Card for an elderly person

Hi there!
My name is Lukas, and I’m going on 11 on the 12th of December.
I am very serious about dancing (ballet contemporary and tap) and singing (classical and musical theatre.)
In the Christmas holidays I am going to do a few workshops on ballet and musical theatre.
I’ve found a poem for you:



Life is too short to wake up in the morning with regrets
So, love the people who treat you right, forgive the ones that
don’t believe everything happens for a reason.
If you get a chance, take it,
if it changes your life, let it.
Nobody said it would be easy,
they just promised


It would be worth it.



.


I hope you have a wonderful Christmas, full of friends, joy, and laughter.

Sincerely,
Lukas

Similes & Metaphors

Your brain is as small as a flea.
Your fart is as loud as a brass-band.
Your mouth is as big as Planet Earth.
You are as dumb as a dodo.
Your tummy is as humongous as the Atlantic Ocean.
Your face is as chubby as a hippopotamus.


We wrote our similes because we read a book called called ‘Jason’s Extraordinary Hair’ which had lots of similes in it. A simile is comparing a word with another.
Can you write a cool simile?
