The caterpillar
Small and slimyCreepy and grimy
He eats his leafsAnd then he leaves
He tucks up tightHe sleeps all night
He wakes up niceTastes better than rice
He sucks up the pollenHis new name is Colin
That cute little butterflyGood-bye little butterfly

CONNOR SHIELDS!
Hi I’m Connor I am ten and I enjoy playing rugby.
I live with my mum, dad and my annoying little sister; oh yeah and my hamsters
Well one now since honey died of age; I loved that little ball of fur.
My bad habits are picking my nails and stepping on lines on the pavement.
My best achievement was getting into the rugby team.
My favourite place is America Orlando, Florida, because I went on holiday there once, me and my family went to Disney land everyday.
My hobbies are playing rugby and playing with my friends.
When I grow up I want to be a professional rugby player.
My favourite food is cheesy pasta,
And my favourite band is fall out boy, and my favourite song that they made is thanks for the memories, it has monkeys that act like humans, it’s very funny.

More than two hundred years after his death, Robert Burns continues to fascinate all manner of people the world o’er. No other poet ever touched such a chord in the hearts of men everywhere, and no one ever articulated the range of emotions felt by everyone. Not for nothing has he been dubbed the “Bard of All Humanity.”
You don’t have to be Scottish to appreciate his poetry or be entertained by his songs; much of what he wrote was in standard English anyway, but even the vernacular poetry is couched in such simple language that, with a little help, it can be easily understood.”Burns the man, however, remains a controversial figure, largely as a result of the efforts of so many nineteenth century biographers to denigrate him. Burns the womaniser and drunken debauchee is a powerful image; the reprobate redeemed by his sublime poetry was a popular impression ! “
Burns himself wrote that ‘Facts are chiels that winna ding’, but in his case it has been a long struggle to set the record straight. Of course, Burns took a drink and sometimes drank more than was good for him, but in an age when hard drinking was the rule rather than the exception His duties as an Exciseman and his responsibilities as a husband and father, belie the popular image !”
His great song of parting, ‘Auld Lang Syne’ is arguably the most widely sung song in the world, while ‘A Man’s a Man’ is regarded today as the great hymn of universal brotherhood. Many of his lines, from. ‘the best laid schemes o mice an men’… to… ‘man’s inhumanity to man’, have passed into every day language.”The man who farmed 170 of the poorest acres in southern Scotland,.. rode 200 miles a week on Excise surveys,.. wrote up four different sets of books, ..was a voluminous correspondent… and found time to write so much matchless verse, was a workaholic… not an alcoholic !” `
