Teacher and pupils cast a snow spell.

Year 11 pupils from Maldon, in Essex, have been conducting 'an experiment' to see if a pagan snow spell actually works! 

The snow spell is expected to be a success and we should see some snow at some point during the winter months.

 A year 11 student who 'loved' the class spoke to our news team, 'it's the best lesson of the week. We don't do no writing. And Sir never has a go if we forget a pen! All we gotta do is remember to clean our cauldrons.'

The Head Teacher of Great Maldon High is reportedly 'outraged' that this underground lesson has been 'injected' into the timetable without his permission.  Plus, noone can find any evidence that it even took place. The Head's PA made a statement, 'it's been extremely difficult as the room with all these supposed cauldrons seems to have disappeared- even the caretaker can't find it.'

The teacher leading the 'unsavoury' cross curricular lesson has been suspended until further notice. One pupil at the school has insisted that it's 'all so unfair'. Another pupil said, 'we liked it! We ACTUALLY learnt something!'

When Mr Rice was questioned it was revealed that the students had become 'disillusioned' with the stress of their GCSEs, so Mr Rice  wanted to offer 'hope' and 'encouragement' by offering a lesson which would stimulate their imagination and team building skills.

STRICTLY no Farage!

After seeing Ed Balls perform his Gangnam Style routine on Strictly Come Dancing, Farage has told BBC bosses that he wants to be a contender in next year's series. 

A source close to the UKIP leader stated, 'Ed Balls has suddenly become a national treasure. Nigel knows he needs people to come round to his way of thinking before he has any chance of becoming Prime Minister. Trump has given him hope. So why not start with Strictly?'

However, Strictly bosses have vowed to pull the show if Farage is brought on, 'our ratings would plummet. The boos would be horrible, and Len might strangle him!'

When discussing his future on BBC question time,  Farage admitted being a 'huge fan' of Strictly Come Dancing which brought on such hysterics from the rest of the panel  that Dimbleby couldn't regain control for a full ten minutes!  One member of the audience said, 'I have never seen Dimbleby look so cross!'

Afterwards, Farage was getting on a plane back to New York, to see Trump, one onlooker said, 'he was shouting really loudly that all British politicians are corrupt!'

He is reportedly off to talk to the American president-elect who 'really knows' what he's talking about!
