ACTING LIFE

Last year I performed on stage

This year I signed up again

I love the idea of doing it again

It gives me the chance

To be social

Show my true self

Meet new people

And have a lot of fun

I performed twice

One at the end of term 2

Another at the end of term 4

To an even bigger crowd

Acting means a lot to me

As it not only gave me the chance

To try something new

But the friends I met the year before

I got to see again

Those friends also introduced me to

Staying up late and having night outs together

I’ve become brave and more social

I am so grateful for Acting Class

 

 

MY INSPIRATION 

He’s a believer 

He’s strong

He gives money to charity 

He keeps on going no matter the hate or love

He works hard every day 

He’s got a big heart

He always tries something new

Takes criticism very calmly and doesn’t fight back

He keeps his friends close

His music brings joy, love, hope and peace into people’s lives

Videos and pictures explain him in a thousand words 

He smiles everywhere he goes 

He just makes you feel strong 

No matter what happens to you 

He would be a wonderful friend 

If I ever get to meet him 

One day 

 


 
A FANTASTIC DAY 

Flying along a sunny sky

I wonder where I could find some yummy food?

As I’m very hungry!

I spot a big Laburnum Tree

Mmm… delicious leaves!

I then thought, I need a shower

The sun vanished and out of nowhere 

Rain came pouring down 

I didn’t want to fly in this rain

So I stayed on the tree

Spread out my wings

and started to wash myself

Who cares what those earthlings think?

I lift up my wings, my tail

Then my head

Once clean I ate more leaves

Until it got dark

So I flew back home

To my friends and family

To tell them about my day

and my shower in the rain

What a fantastic day I had

being a wood pigeon
