My young Poets @The Mango Tree Reading Club

Congratulations Sana, on winning the first prize in poetry writing @ Vasant valley school. Love your poem. Makes me happy!

                      Happiness

Happiness is everywhere,

And it is also something we can share.

Happiness brings a smile to your face,

And it is something you should carry to every place.

 

You have happiness in school,

And even when you visit the pool,

You have it when you are running a race,

And even while tying a shoe lace.

 

But sometimes happiness is carried away,

By thoughts and moments that are gray.

But happiness is not taken away so easy,

Because in two minutes flat you are back to being breezy.

 

So now you’ll remember to keep happiness in your mind,

With thoughts and memories of the joyful kind!!

Poetry is when emotion has found its thought and thought has found its words - Robert Frost.

It's drama time

“Life is a theatre set in which there are but few practicable entrances.”
― Victor Hugo, Les Miserable

 

 

Spooky spooky Halloween again !

“Fairy tales are more than true: not because they tell us that dragons exist, but because they tell us that dragons can be beaten.”
― Neil Gaiman, Coraline

Happy Birthday Roald Dahl 13th September 2015

A person who has good thoughts cannot ever be ugly. You can have a wonky nose and a crooked mouth and a double chin and stick-out teeth, but if you have good thoughts they will shine out of your face like sunbeams and you will always look lovely. - Roald Dahl

Bringing Role Models into the lives of children - August 2015

 The most difficult thing is the decision to act, the rest is merely tenacity. The fears are paper tigers. You can do anything you decide to do. You can act to   change and control your life; and the procedure, the process is its own reward      -    Amelia Earhart
