Writing Ideas

• Read the poem, Benny the Badger, by Bill Hoeneveld. In the poem, Benny finds his perfect partner after digging a hole all the way to France! Using the poem as a source of inspiration, write a story about a badger that digs a hole and ends up having an exciting adventure. Will your badger end up in a place they intended to visit, like Benny, or will it be a complete surprise?
• Like foxes, badgers can sometimes be spotted in towns and cities, where they may make their homes in parks, graveyards and even gardens. Write a letter from an urban badger to a country badger. In your letter, you could mention both the good things and the bad things about city life.
