We are going to look at a new poem whilst this is not as old as 'The Owl and the Pussycat', it was written in 1983!
Listen carefully to the poem and be ready to tell your partner what it was about.
How do you think Mrs Butler is feeling in the poem? Why do you think she feels that way?
What does Mrs Butler suggest the child in the poem should do?
We are going to go outside and practise reciting the poem with a partner. Think about how Judi Dench recited the poem 'The Owl and the Pussycat', using expression and excitement to bring it to life.
