School holidays and a

visitor comes to stay

Everyone was really excited, only one more day at school before the summer holiday!

That morning the Captain had to blow his whistle to make everyone behave and settle down.

“Right,” said the Captain. “Let me see, what team do we need today? OK, Ollie, you have your school play, and I know you’re a bit nervous about that.” Nervous appeared peeking out from the duvet. “Don’t worry, Nervous. Come on, Brave, please hold Nervous’ hand.” Brave appeared and gave Nervous a big hug and stood beside him.

“Good,” said the Captain. “Now we also have a spelling test, so we will need Concentration and Calm to get us through that.” Both little superpowers appeared and winked at Ollie.

“Now what else – let me see what we are going to do with you, Excitement. I think we are going to have a problem with you today!”

At that, Excitement started getting bigger and bigger, and as he did Happy appeared and started getting bigger and bigger, and very soon Ollie, the Captain, Brave, Calm and Concentration were squashed in the corner!

The Captain blew his whistle, tapped Calm on the head, and Calm began to grow. As he did, Happy and Excited shrunk down to size.

“Oh dear, Calm,” said the Captain. “You are going to be busy with these two today!”
