Miaow there,

Sorry for my recent lack of blogging but I have been away on a couple of trips. While the school was hosting the Young Musicians of the Gulf (YMOG) here at school - many congratulations to all our students who participated - I was away at YMOGGY. This is an annual competition to find the best Young School Cat of the Year. I regret to tell you that I didn't win as I fell asleep during the 'Who has the Loudest Miaow' round but I had an excellent time all the same. I think Tigger from a school in Kuwait won but I fell asleeep during the presentation so I'm not sure.

I also went off skiing with students from Year 5 and 6 - they had invited me along as their mascot and I have to tell you - never again! The staff and students were great but that white stuff is freezing! I couldn't find any warm, sunny spots to nap in at all. I'm glad to be back in the sun I can tell you. If that wasn't enough, I also took a trip over to France to join some Senior School students on their history trip. We went to Eurodisney on one day - that Mickey has to be the largest mouse I've ever seen but the Eurodisney management weren't too impressed when I tried to eat him.

I was delighted to receive a visit from the Infant School councillors before the half term break. I made my case that I should be given more tuna as a matter of great urgency and they promised to take my request straight to Mr Goodwin.

Character Day is approaching and I have been asked to think about a costume. I won't mention the comedian who suggested I come as Lassie! Ha ha. I have also been appointed as Mr V's official trainer for his attempt to run the London Marathon in April. This is quite an easy job as it involves me lying in my basket outside the school gates, yelling at him to run faster as he does laps around the school grounds. Make sure you have downloaded his letter from the school website so you can support him. Talk to you later - have a great week.
