It is with great pleasure and full permission that I reproduce Peter's poem;

I'm in the best school,
I'm in the learning class,
I'm learning every morning,
I'm learning really fast.

I have a desk and folder,
I can write my name,
I'm doing rather nicely
and my lessons have an aim.

I can say my letters,
do numbers one to ten,
I can hold a pencil
and I can hold a pen.

My teacher gives me homework,
my sister gets it too.
People say I'm gifted
so I think it must be true.

They've put me on the fast track
and I hope I'll be ok -
I learnt to read quite quickly
but I never learnt to play.

Credit & sincere thanks
