    Meet Mr Monkey, who belongs to Class Two. He's more than just an ordinary toy - he's magic!

This week, it's Jack's turn.

    Football is Jack's favourite thing in the whole world, but he's not big enough to make it onto the school's football team. Might Mr Monkey and his magic be able to help? . . .
