Got something to say? 100 word short story competition
Here’s something you can do at the start of your summer holidays if you’re age 13-18…
Think of something that matters to you and write 100 words about it. Send what you’ve done to the Paper Cuts competition on the Spinebreakers website. You could get published in a book and on the Spinebreakers website!
ChildLine is running the competition because they care about what you care about. You can write any way you want (eg story, poem, play, song lyrics) about anything you want. Be quick though: you need to send it in by 11 August 
Good luck: let us know how you get on!
What I’m doing tommorow
Tomorrow i have got the schools award ceremony and i got it for effort and improvement which is a silver plate. The good thing about an awards ceremony is that the people who went have the rest of the afternoon off, which is brilliant! But i don’t know what i will be doing with my mum and dad though.

The ideal teacher
In January, we set some young people from Glasgow a challenge. We asked them to come to our conference (a big event for people who work in education) and tell their ideas to the people at the conference. They rose to the challenge! In different groups, they made a talk, film and drama, which they showed to about 200 people on the day!
They also had some great discussions, and in my next few posts I’m going to tell you more about what they said. First, this is what they thought makes the ideal teacher…
The ideal teacher:
- happy
- intelligent
- approachable
- supportive
- honest
- kind heart - big heart
- positive feedback
- understanding
- funny
- caring
- fair - equality
- open minded
- respectful
- helpful
- inspiring
- patient
- calm
- light footed
- responsive
- grounded.
In the dustbin:
- angry
- flustered
- panicking
- sweating.
Do you agree? What do you think makes the ideal teacher?
warhammer The High Elves
The High Elves are allies to the Empire but enemies to the Dwarfs. They are an ancient people: only the leaders of the Lizardmen can claim to be older. Their arogece leaves them in comfrotation with the “younger races”. “The High Elves are exceptionally skilled warriors, graced with phenomenal precision and dexterity upon the battlefield. Their armies are glittering hosts of steadfast spearmen, deadly archers and proud cavalry. But with all their power, they could not prevent their island home of Ulthuan being devastated by natural disaster, or the bitter betrayal that left their civilisation greviously weakened. The Children of Ulthuan are now a race in their twilight, battling against extinction.” To visit The High Elves click here.

Is it working for you?
In Scotland, the law says if you need extra help (”additional support”) so you can get the most from school, you should get that help. Anyone can need extra help at some point, for all sorts of reasons.
There are things your school has to do to make sure you’re getting the help you need. Your parents, or you if you’re over 16, also get extra rights if you have additional support needs.
All of this is in a law called the Additional Support for Learning Act. This law has been around since 2005. Now the Scottish Government wants to find out if it’s working.
They’re thinking of changing some bits of the law, including things to do with:
- Making an appeal to the Additional Support Needs Tribunal.
- Going to school in a different area from where you live.
They also want to know what you think of this law in general.
You can:
- Leave a comment here and we’ll pass it on to the Scottish Government.
- Tell your parents/carer or someone at school what you think and ask them to fill out the form on the Scottish Government website.
- If you’re over 16, read the info and fill out the form on the Scottish Government website yourself (this is aimed at grown-ups and some of it is pretty complicated so don’t feel bad if you don’t understand it all)
If you want to know more about your rights and how to get help, contact us for free info and advice. That’s what we’re here for!
warhammer Dwarfs
The allies of the Empire are the dwarfs of the The Worlds Edge Moutains. Ruled by the High King and other Dwarf Kings. The Dwarfs were friends of the Empire ever since the Empire’s founder “Sigmar heldenhammer” rescued the Dwarf King Kurgan Ironbeard and in return the Dwarf King gave Sigmar the rune hammer Ghal Maraz.”The Dwarfs are the most tenacious and determined warriors of the Warhammer world. Their mountain holds are under constant pressure from Orcs, Goblins and Skaven so they must frequently march out to defend their homes and hoards. Even in defeat they record and remember every affront and will miss no opportunity to settle their grudges with the edge of an axe.”
“What they lack in numbers they more than compensate for with powerful war machines fashioned by their Engineers, with an ingenuity that goes far beyond any other race. Unwilling to use wild magic, they inscribe runes to bind it and thereby create weapons of legend, unparalleled anywhere in the Old World.”To find out about the dwarfs go to warhammer dwarfs website
