The official dodgiest dutch post ever...
Ik ben saai. I hope that means 'I am bored'...
The rules are, I have to know any sentence or words I use, or memorise them when I use them. So I could use the translator, but that would be cheating... And feel free to pay me out for any stupid stuff-ups :) There will be lots :P Especially in grammar cos this translator sucks...
Vaandag ik ging naar school. Ik ben een vrijwilliger, niet een student :P De kinderen zijn zeven jaar oud. ummm. Morgen ik ga naar... guides? Hoe seg je "girl guides" in het nederlands? Hmmm. Ik weet het niet.
Roughly what I meant was:
Today I went to school. I am a volunteer, not a student :P The children (I help with) are (about) seven years old. Tomorrow I get to go to girl guides. I have no idea how to say "girl guides" in dutch... ANYWAY... Ok, i'm over it..
Doei! (Later peeps!)

"Girl guides" used to be "padvindsters," but nowadays the age group for boys as well as girls is called "scouts" (which is of course a word imported from English.)
Your Dutch story is rather good. I would say some things sligtly different:
Vandaag ben ik naar school geweest. Ik ben vrijwilliger, geen leerling :P De kinderen zijn zeven jaar oud. ummm. Morgen ga ik naar de scouts. Hoe zeg je "girl guides" in het Nederlands? Hmmm. Ik weet het niet.
["Student" is used for university, not for 7 yo children...]
I am bored/I am boring... either one could apply really :) close enough anyway :P
