Sigmund's
Sandwich

When Scott swaps sandwiches with Sigmund at lunch one day, he finds Sigmund's sandwich is filled iwth a disgusting green paste. Annoyed, he puts it into his schoolbag and later, he lazily throws it into his bedroom cupboard at home, instead of putting it into the bin. But Sigmund's sandwiches aren't like everyone else's and one night, something weird begins to happen, inside Scott's cupboard!

Kevin desperately wants to be a famous chef when he grows up. When he finds an old microwave oven at a junk sale, he buys it and sets up a kitchen in his parents' garage. Sadly, every time he cooks with the microwave, his recipes come out smelling and looking awful. Then a strange little lady appears in the garage and explains what the problem is.

Joan of Arc
A non-fiction page that tells the story of the famous and brave Joan of Arc, who lived in France almost six hundred years ago. Some of you might find this page great research material for a school project (just don't copy it though - write your own project!). Others may just enjoy reading a fascinating story of action and adventure that really did happen.
