A very popular game for the boys is raceing model or toy racing cars. Not very many schools have sets up for the boys to race. A few do nd they are very popular with the boys. Girls rarely participate in the fun.

Aurora Club

Sometimes on Monday afternoons Mr Stirzaker lets us ply with his model car racing game. It is called Aurora AFX; its very similar to Scalextric. There is a loop-the-loop which you must go up quickly. Most people like going up slowly, pullinh hard on the trigger and making loads of blue sparks. There is also a climb-the-wall track which needs a certain amount of skill; even Mr Atirzaker comes off on the death-wall. There are also a lot of corners. William Pring always comes off at the corners; if he is not doing 360° skids, he is probably driving the car backwards. Aurora Club is good fun.
