flat.
Imagine his surprise when he realized he was very
foolish.
When Foolish Ficky was in the flat,
Ficky sat on the crazy cat.
And jumped on the crocodile chair,
Then the crocodile blew out smelly air!
Foolish Ficky found the useless umbrella,
On his head, he found some cola!
Ficky went to the toilet,
And turned the terrible tap,
He was saved because of his crispy cap!
He wanted to play a computer game,
He thought a fool and this computer game were the
same.
Cop Cop Game was the computer game—what an ugly
name!
He saw the tiny teddy bear,
It cried lots and lots of tears,
Which were very clear.
Foolish Ficky lived in the flat forever.
“I have had a good day!”
Is what he would say.

School Life By Rain Au (5B)
When I go to school in the morning,
I line up like a scout,
As tidy as a cat.
When I have lessons,
I am sleepy like a pig.
I have a good dream about food.
When I have recess,
I play with friends.
I’m as happy as if I had ten billion dollars.
When recess is going to end,
I think time has gone as fast as a rocket.
I need to have lessons—sleepy again.
When I have lunch,
I eat as slow as a snail.
Everyone laughs at me.
When I need to be on duty,
I shout like a policeman.
The teachers like me.
When I go home,
I am as excited as if I had the most money
in Hong Kong.
I am ready to go home.
When Crazy Chloe Went to the Cave By Miranda Yeung (4B)
Crazy Chloe went to the cave,
To see the animals.
Crazy Chloe saw a cave,
She jumped in and didn’t jump out,
She jumped high and touched the sky,
She jumped low and touched the floor.
She jumped and jumped,
She jumped into the zoo cave.
She saw the quiet quail and orange octopus,
The mini monkey and the lazy lion.
Her mum said, “Come out and let’s go home.”
But she never came out.
She saw a big bee and a crazy cat,
A red rabbit and a pink pig.
Her father said, “Come out and let’s go home.”
But she never came out.
She saw a big black bear and green grass.
Mum and Dad said, “Come out, come out!
We are going back home.”
She said, “Okay, okay. I will come out.”
She came out but her parents had gone away.
She cried and cried and cried,
But it was no use,
Because now she needed to live in that cave forever.
Josy, Ray and Ally By Isabelle Choy (5B)
It was an ordinary day for Josy. She would
have a singing concert. She was only nineteen years
old but she was already the most popular singer and
actress in Hong Kong. Her eyes were big and bright,
and she had long black hair. She had two cats. The
cats liked her so much.
On that day, she would sing with her
boyfriend, Ray. They fell in love when Josy was
eighteen years old. Josy had a best friend, Ally.
They would shop, swim, sing and dance together. It
9 Kaleidoscope January 2013 Creative Writing
was also Josy’s birthday on that day. She would be
twenty years old. She celebrated with Ally and
Josy.
About five years later, Josy was a full-
fledged woman. She was already a movie star. She
was also kind and helpful. But Ally had done bad
things to be a popular movie star. Sometimes, she
even hated Josy because Josy was the most
popular movie star. Ally’s personality had changed.
She was a bad person now. Everyone didn’t know
Ally was bad except for Josy. Josy was sad and
disappointed about Ally becoming a bad person.
Josy thought of ways to make Ally better every
day. But Ally wouldn’t get better.
Although Josy had many fans, she wasn’t
happy. Ray was worried about Josy because she
would sleep late every night, thinking of ways to
make Ally better. Ally always did bad things with
the worst guy in Hong Kong, Chris. Josy was so
worried.
One day, Ray found out that Ally had done
bad things with Chris. He told the police. Suddenly,
Ally went with Chris to find Ray. They all argued
with each other. Then, no one could find Ray. Josy
was very sad and she always looked for Ray.
Finally, one day, she found Ray near the sea
and they had a good life together, forever.
Susan’s Day By Phyllis Cheng (5A)
It was a
special day for
Susan Chan. She
could play in the
playground for a
w h o l e d a y
because it was
Sunday. She had
long hair, a pair
of beautiful eyes
and long feet like pencils. She was very lovely,
kind, beautiful and cheerful, so many people liked
her very much. She liked reading books, skipping
and playing with her friends and eating chocolate
and chicken wings. Therefore, her teeth were not
healthy. She sometimes went to the market too.
Her mother thought that if Susan helped her to
choose the food, the food would all be fresher
than what she chose.
On that day, they had some visitors
coming to Susan’s home, so Susan needed to help
her mum to choose the food and prepare the
house, so she couldn’t go to the playground. Then
she said, “Mum, next week you need to allow me to
have one day to skip helping you. Therefore, next
week I will have two days to play! Ha ha!”
After that, she played and talked with
the visitors. She played happily with them and she
really enjoyed that day. Her mother thought, “If
I have more parties, she will be very happy but I
will need to give her more days off! Oh, I think I
have a good idea where I do not need to give her
extra days off!”
Susan’s mum told another classmate to go
to the next party because Susan only wanted to
play with her friends. So, Susan’s mum didn’t have
to give Susan any extra days off!

Bighead Maker By Jimmy Fung (5D)
It was a very amazing day for Bighead
Maker. Actually, it started as an ordinary day but
it turned into an amazing day after this
happened…
Bighead Maker didn’t need to go to school
today because it was a holiday. On Planet Cratex
27, everyone was very normal except him. He felt
very strange with his big head, curly whiskers and
the tools on his head.
He was walking to the factory that made
chairs. The people on the streets saw him but
didn’t say hello to him. They whispered and ran
away from him.
When he arrived at the factory, he saw
the workers, smelled the wood and heard the
sounds of whispering. When the people saw him,
he tiptoed away. Then, Bighead looked into the
mirror. He saw something strange. His head had
become tiny!
Then the Lord appeared and said, “Oh, I’m
sorry, Bighead. I made you the wrong size.” Then
with a dash of the Lord’s wing, Bighead had a
normal sized head again!
Now, he was very happy and everything
was normal again.
Little D By Vincent Lau (5D)
It was an ordinary day for Little D. Little D
was a dog. He had little short hands and feet, a
table for a body, eggplant ears and two badminton
rackets for ears. He was one year old and he
weighed one kilogram. He was sporty, clever and he
liked to eat very much. He was sporty because he
liked to play badminton, run and jump. He was
clever because he knew how to make robot shoes.
He liked to eat a lot, especially lots of very spicy
curry bread and bowls of rice. Also, he needed to
run away from Big Pig Pig every day because Big Pig
Pig liked to try and eat Little D.
Little D lived in a new badminton court.
Little D liked this badminton court very much
because every day he could play badminton with his
older brother Little E. The badminton court was in
a village. It was very quiet. He could hear the
sounds of a river and it also smelled good. He could
smell fish and vegetables. The badminton court was
very big. It had a net and the court was light blue.
Little D called his brothers to come as well.
He called Little A, Little B, Little F, Little H, Little
G, Little X and Little K. They played badminton
together. At last, Little D, Little F, Little H and
Little X won, but Little A, Little B, Little G and
Little K lost.
Finally, they went to their home together
and they were very glad.

Sally and the Mice By Yankee Poon (5C)
It was an ordinary day for Sally. She was a 10-year-old girl.
She lived near Tuen Mun Hospital. She was fat, had big teeth and a
broken leg. She was lazy, silly and crazy. She liked to sleep and eat
sweets. She always hobbled because of her broken leg.
She often went to the bedroom and kitchen. Her bedroom
was very, very big with a big, big bed. It smelled very bad. She
would sleep and sleep until she felt hungry. She never had a proper
breakfast, lunch or dinner. She only had sweets. Her kitchen was full of sweets. It smelled great.
One day, she crawled to the kitchen and took the candy. She hobbled to her bedroom and limped onto
her bed. She fell asleep in her bed and never woke up again. No one knew until her body became smelly and her
parents found that she had died. But it was too late because her body had been eaten by mice!
Rosetta Bloom—Fairy Ballerina By Phoebe Yeung (5A)
It was an ordinary day for Rosetta Bloom, the 12-year-old star ballerina. Her diamond-blue wings
shimmered in the sunlight. Her peach-pink skin, dazzling blonde hair and sapphire blue eyes made her the most
charming ballerina in the world of fairies and pixies. She was so popular that everyone wanted to sit with her
during lunchtime when she was in elementary school.
But when she opened her mailbox to check her mail, her life totally changed. There
was a letter from Crystal Star Dancing Academy, the most famous dancing academy in the
world. She untied the red silk ribbon, opened the purple envelope and gasped. She would be
going to the academy when school started! She looked at her calendar. That was the day
after tomorrow! Hurriedly, she fluttered to her bedroom and started packing her things.
It was the day school would start. When Rosetta arrived at the academy, she felt amazed; she had
never seen such a grand school before! The principal warmly welcomed her and led her to the assembly hall.
Some of the new students recognised Rosetta and cried, “Rosetta Bloom is here!” The hall was full of “Oohs”
and “Aahs” when she arrived.
Suddenly, they heard some footsteps approaching. It was a… troll! Everyone
screamed except for brave Rosetta and the teachers. Rosetta told everyone to go away first.
Everyone fled at once. Rosetta flew out of the hall and played a game of tag with the troll
and led him to the school field. Then, she flew around in circles. Some other fairies joined
Rosetta’s act. They flew round and round until the troll felt dizzy and fell down. Rosetta
twirled and pirouetted in the air, cast some magic, and the troll was dead. (Of course, the
body stank.) Everyone shouted, “Hurray!”
At the academy ball, Rosetta was asked to perform. The smell of rose perfume spread all over the place.
Rosetta’s wings sparkled in the light. Her tiara twinkled as she curtsied. At the end of the performance,
everyone clapped. That was a really special day for Rosetta… And for everyone else as well!

My Adventure By Veronica To (5B)
Hello, everybody! I am a $10 bill. Here I am in a
bank. I am happy. Let me tell you about my exciting and
scary adventure.
One year ago, I had a good owner. I lived in his
wallet. It was big and comfortable. I had many brothers
and sisters, such as $1 and $2 coins and $20 bills. We
always talked together.
One day, our owner bought an ice cream. He
took me out to buy an ice cream. I was happy that I
could change owners. But after that moment, I felt
guilty. This new owner always went gambling. Unluckily,
my new owner lost a bet. I changed owner again.
This owner was even worse than the second
owner. He always threw things. He got angry easily.
After half a year, he threw me and the other bills out
of the window.
Then, I floated up to the sky. I was happy that
I could go away from the third owner. But there was an
airplane that glided up to me. The airplane hit me. I got
hurt. I was dirty too. I fell down in the sea.
I floated and floated for about three months. I
floated to the beach. A boy who was making sandcastles
saw me. He took me to the police station.
The policeman took me to the bank. I saw my
brothers and sisters that I had in my first owner’s
wallet. All of us cried with joy.
And we lived happily ever after.
My Crazy Day By Kenny Lim (6C)
I am a $10 bill. I was in Kai Bo
Supermarket and I lived happily with the other
$10, $20 and $50 bills. Life was interesting for
me. I liked to sleep and talk to the other bills. I
also ate coins and cockroaches when I was
hungry.
One week ago, my owner got me from the
bank, went to the supermarket and used me to
buy a toy gun for his son. The shopkeeper then
put me into the black box in the cash register.
One day, some naughty boys stole me
from the supermarket. I saw people walking in
the street with their pets. Then, I arrived at
their home. I felt lonely because I didn’t have
any friends there. The boys used crayons to draw
dome things on my body. I became very ugly. I
cried because I wanted to play with my friends in
the supermarket.
Luckily, they used me to buy candies in
the supermarket. I saw all my bill friends in the
money box again and said, “Hello.” I don’t want
these bad things to happen to me again.

Tom’s $10 Bill By Alison Lei (6B)
I am a $10 bill. I live in Tom’s purse. In the beginning, I didn’t think he was a person because he has a
clock on his body and his hands are two chopsticks, but I think he’s a person now because he knows how to
talk.
Today, Tom wanted to buy a bag of potato chips so he gave me to the shop staff. After the staff put
me into the box, I saw there were $20 bills, $50 bills and $100 bills. “You are so smelly. Why are you so
smelly?” asked the $20 bill.
“I am smelly because the staff’s hands are smelly,” I answered.
Suddenly, I heard some noises. “I am smarter than you!” said the
$50 bill.
“No, I am smarter than you!” said the $100 bill.
After a few minutes, they fought together. Then, I thought I saw
an alien come and buy a bottle of water. Since the bottle of water was
$10 and he gave $20, the staff gave me to the alien. I thought his hands
were very wet and disgusting. When I saw his face, I found out he was
actually Tom’s dad, Elder Tom.
After he went back home, he gave a $500 bill and me to Tom because Tom got $510 every month.
Finally, the $500 bill and I returned to Tom’s purse and I felt very bored because I had returned to Tom’s
purse so many times already!

Little Yellow Chick By Selby Ho (5A)
It was an ordinary day for Little Yellow Chick. He was
fat and he had yellow fur. He liked eating pudding very much.
Every day, he went to the supermarket to buy pudding and
slept in a bird cage.
One day, it was Little Yellow Chick’s
birthday. He was happy, so he went to the
supermarket but this time, the supermarket
smelled like a rubbish bin. But he didn’t
care. He just thought about pudding. He
went in front of the huge pudding, and it
was free! Little Yellow Chick was very
happy. He took it back home.
At home, he ate the pudding. Suddenly, he felt that his
body was getting bigger and bigger. He broke the bird cage and
he ate the left over pudding, but he tripped over something and
lay down.
He woke up. It was just a dream. No broken bird cage
and no huge, free pudding!

My Adventure By Zero Fung (6B)
I am a one thousand dollar bill. I lived in
Hang Seng Bank with other bills happily. There
were customers, bank managers and bank tellers.
The bank tellers always argued with customers.
The bank smelled good because we were spiced. I
was very happy every day.
But one day, a strong and tall woman came
to the counter and asked for me. The bank teller
got me and gave me to the woman. Oh, no! I had to
leave the bank! I felt sad and hopeless. My life in
“heaven” was ending. The woman put me in her
wallet. There was an
I.D. card, Octopus
card, library card and
so on. The woman was
called Candy. When we
arrived at Candy’s
home, she took me out carefully and kissed me.
Her home was big. There were televisions,
computers, and a sofa. She put me on a wooden
table and it was really hard. After an hour, she
put me in her pocket and went to the
supermarket with me.
When we were on our way to the
supermarket, a guy walked towards us and stole
me! Candy was surprised and shocked. She
chased after the thief immediately. I tried to
get out of the thief’s hand but I failed. The
thief held me even tighter.
After a while, the thief got tired but
Candy was still chasing him. The thief ran to an
empty street and stopped and turned back with
a gun. Candy was
s c a r e d a n d
regretted chasing
after me. But she
didn’t run away.
All of a sudden,
she rushed to the
thief and he
dropped his gun. The thief was surprised. Candy
got hold of me but the thief didn’t let me go.
They both pulled me. I was very scared and in
pain. I wanted to scream but I couldn’t. Finally,
they tore me in half. The thief was scared and
didn’t know what to do. Candy was scared and
she cried. She called the police. After that, she
hit the thief and made him faint. She held me in
her hands and cried. She went home before the
police came.
The next day, she buried me and cried.

floor was rough. Suddenly, there was a wind and it blew
me into a drain. It was very smelly and I saw some of
my friends—$10 coins. “What a pity!” I said, “There is a
heavy rain!” and we went into a big sea. Oh, the water
was cold and salty. I floated on the sea. There were
some dirty plastic bags too.
Without warning, there was a
massive tsunami. The tsunami
crashed onto me and I went
towards the Atlantic Ocean.
There, I sank to the bottom of
the sea.
A few years later, there was a big blue ship. The
fishermen wanted to catch a lot of fish and they caught
me too. They caught me
with a net. I could see
many different kinds of
fish on the fishing boat. I
was very wet too. I heard
a fisherman say, “Let’s
eat all the fish tonight
and use this $1000 bill!”
They dried me and used
me to buy things. Then, I was in a supermarket. I hoped
this was not the beginning of another scary trip!
because I believed the Science Group,” said Julia
Watson (6D). The students became hard-working
again.
The tuck shop staff said that they found
the lollipops in the food storage room. The
Science Group told the staff to be careful with
unknown food or throw it away. They also warned
students never to eat anything that had Butterkly
inside because there is a chemical inside that will
make someone lazy.
Now, the Science Group is using a chemical
called, ‘Fly Fly Drops’, made by the juice of the
Flying Dragon’s wings to destroy the lollipops.
They need to be careful with the lollipops because
when the lollipops touch the ‘Fly Fly Drops’, they
will explode.
Also, the police are finding out who is
behind this. They believe the criminal, The Baddie,
sneaked into the food storage room at night while
everyone was asleep. The lollipops were made in a
factory named WaGaSaLa Lollies, which is in
South America. But no one has ever seen who
manages the factory or knows his name. The
people there just call him, Mr. Lolly Spooky. The
police are searching for the man that manages the
factory and the man who sneaked into the food
storage room.
The principal wanted to thank the Science
Group’s students, so each of them got an
‘Outstanding Student’ medal.

Use a Magic Pencil and You Can
Get Good Marks! By Mavis Yeung (6C)
On 7th November, students in Ho Yat Tung
Primary School got their test papers. Everyone was
so surprised and they screamed and shouted and
yelled as loud as lions roaring. Why? Because of
their high marks!
It was big and surprising news for all the
students and teachers, and even for the social
workers! They were curious about it and they found
out some important things. All the students in Ho
Yat Tung Primary School used the same kind of
pencil from the same company. Everyone called
them, “Magic Pencils”. They were really magic
pencils but we couldn’t find out how the company
made and sold them.
“I got this pencil before the test. It was in
my hamster’s cage and it was really strange that it
was there. It was quite pretty so I took it and used
in the test,” said Glory Kuk (6D), seriously.
Another pupil in class 6C, Coby Choi, told
us, “It was the best pencil I have ever used! When
I was answering the questions with the Magic
Pencil, I just got all the answers and wrote them
down quickly. I loved it very much!” She laughed
happily after that.
Students all got good marks, even 100
marks, in the test. Therefore, Ho Yat Tung Primary
School became the best school in Hong Kong. The
Magic Pencil also became a famous pencil in school.
However, some teachers wanted to destroy the
pencils. “It is impossible! Students will just use this
pencil and be lazy. We can’t have this pencil!” said
Miss Chan with an angry face.
Why did the Magic Company sell these
pencils? How could they make them? And the big
question—what is the secret behind them?
The Magic Company was not a very famous
company before they sold this kind of pencil. Just
a few people who knew about this company. So,
they decided to make the unique pencil. They
wanted their company to become more famous and
popular so that they could earn a lot of money.
The founder of the Magic Company, Mr.
John Thomson, was very rich. He built his company
on the top of the mountain. He spent a lot of
money to buy machines. They used many kinds of
huge machines and added some strange medicine
that they made in their own factory.
The most important point is the
mysterious secret behind Magic Pencils. There are
two special ingredients and the workers mixed
them together. Then, they became one of the
poisons named “Smarty Smart”. It can make
people smart and clever just like a robot. They
knew all the answers in tests and got good marks.
That’s why everyone could get good grades.
Finally, Magic Pencil is a poisonous pencil.
So, we are going to tell you, “Don’t use them
anymore!” Students should study hard before
their tests and do their best!
