Papa wil een vlieger maken, zodat hij vaker met mij de 'gezonde buitenlucht' kan opsnuiven. Als we een hond hadden, zou ik best een frisse neus willen halen. Maar die komt er niet, omdat Delia 'allergisch' is voor honden. (IK ben denk ik allergisch voor Delia.) Dirk, Nico en ik zijn FLINK aan het oefenen voor de ROCK WEEKLY BAND BATTLE. We hebben SUPER veel tijd, dus geen PANIEK. (Nou ja, NOG niet!)
Seeing Delia without her sunglasses on is a BIG shock, but that's nothing compared with the surprise Dad has in store for me with his new found fitness regime. He says he's going to compete aty Sport's Day. Shame! Meanwhile Derek, Norman and I keep practicing in DOGZOMBIES so we're really ready for the school Talent Show.
In the next hilarious illustrated instalment of Tom Gates, Mr Fullermanhas a class assignment: a family tree! Tom's ready to learnall about the Gates family, his friends and a furry creature (ortwo!).
Exciting News! Mr Fullerman announces that class 5F are going on an 'Activity Break'! Which should be fun. As long as I don't get stuck in a group with anyone who snores or worse still with . . . . . . Marcus Meldrew.
Back to school, but it's not all bad. We're entering Rooster in a dog show, the School Disco and my birthday are coming up so this term's going to be amazing! Mostly because Delia's not invited to any of these. There's only one small problem with my birthday, Granny Mavis says she's going to cook . . . uh oh!
Em dic Tom Gates i m’he proposat aconseguir més ESTRELLES que ningú al quadre de punts del meu profesor, el senyor Fullerman, però no ho tinc GENS fàcil! Això és per tres motius: 1. El Marcus és un trampós que sempre em busca les pessigolles. 2. El queixal em fa TANT de mal que NO puc concentrar-me ni per fer gargots durant la classe. 3. Tinc altres coses importants que fer, com ara NEDAR, caçar cuques i, sobretot, empipar la meva germana DÈLIA, que és una cosa que sempre m’anima.
Tom Gates is the master of excuses for late homework: dog attacks \- spilt water - lightning... Tom's exercise book is full of his doodles, cartoons and thoughts, as well as comments from his long-suffering teacher, Mr Fullerton. After gaining five merits for his CAMPING SUCKS holiday story, Tom's work starts to go downhill \- which is a pity, as he's desperate to impress Amy Porter, who sits next to him...
