🦇? Too late for Halloween, but all those bats flying about put me in mind of my batty old rhyme:
Batman Comes Undone
Help! Disaster! Fire and smoke!
Robin's trod on Batman's cloak!
Torn a rip right up the back!
He'll have to wear his anorak.
Batman Comes Undone
Help! Disaster! Fire and smoke!

A very happy National Poetry Day with Hagbourne Primary School, Oxon, via Zoom! Here are the younger children enacting a wood, ready for animal rhymes! Then 4/5 & I explored emotions, with wonderfully expressive outcomes! Well done all!
