Our poem this week is "Singing" by Robert Louis Stevenson. Find the text and some questions on the website. What does singing mean to you?

Our new poem: A March Snow by Ella Wheeler Wilcox. Thoughts? In our food for thoughts section on www.englisch-fuer-alle.de you'll also find another poem by Ella Wheeler Wilcox that starts with the well -known lines "Laugh, and the world laughs with you, weep, and you weep alone". Would you agree?
I think it's remarkable that this is a sad, but not a bitter poem. In my opinion, Wheeler Wilcox states a fact, but doesn't blame anybody. What do you think?

How do you like Julia Donaldson's poem? What were your reading experiences as a child? Can you remember your first/ favourite book? Did you sometimes play/ act out the stories or imagine to be the hero of the story?

Tell us about your favourite rainy day memories! Mine is going for walks with my daughter when she was about two years old, taking her little Winnie-the-Pooh figures and a plastic boat and letting them swim in huge puddles.
