feel euphoric,
I have friends.
Breath out,
feel positive,
concentrate on my health,
know I will feel content
Feel secure because of family,
relax knowing that friends
make me joyous.
Take a beep breath,
feel overjoyed
I have my sister.
Breathe out,
feel happy
I have my dog.
Concentrate on support,
know that I feel safe.
Feel brilliant
because of going on holiday.
Relax knowing
my friends make me happy.

Rainbow Boy Song
R: Rainbow boy is very fast.
A: and he skates and runs through crowds of people.
I: indoors and outdoors he saves peoples lives. In Xscape he is good.
N: Never does he a call on his medal.
B: Before he goes on an adventure he eats and sleeps.
O: On top of bridges he saves lives quickly and looks after Buster. He can do it, he is SUPER!.
W: Wish, wish, wish he could finish and go back to Mum at Cafe 16.
B: Be there whenever you need him. Just shout out loud.
O: Okay he is always having fun when he sees Bran and Buster run.
Y: You have no need to fear, RAINBOW BOY is always near!
Rainbow Boy was created as part of the Superhero work - you can see a photo of some of this work at http://we-are-artists.blogspot.com/
This poem is actually the lyrics for a song, it was written by a member of our Wednesday Club, working hand over hand with one of our fabulous staff. It was just too good not to share it with you all!

Ice Lights
Jade blaze fades
Glassy fusing blue
Glow ruby misty
flicker glint shifting
Ruby glimmer flicker
Misty fading flow
Blaze emerald hazy
Emanate glassy flood
Radiance blaze dissolve
Blaze jade ray
Misty vanishing blue
Glow ruby hazy
Melt glassy shimmer
Glint flood thaw
Vanishing glassy red
Green icy flicker
Royal shimmer flicker
Shiny fading turquoise
Glimmer scarlet opaque
Glow hazy melt
Gleam flicker radiance
Shimmer transparent aqua
Disintegrate fragile shimmer
Turquoise sapphire flood
These lanterns were made using the water left over from snow painting! We froze them in bottles with plastic cups weighted down in them to make the hollows in which our tea light candles sat. We were amazed at the colours in the photos! We used a thesaurus to find the words to our poems.

Talk to me while I'm listening....
Talk to me while I'm listening hereTalk in a quiet voice,
Like a snowflake falling to the ground,
Like a bead falling off a dress,
Like a stone skimmed across water.
Talk in a loud voice
Like guitars being played at a concert,
Like fireworks exploding,
Like lightning flashing.
Tell me your ambitions, your news, your problems
And I will tell you mine
While I'm listening here.

we are artists.

List of lovliness!
Try making a list of all of the things you
really like!
(You could cut out pictures and stick them on, do drawings, tell someone what to write or you could write your list down yourself!)
We bet that your face will have a big smile on it when you finish! Just like the one at the at the bottom of the picture!
We bet that your face will have a big smile on it when you finish! Just like the one at the at the bottom of the picture!
and
If you share your list with someone else we bet they smile too!
