Mind and Body by Billal

Legs to help you walk and run,
Eyes to help you see.
A nose to help you smell,
A mouth to help you to smile and talk,
Arms to help you hold and other things,
A brain to help you think.
A heart to help you love.
Ears to help you listen.

from Billal

Gillian Cross has been in touch

Gillian says that some of her stories might fit the themes of The National Year of Reading



Can you guess which ones go with which month?



Chartbreak - which is a teenage girl telling her story

The Tree House - which has letters from two little boys to their father

The Monster From Underground - which is about a boy doing a project in which a dinosaur's ghost gets involved.



This last story reminds Mariyam about another great story called "Jimmy Zest" - where Jimmy steals egg cartons to make a dinosaur. It's well worth reading.

A Healthy Poem by Billal

Healthy healthy stay healthy

If you don't you'll be saggy

What better way to be healthy.

How to be healthy

Eat five fruits and vegetables a day

You don't have to be wealthy

to be healthy!

THE OTHER SIDE OF YOU!

Close your eyes and look deep inside,
Concentrate your body and mind,
And soon you will find that there,
Is a whole new person inside of you!
So just have fun,
And then you've won.
When your down in the dumps,
Just close your eyes,
Focus your mind,
And you will find,
THE OTHER SIDE OF YOU!
