DO EXAMS. MAKE YOU SHUDDER?

Little People: "Exams are in the air" said Letterbox Elf this morning, wrinkling his button nose just as though he could sniff exams as easily as flowers, or smoke, or waffles. "And when exams are about there are fewer letters in the box!" These are important days at school . . . the end of the second term .. . . with fathers and mothers waiting to know how you've done. But you don't mind exams, do you? After all, they are only tests of knowledge, and you should enjoy them as much as mother, father, and the older members of your families enjoy Knowledge Tests. Try to think of your exams as a game of questions and answers, and think out the best answers you can give. We hope you all come top . . . or very nearly. And now the results of the Snow%Queen painting competition! The first prize was ivon by Shirley Pinny, Lower Hutt (aged 12). Shirley's picture was very carefully tinted. Her colours were well chosen and every tiny detail was remembered. The second prize winner, Barbara Holm, Thorndon (aged 11), has used her imagination in painting a background of snow-capped mountains and an original border design. A gaily-coloured mountain village made the setting for Audrey Steed's Snow Queen. Audrey, who ivins third prize, is eleven years old and lives at Hataitai. Congratulations to these three pixies and to all the others who tried! My love to every elf. FAIRIEL. P.S.—A very important reminder, Ring People! Bird Page is not far off now, so storymakers and artists may begin to send in their work. — F.
