What a Morning!

This morning Pinkie was more annoying than ever! I was eating my delicious biscuits and meat and he came up and eyed my biscuits. His long, floppy rabbit ears waving around irritating me. I knew he was trying to get me to chase him but I couldn't resist it! I chased him around the house to the dance floor. He danced around delighted. I was getting weary and so decided to play the old trick and pretend to sit down, it worked! He came up and tickled my whiskers. He knows I am ticklish,he ran away.Too late! I chased him around the house again ,he hid in the fruit bowl. He looked like a little pink berry . I skidded past and crashed onto the computer , thumped onto the floor and ran away. Friendly Warm hands picked me up, finally."Purrrr," I say. No more pink ears today. I hope! By Ellie

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
