Pass The Poems, Please
by Jane Baskwill

Pass the poems please
Pile them on my plate
Put them right in front of me
For I can hardly wait
To take each tangy word
To try each tasty rhyme
And when I've tried them once or twice
I'll try them one more time:
So pass the poems please
They just won't leave my head
I have to have more poems
Before I go to bed.

What a way to start the term!

Thanks for the lovely cake Sarah:)

The challenge is on...

We are trying to increase our audience on our blog. 

We think it is a great place and want more people that we know to enjoy it.  We love comments so please leave us some interesting comments.

In class today we decided that we would make it a bit of a challenge.  We are all trying to get someone we know  to visit our blog and leave a comment saying who encouraged them to visit our fab blog.

We have worked out that we may be able to contact them in 9 different ways.  Can you remember all 9?

I wonder who will be first, have the most comments or have comments from unusual places???

Watch this space.....

I am at school tomorrow but working with other enthusiastic learners
