This is your first time on Blue Peter. You are wearing your badge

with pride. Looks good. Let's talk about your style of poetry. How

would you describe it? I got it about your style of poetry. How

rap, so it's a lot like using my everyday speech to entertain. When

you are writing, where do you start? I'd advise anyone to start with

what's in your head or heart. It will take care of itself. Carry

what's in your head or heart. It notebook around with you as well?

I've always got one. I find it helpful to jot notes down. You see

stuff all the time and want to catch it. We've got an exclusive for you.

Hands up who wants George to come round to their house and read them a

bedtime story at night? What we round to their house and read them a

going to be doing today is use George's talents and your messages

together. We'd like you to send George's talents and your messages

message today, tell us what it is that makes you happy. Send it to

bbc.co.uk/bluepeter. As the messages come in, George will read them and

then turn them into a performance at the end of the show. It will be

wicked. Before we get into it and talk about what the poem is going to

be, why don't you give us the first four lines? When I'm having a rough

day, I don't want to allow myself to get sad. So what I do is go to the

things that make me happy. I want to know what makes you glad. Off to a

good start. Get in touch, leave know what makes you glad. Off to a

comment and tell us what makes you happy. If you are lucky, some of it

might be incorporated into the end of the show in the poem. A few weeks

ago, remember I told you about my Big Bike Challenge. There's the

bike. The hills are massive. Here is the challenge. This is my biggest

Blue Peter challenge to date. Over 12 weeks I'm training day in day out

to take on a daunting cycle race in the wilds of the Cumbrian Mountains

in north-west England. Can the next Blue Peter challenge beam... Albie

takes a great deal of fitness, aerobic endurance is the key factor.

And of course, keep your comments that George can do a poem at the end

of the show. But first, if you manage to see Atlantis? The first

episode was on Saturday, the next few weeks ago, I was lucky enough to

Also next week, Barney's Big Bike Challenge, he gets to fall off his

bike, as you can see. Yes, I get my first proper injury, it is going to
