Welcoming<br />
Whitehouse Primary<br />
School Writers<br />
Welcome to our writer’s in residence who all come<br />
from Whitehouse Primary School. We are really<br />
proud of the achievements of these young writers.<br />
They wanted a challenge and they’ve had one -<br />
going round town testing and tasting, researching<br />
and finding jokes to make us laugh! In this edition,<br />
we are celebrating two of our writers - Valerie and<br />
Francesca. Cesar’s jokes are so funny! We hope you<br />
like their writing as much as we do.<br />

Valerie, Writer<br />
in Residence<br />
My name is Valerie and I am 9 years old. I enjoy<br />
swimming, tennis and football as they are my<br />
favourite sports. I also enjoy being in School<br />
Council since I am a great role model and I love<br />
representing the school. One of my favourite things<br />
is writing because it is really easy and you don’t<br />
need to be good at anything to do it. My favourite<br />
books are the David Walliams books for they<br />
are interesting and funny. My favourite ones are<br />
Gangsta Granny, The Midnight Gang and Bad Dad.<br />

History of Doughnuts<br />
Did you know that the original name for doughnut<br />
is actually ‘olykoeks?’ This originates from Holland.<br />
It is rumoured that doughnuts were invented by a<br />
cow! There are several claims to the creation of the<br />
doughnut. It’s said that a clumsy cow kicked a pot of<br />
oil into some pastry dough. In 1892 Kathy Lanes made<br />
a bun. Her children made a hole in the bun and called<br />
it a doughnut. In New York on January 24 1993 the<br />
largest doughnut was made it weighed 1.7 tons. It was<br />
a jelly doughnut. In recent years, doughnuts have come<br />
increasingly popular and we now have shops solely<br />
dedicated to them. Happy Doughnut Week!!<br />

Francesca, Writer<br />
in Residence<br />
My name is Francesca and I am in Year 6. My<br />
favourite subject is English because I love learning<br />
new words and vocabulary from reading. My<br />
favourite books so far that I have read are: the<br />
“Nevermoor” series, the “Murder Most Unladylike<br />
series’’, and, of course, ‘Harry Potter.’ I also consider<br />
myself quite funny as I love stupid jokes (I even<br />
own a book called: Smarties’ Book of Stupid Jokes!)<br />
Chocolate is my favourite food, excluding Nutella,<br />
which I love more than anything in the world!<br />
