** __ ( __ **// __ An adaptation of a story by Geraldine McCaughrean) __ // Claurisa is spontaneous. She can do 10 cartwheels in a row. Hannah can write her name backwards without looking. Camille can speak three languages. But Mr du is boring. Priyanka can eat two pies in one minute. Duke has a wonderful smile. Jocelyn is as smart as a fox. But Mr du is boring. Jesse can swim twenty lengths. Keegan can eat a doughnut in less than a minute. Dylan can read for hours. But Mr du is boring. Maddie is talented. She can make people laugh. Young Jun is amazing because he can speak Korean. Savannah is incredible, she can do hip hop. But Mr du is boring. Rangipai is funny. Cole is amazing. He can spin bey blades. Isobel is good at njiago. But Mr du is boring. Erin is awesome because of her fashion sense. Amy can win races. Callum thinks he is the best because he can beat 11 year olds in the beep test. But Mr du is boring. Jeremy is can build a Lego Star Wars Clone Turbo tank in less than one day. Brendon can build an 8 metre square fort, which is a high luxury one, out of lego. Jalen is a master at building bionicles (he’s now finishing Molten Gears.) But Mr du is boring. Connor has a steady hand. Holly can make friends with animals. Rilloy is good at chess. But Mr du is boring. Mr du is boring a hole into our heads. He says it’s for our own good. He says that if he tunnels into our brains he’ll be able to see what’s going on there and help us with our learning. He says that we can fill up the hole with new thoughts that are cramped for space. He says it will give room for ideas to germinate and grow. So Mr du is boring. Goodness knows what he’ll do next. By Ruma Karaka
