School year starts at Sunnydale, Duckdale and St Trillian's

THE CHILDREN OF TOYLAND squeezed back into their school uniforms this week as the academic year started once again. On Tuesday, pupils returned to Sunnydale Juniors and the Duckdale Academy, while on Friday at midday the pupils of local private school St Trillian's returned from their slightly longer summer break.

'It's a relief to get the young scoundrels back to the classroom,' joked Ducky's Mum, applying a fresh coat of beak-stick. 'My littl'un has been flying up the walls for weeks now.'

Ducky is five years old.

Former mischievous genius Kaitlin Cooper, ten, will now be taught by Timothy the Dog at Sunnydale Juniors. Prince Simba and Princess Carly will return to St Trillian's, where the young prince will complete his final year of primary school. The Land of Old Toys Comprehensive also reopened this week in its troubled neighbourhood.

The summer has been most eventful for Spurry Steakface of Smallvania. She arguably had a more exciting trip to New York City than to Cyprus, where she puportedly just stayed in the drawer.



Pictured: Spurry on the observation deck of the Empire State Building, once the tallest building in the world. Here she is at a height of 1, 050 feet, or six thousand three hundred times her two inch height. No resident of Toyland has ever been up such a high building.

The countdown to Christmas began approximately four minutes after the start of the new school term, and currently stands at approximately 106 days.
