Editor says... Welcome to our fifth issue of kidzlyfe! At kidzlyfe we believe that learning can be both interesting and fun. We believe that by giving children a platform to showcase their talents and share their knowledge they can learn from one another and perfect their skills. Kidzlyfe accepts all articles and artwork from children of primary school age but only the best get to be featured. We believe that they will motivate their readers to write, draw and/or think as best as their contributors. In conclusion, I would like to thank all parents for their support in the making of this magazine and encourage all parents to allow their children to forward their work to us. Have fun reading!!!

Poetry My teacher took my iPod
By Kyendo Muli Class 7
My teacher took my iPod. She said they had a rule; I couldn't bring it into class or even to the school. She said she would return it; I'd have it back that day. But then she tried my headphones on and gave a click on Play.
Fun Fact
Most of the dust in your home is actually dead skin! Yuck!

She looked a little shocked, but after just a while she made sure we were busy and cracked a wicked smile. Her body started swinging. Her toes began to tap. She started dancing in her seat and rocking to the rap. My teacher said she’d changed her mind. She thinks it's now okay to bring my iPod into class, She takes it every day
