Live your life with happy days Live your life with glee. Sweep all your negative thoughts away You will have a happier life, don’t you agree! Spread hope and positivity all around Spread it near and far away. Smile more often and bury the sadness underground Have this mindset and it will all come to play. Live a warm summer sun streaming down on your face. Love will make you feel warm. Anger has no place It is dark like a storm. Live your life with happy days Sweep all negative thoughts away.

The future is a time of change

A time of change for today

And although it may be strange

Happy days will come.

Look to the future with belief

Do something good every day

Work hard and you’ll get relief

Happy days will come.

Put everything in the past

Be good and happiness will stay

Freedom has come at last

Happy days have come!

By Patrick Coates 9L

Listen out to the Bulletin for entry and deadline details

Happy Days by Georgina Cook 9C Happy Days are on the horizon When lockdown measures are finally lifted. Hiding away behind our masks No wonder our moods shifted. When lockdown is over, Friends will reunite And we’ll be able to go out to eat. Happy Days lie just out of reach Just one month to go! Happy Days are on the horizon And everything will be just so.

"This edition's theme is... HAPPY DAYS".

By Lauren Bridges 9Q

Happy Days by Dylan Fry 9H Summer’s finally come around Flowers are shining from the ground. People are meeting and having fun I’m so happy the Euros have begun. The sun’s coming out from the clouds Places filling up everywhere full of crowds. Things are easing in many ways Let’s all get together in these Happy Days

Are you happy? That can be a hard

question to answer. In life you might

always have doubts and life will be a

rollercoaster of emotions from doubt

to joy. However it is beneficial to stay

hopeful and positive, even when it

gets hard. I am looking forward to

covid restrictions lifting so I can meet

with friends and family without

constantly worrying about distancing

and meeting guidelines. What about

you?

Hope for the future and all that will come

All the exciting things to be done

People to see

Places to be

You can look forward to happy days.

Days out make me smile

All the places I haven’t been in a while

You and me can all say

So excited for happy days

Dear Reader

Hope. Hope is the fresh emerald grass,

Cut so finely a King could mistake it for silk. It’s the warm flames that lick your face

Peppering kisses as you lay alone in a dream world. It is when you blink and witness a future paved with a

thousand forms of joy, Each colour brighter than the last.

Joy.

It’s the smile of a newborn baby, Reaching its first grasp of this shining, beautiful world.

Joy is the eyes of deep, rich love, Making you lost to the point you cannot see that hours have

flown by, And it’s the sweetest symphony praised by the angels,

To fill your soul with the melodious songs from all the ages.

So to my beloved reader, Whose heart is young and loved.

Soar, glide the tides of happiness, And see where time takes you.

Witness the greatest colours, tinges that bring bright defiance,

Burst out in front of your waiting eyes, Pulling a smile on those worn out lips.

And laugh so loud that the angels sing its praises. Laugh loud enough that the world laughs back.

So laugh in your unique dreamscape Because these are the happy days.

Seize them . . . By Emina Selcuk 9D
