I play Roblox and my favourite games on it are ‘ Hide and Seek Extreme ( I know how to glitch out to the map ) and Escape Papa
pizza ’ s Pizzeria obby ( I would recommend this game for 10 + because the evil chef chases you ). Does anyone else like these games ? I also play Mario Kart on my Switch and my favourite map is Thwomp Ruins or Tick Tock Clock . My favourite part of AQUILA was Who Told You That ? but now you don ’ t do it � . Now , my favourite bits are Ian and Over to You . Please can you do an issue on fossil hunting ,

I know everyone says this ( and this ) ( sometimes even this ) BUT , I LOVE AQUILA SOOOO MUCH ! My favourite issues so far are probably all of them ! From November 2021 to now ! You know on the back it says - creative , kind , curious and just the teensiest bit bonkers ? Well that ’ s how I would describe myself ! See , that was weird ( please just keep in mind that I am weird )! Wait one sec … oh yeah , I was gonna say that I ’ m in Gryffindor , any of you guys ? Sorry , it ’ s kinda long but I NEVER EVER wrote before , so yeah deal with it ! LOL ! Sorry Pepe but I ’ m scared of ( big ) dogs , I ’ m not scared of you ( a little ). On a scale from 1 - 10 , 10 being me jumping out of my skin and 1 being me pointing at how cute you are ( Pepe you are cute ) probably 3 ! Yeah sorry again I ’ m blabbing and blabbing and blabbing .. are you asleep yet ? Special shoutout to Esther B , age 10 from Showstoppers . Me and my family are wishing you health for your cancer , we hope you ’ re feeling ok ! BTW , my fave animals are piggies , koalas , red pandas , Arctic foxes and dragons ( I ’ m so happy that one of my fave animals is your fave as well Esther )! Ok now all of you are probably asleep . Wake up because I think it ’ s long enough ! Thanks again for the amazing mag ! Stay Safe .

gaming , especially Minecraft and Roblox , or Pokémon . If you can , that would be awesome� . I < 3 your magazine ! In my spare time , I like to play on my iPad or Switch and read . I now have over 100
issues of your magazine . Why do you like to repeat subjects ? * My favourite songs are ‘ Never Gonna Give You Up ’ by Rick Astley
, ‘ Bones ’ by Imagine Dragons and ‘ Wanna Be Startin ’ Something ’ by Michael Jackson . I am on grade 3 piano . Sadly , I have lost two issues of AQUILA which are Captain Cook ( April 2013 ) and Mighty Maths ( March 2016 ). I am going to show my friend Bethany the cheese quiz from The Moon Issue ( November 2021 ) because she is CRAZY about cheese ! I am going to try and make the Chocoshambless from the Chocolate Issue ( April 2017 ). How do you send jokes in ? OK , this letter is getting kinda long now , so I think I should stop !!
