CDNIS is going for gold again!

You’ve got to hand it to the kids of Canadian International School Hong Kong – they’ve been busy sending me horribly scary haikus for the last couple of weeks! But what’s happened to all you other kids out there? Where are you all? Have you been kidnapped by an alien from the planet Zurg ? Or maybe you’ve just glued all your fingers to your lunchbox?? Or has your brain been occupied by an evil brain-occupying octopus??? I’m worried about you! Quick, send me an entry into my Haunting Haiku competition to prove to me that you’re still alive!   Details on my Competitions Page!

As luck would have it…

Q: What do these three pictures have in common?

A: They all relate to my new Wicked Word for the Week! So click on my Wicked Words page and find out if you’re in luck with a brand new word to use on your unsuspecting family, friends or teachers this week!

“I said what I meant and I meant what I said!”

Do you know which famous children’s author said that? And do you know who invented the word “nerd”? Take a look at  my Awesome Author and Brilliant Book pages if you want to find out!

At long last, photos of the Dirty Party!

A big THANK YOU to Arti, Shonee, Odessa and all the staff at Bookazine for a fabulous Dirty Party on Saturday 25th September! We all had so much fun! Here’s a photo of the Boy who loves Grot! But if you want to see more photos of the party, you’ll have to visit my newly updated Photo Gallery on my funny and fabulous website at www.sarah-brennan.com right away!

Congratulations to the Winner of my Laugh Out Loud Limerick Competition!

Congratulations to Brittany Arthur of P6.3, Sha Tin Junior School, winner of my Laugh Out Loud Limerick Competition! Brittany wrote a very clever limerick about an old lady and a “quorum”. I was very impressed by her knowledge of such a difficult word and what it meant, and her technical ability in getting the rhyme and timing requirements of a limerick just right! Go to my Competitions page to see her winning entry, and the wonderful entries of the nine runners up!

And go to my Wicked Word page to find out all about that wonderful word “quorum”!

Wow! What a fabulously Dirty Party we all had on Saturday!

There were Neats and Grots galore at the party on Saturday! We had two parties, two readings, two quizzes and WAY too much fun! And in a day or two I’ll be posting a whole lot of photos of the event – so keep your eyes peeled!

Just two days to go!

Just two more days till the end of my Laugh-Out Loud Limerick Competition – quick sticks, you’d better get your entry in if you haven’t already! Remember to email your entry to me at sarah@auspicioustimes.com to be eligible to win first prize of a free signed copy of one of my books!

Lights…Camera… Action! A big THANK YOU to Kennedy School!

What a fun afternoon that was! 37 kids and I had a fabulous time today when I went to Kennedy School for a reading of The Tale of Temujin, while the talented Stuart Miller and Jennifer Deayton filmed a video of the event! Watch out – that video will be on my website before you know it!
