Hello everyone!
The weather isn’t very nice at the moment, but try to get a little fresh air, put on your wellies and coat and stand in the rain. See what you can see, hear and smell. I love the smell of the grass in the rain. It may inspire you to write a poem or draw a wet day picture. I would love to see what you come up with.
