Over the last few weeks Katherine Rundell has been asking a lot of famous authors and illustrators to get involved with a new FREE poem book. This book was made with the intention of comforting, inspiring and entertaining children in lockdown. There are absolutely loads of poems here to read, so maybe you could read some of them for your reading challenges.  Here is a link to this amazing book: https://literacytrust.org.uk/family-zone/9-12/book-hopes/

You are now going to have a go at writing your own version of this poem. 

Here is my example: Every now and then say something nice. 

Say it to a friend. 

Say it to a parent. Say it to a neighbour. 

Say it to the postman. 

Say something nice like: 

You remind me of the sunshine. 

Or 

Your hair smells like pizza.
