The Sun

The sun glares at me from the sky.
Looking me in the eye. 
Its warm breath touches me,
As it dawdles across the sky.

School Disco

Colourful costumes shimmering in the spotted light,

Sparkly globe turning slowly,

Circles of white light floating across the walls,

Excited children shrieking,

Little movie characters shouting, jumping, twirling, running, sliding, 

Busy people behind the counter, distributing treats,

Loud music playing,

Mums and Dads chatting,

Another school disco. 

Poetic Writing About a Familiar Place

We are learning to... 

• Identify nouns, verbs and adjectives  in text.  
• Use adjectives and activated nouns to create poetic writing about a familiar place. 

Here are some of our poems:

Big cousins playing in the front yard

Black cats creeping up on birds

Cuddly Nan knitting clothes for my (toy) animals

Funny friends joking

Bright sun shining on me

Native birds flying softly in the air

Red butterflies twitching their wings

Purple presents waiting to be opened

I had fun at my birthday.

By Rocky

I saw an old house

Flowers growing in the garden

Fluffy cats on the roof

Bees on flowers making honey in their home

Beautiful butterflies flying in the sky

Birds singing in the tree

Ballerinas with flowers and white dresses

Spinning around a pool filled with fresh flowers.

By Raukura

Tracks long and dusty

Tree-house torn and smelly

Lake wavy and full of junk

Ducks loud and fast

Boats fast doing jumps

House big, smoking away

At tree-house bay.

By Finlay

Angry dogs barking

Sounds of my cat scratching

Baby brother crying

The wind dancing above in the sky

My cat moaning for food

Birds singing to the trees

I love my house and my back yard.
