How are you feeling? Let's make faces
Being away from school and our friends is an usual situation for us all. Home feels kind of different because now it’s sort of school as well. In some homes, its school and work and home all mixed up together and maybe many others things going on too. Some days everything can feel a little upside down and our feelings can change a lot. Some days you might feel great, other days not so great. Maybe you feel lonely, worried, confused, uncertain, afraid as well as excited, happy, relaxed, or safe. I think we are experiencing all the different emotions on any given day. What sort of feelings have you been having?
Here is a nice way to get outdoors and using whatever you can find, make some faces to show how you might be feeling, or how you think others might be feeling.

The poem on the left is an acrostic poem. This means you write down all the letters of a word vertically and then write word, lines or verse beginning with each letter to go with the theme.
The poem on the right using 'rhyming couplets' when the last word of every second line rhymes....e,g, about/out, there/Hare
This is the acrostic poem I wrote:
Dotted along thegrass
All around my neighbourhood
I sit and make some chains
Sitting in the sun relaxing
Yes, I do love summer!
If you were to write a poem about summer flowers, would you use the acrostic style or rhyming couplets? Give it a go!
