From Isaac Bugeja, eight, of Attard
Dear Junior News, this is a letter about my birthday party. It was August 18 and it was my birthday and soon we went for my friend Nicholas. After we got him we had to go to a pool. Later that day we got some food cause we were hungry. Then we went for a little swim and then everyone gave me presents. Afterwards we all went home.

That sounds like a really fun birthday Isaac. It's always nice to celebrate a birthday with friends. We hope your letter will give other people the idea to write about the different ways they celebrate special occasions. We're printing your picture here too. And you've won a Lm 5 voucher and VIP Toyland's discount card for sending this week's star letter.

From the twins, Diane and Karen Brisco, 11, of Swieqi.
Dear Junior News, we are writing just to say that we really have fun reading this newspaper for us children. There are beautiful prizes for each competition and the questions are mind working. Our favourite competition is the Gallery competition. We love drawing and would really appreciate it if you could show one of our drawings in Junior News.

During the week we really look forward to going to grandma's on Wednesdays. We have won beautiful prizes. Anyway we thank you for everything and for the wonderful prizes that you give each and every competition winner.

It sounds as if your grandma keeps Junior News for you so we her owe her a thank you and also you, Karen and Diane, for writing. The prizes come from our competition sponsors but as we're sure they read Junior News too, they will see your thanks. And your pictures are in the Gallery file to be printed as soon as possible.
