Back Again

Not again! I'm Beginning to feel a childish feeling going through my spine. I pounced! I missed, but I did not give up. I was getting annoyed. He is tiny but very fast ,like car wheels going round. His face is a cute big eye that glitters like a star. Lost him again! There he is, hiding in front of the fruit bowl. He blends into the pink peaches so I can never find him. Then he disappears and takes me to the dance floor again. He loves dancing like he's controlled by a remote control. I sprint after him but then I feel tired. He he he, he's tickling my nose. As he goes back to his hole he calls out, "Good night Kitty!" By Cushla

Autumn Poetry and Art

Autumn Comes to an End

Zesty oranges

Emerald greens

All these colours make me gleam

Frosty nights, I have to fight, against the chill that comes before light

Finally it's finished

Another season over

Next it's winter, Brrrrrrrrr!

Leaf Wars

 

Attack!

Gather your leaves

Get your piles loaded with leafy ammo

Fire, defend your battle stations

The Golden Yellows win once again against the Emerald Greens

Autumn

 

Roses are red

Violets are blue

Paradise pink makes me blue

Emerald greens fall to the ground as I snuggle up warm and watch the colourful autumn sunset

Book Day

The Water Dragon

Thanks to Lucas who brought in his water dragon Rosie last week.

The Visit

Yesterday my friend Lucas brought his pet water dragon into our class. She can grow huge, up to two metres long! When I touched her I was breath taken, it felt like a cat licking me! She feels rough, like sandpaper from my Dad's workshop. A smelly aroma filled the classroom, the reptile had dropped a bomb! People were blocking their noses, others fled out of the classroom in panic for their lives, it was war! I had a stool for a shield and a ruler for my sword. My friend did the same. It was fierce! The bombs kept on coming, the rulers were swinging, finally one dropped right in front of us. We dropped our weapons and fled the battlefield, the dragon had won!
