A relatable poem that reminds us all to find something we love to do, rather than sitting around!
Your hobby might be gaming
It could be writing or reading
Or maybe even creating
But I don’t think it includes eating
Maybe it’s watching television
Or listening to music
It does not matter which
You can choose what makes you tick
Only because you’d be boring
If you sat and did nothing
All day long

Which Animal Would You Choose?
From sharp-clawed lions to playful dogs, Kayla explores the unique traits of our favourite animals.
Big and small
Short and tall
Which one is your favourite out of them all?
The cat that purrs
The lion that roars
Both having paws with claws so sharp
A parrot that copies everything you say
A dog who just loves to play
Which unique animal do you choose?

Red
A bright, bold historical look at a very vibrant colour.
It’s the colour of roses
And the blood inside you
A colour on the Ghana flag
And many others too
What could that colour be?
The bold one everyone sees
A symbol of strength in the 1800s
Red is what the colour could be

Try Again
Inspired by school, sports, and video games, this piece is an inspiring anthem about building resilience.
Try again
Makes me think about video games
Because every time you lose,
It tells you to try again
Try again
Makes me think about PE
Because when you get a move wrong,
You’re told to try again
Try again
Makes me think about school
Because when I get something wrong,
My teacher tells me to try again
Try again
That’s how you learn to fix your mistakes
Try again
That’s how you learn to do things
Try again
And you’ll get better every time

Tasty Yucky Spicy Sweet
A fun, short rhyme about one of the yummiest things in the world: food!
Tasty, yucky, spicy, sweet
Which one will you pick to eat?
Salty fries, Sweet cakes
Which one makes your teeth ache?
One of the yummiest things is food
Whether you eat by yourself or with a friend, you will still be delighted.
