Description

Three short dramas featuring children from St Austins School. In the first, a bullied schoolgirl takes revenge by using spells in a book, "The Wizard of Boland", to turn the boys into a tortoise and a pigeon. Next, a young girl gets back at her bullies by taking a photograph of them gambling in the schoolyard and showing it to the teacher. Finally, a mischievous boy steals some toys, is chased by the other children, captured and put into a bin; the bin men come to empty it but the boy has escaped.
