A day spent at Taunton's WinterFest

Our story kicks off in the wild, untamed land of social media—a realm as chaotic and unpredictable as a dragon in a china shop. Picture 14-year-old Ilya, a digital adventurer with the bravery of a knight and the curiosity of a cat, blasting out friend requests to anyone whose name looked even remotely interesting. Among these names was Ekaterine’s, a 13-year-old with a reputation for blocking random requests like a pro. But fate had other plans. For reasons only the cosmos truly understands, Ekaterine decided to accept Ilya’s request. Their first conversation? Well, let’s just say it was as graceful as a troll in ballet slippers. Ilya, ever the creative soul, spun a tall tale about being a fan of the band featured in Ekaterine’s profile picture—a tale as true as a dragon's promise to never hoard gold. Despite the wobbly start, their chat turned into something surprisingly real, blossoming over years of friendly banter. And thus, their story began, with occasional interruptions from the capricious forces of fate.

There was heavy rain outside the window. A little girl named Lola looked out the window. It was dark outside and almost nothing was visible because of the rain. Suddenly she heard the door creak, her closet opened, and strange sounds began to come from it. The girl got scared and climbed onto the bed and hid under the blanket. Curiosity took over and the girl looked out, and she saw a kind monster who closed the window, which opened due to the strong wind, and waved his hand at her. Now Lola knew that she had her own kind monster in her closet.

How Maya helped a lost puppy find it's home

1. In a small peaceful forest, there lived a white rabbit named Cici. Cici's fur was as white as snow, glistening in the sunlight, and always neat. All the animals in the forest admired Cici's beauty, and she knew it. But unfortunately, the compliments made her arrogant 2. Cici often walked around the forest just to show off her beauty. "Look at my soft fur," she said to a turtle named Kiki. "No one can match my beauty!" She also often made fun of other animals. When she saw a turtle walking slowly, Cici said, "You are not only slow, but also ugly." 3. One day, a butterfly (Lulu) approached Cici. "Outer beauty is not enough, Cici. A good heart is more important," said Lulu wisely. However, Cici only laughed mockingly. "You are just jealous, Lulu. I am perfect!" 4. However, Cici's life changed when the rainy season arrived. The ground became muddy and soggy. When Cici walked, her fur became dirty and no longer looked shiny. No one complimented her beauty anymore. Cici felt ashamed and began to avoid her friends. 5. One afternoon, Cici heard a small voice asking for help. She saw the turtle she had teased before stuck in the mud. Although she was hesitant at first because she was afraid that her fur would get dirtier, Cici finally decided to help. She jumped into the mud and pulled the turtle out with difficulty. 6. The turtle smiled and thanked her. “You may be dirty now, Cici, but your heart shines brighter than ever.” 7. Since then, Cici began to change. She was no longer arrogant about her beauty, but became a friendly and helpful rabbit. And strangely enough, even though her fur was often not as perfect as before, she felt happier because now she was appreciated not for her appearance, but for her kindness.

Pollinator Pals: Lily's Adventure in the Garden Once upon a time, in a cozy little town, there lived a curious girl named Lily. Lily loved eating fruits, especially juicy strawberries, crunchy apples, and sweet blueberries. One sunny afternoon, while munching on a strawberry, Lily wondered, "How are these yummy fruits made?" Determined to find out, Lily set off on an adventure to her grandmother's garden. As she wandered among the flowers, she met a dazzling butterfly with shimmering wings. "Hello there! I'm Sparkle the Butterfly. You look curious. How can I help you?" said Sparkle with a friendly flutter. "Hi, Sparkle! I'm Lily. I love fruits, but I don't know how they are made. Can you teach me?" asked Lily. Sparkle's wings sparkled even more with excitement. "Of course, Lily! Fruits come from plants, and plants need pollinators like me to help them make fruits. Let me show you how it works." Sparkle led Lily to a beautiful flower. "This is where it all begins," said Sparkle. Look inside the flower, Lily! That tiny, powdery yellow dust in the middle of the flower is called pollen. Pollen needs moves from one flower to another for plants to make seeds, which grow into fruits But how does the pollen move from flower to flower? asked Lily curiously.

When a mysterious golden key appears on Mr. C’s desk, Rose, Adrian M., and Aaliyah are the only ones who see it shimmer. The key hums with energy, and when they touch it together, the classroom transforms into a swirling tunnel of light. They land in Civicara, a magical city where buildings float, roads rearrange themselves, and glowing symbols represent the rules that keep everything running smoothly. Guided by Archivus, a wise owl-like guardian of Civicara, the trio embarks on a quest to restore balance to the city. The Laws of Light that keep streets safe are flickering, the Fountains of Health that provide clean water and care have stopped flowing, and the Flame of Service—which powers the firefighters' and sanitation workers’ abilities—is dimming. Without these forces, the city is falling into chaos. To set things right, Rose, Adrian, and Aaliyah must visit different parts of Civicara: The Hall of Laws, where they learn how fair rules protect everyone and must fix a broken law book. The Healing Gardens, where they help magical doctors and learn about health and safety. The Service Forge, where they work alongside magical sanitation workers, firefighters, and teachers to restore the Flame of Service. Through teamwork, problem-solving, and courage, the three friends bring Civicara back to harmony. When they return to Mr. C’s classroom, they realize their own community is just as important—every worker, rule, and service helps keep their world running. And just maybe, if they listen closely, they can still hear the hum of the golden key, reminding them that they have the power to make a difference.

Es war einmal ein kleines Mädchen namens Lilli, das in einem gemütlichen Haus am Waldrand lebte. Lilli hatte ein ganz besonderes Geschenk: Sie trug in ihrem Herzen einen Regenbogen, der ihre Gefühle zeigte. Doch manchmal wusste sie nicht, wie sie diese Gefühle verstehen sollte. Eines Morgens wachte Lilli auf, und ihr Regenbogen schimmerte in einem dunklen Blau. „Warum fühle ich mich so?“ fragte sie sich. Mama kam herein und sah Lilli an. „Vielleicht bist du traurig? Manchmal hilft es, darüber zu sprechen.“ Lilli erzählte von einem Spielzeug, das gestern kaputtgegangen war. Mama hörte zu, nickte und sagte: „Es ist okay, traurig zu sein. Wenn du möchtest, können wir es zusammen reparieren.“ Lilli lächelte ein wenig, und ein heller Streifen Gelb schlich sich in ihren Regenbogen.
