Hi Gang! We've a fun-packed page for you this week with lots of news and a fab competition to win a family ticket to Monkey World in Dorset.

And it's conker time.

Have you been playing conkers with your friends?

I love it when they first come out of their green spikey cases all shiny and brown, looking like they have just been polished.

Hannah and Sarah Smith wrote to say thank you for the fantastic party they had at the Chicago Rock Caf.

Eight-year-old Hannah (418) won the party through the Journal Gang and was kind enough to share it with sister Sarah (419), who is five.

They invited lots of their friends and had an amazing time.

Glad you both enjoyed it, girls, and I love the picture you sent in.

Bye until next week.

Jill
