Bells ringing,
Chairs banging,
Teachers chattering,
People talking,
People whispering,
Copy slapping,
Pencils paring,
Pencils scrapping,
Children coughing,
Rubbers rubbing,
Music playing,
Children singing,
People colouring,
People painting.

Winter's Journey

As the wind crept up the yard,
freezing the grass behind him,
icy winds blowing in our faces.
As we line up to go back to class,
chasing behind, freezing the puddles.

Moving on when I went to bed,
creeping up my bed he goes,
nipping at my toes.

Moving on again through the park he goes
freezing the grass, making it crunchy,
sending the birds to different countries.

I don't really like the winter,
it is really cold,
BUT I can tell you I LOVE the SNOW.

Benedict

Wizard's hat

B is for the beginning of my name,
E is for eggs, oh my god this poem is lame!
N ever ever going to eat tuna,
Everybody thinks they’re cool - but they know I’m cooler!
Dear, oh, dear Benedict, you are so handsome,
I think you won’t be lonesome.
Correct all the time in my tests
Too bad I’m the best!!!!!

Birds in the Beard
Man with beard

There was once a man with a beard .
Who said this is just as I feared.
Two jays and a hen,
Four robins and a wren,
Have all nested right in my beard!

He needed to get rid of this mess,
He thought he’d just break all the nests.
But one bit his thumb,
And brought back a plumb,
And  he never made friends with the pests.

Finally the day came,
When the birds said “ This beard is lame”.
They flew off and away,
The man was happy that day,
And he invited his friends over to play.

Poem

Mary, Mary open the door
I can’t because I’m cleaning the floor
Wash the dishes
What are your wishes                      
Where is my frog  
It’s not on my log
Where’s the chair
I hope it’s not on my hair
Get a shower
I’ll be up the Eiffel Tower
Come downstairs were going to the mall
And I’ll buy you a football
It’s almost five
Where’s my bee hive           
I had a letter to send

But My Mam said it was the end.

Spring Time

Cows mooing,
Horses galloping,
Children playing,
Birds tweeting,
Lamb, calves, foals being born.
Flowers growing,
Buds bursting,
Spring is my favourite season.

Spring

Sunny  always
Pretty  flowers
Rain  to  help  flowers  grow
I  love  spring
Nothing  as  good 
God  thank you  for  spring

Teachers
Teacher

We have lots of teachers in our school
Some are boring and some are cool
Some are small and some are tall
But Ms Mc Carthy loves to play football
If we do not have all our homework done
We get an automatic sanction one
Every Friday we have a spellbound test
But Ms Verschoyle’s English class has to be the best!
Ms Maye is really fun
On Friday in art we get lots done
She can scream shout
But watch she might kick you out
We have lots of teachers in our school
Some are boring some are cool
Some are small and some are tall
But I just seem to like them all.

Music

Music makes me happy
Unless the music is sappy
See I like music
Interesting & groovy
Cause I like to boogie!

Australia

Ayres rock is one of the most beautiful landscapes in the world.
Under the water there are loads of beautiful fish in Australia.
Sydney Opera House is the best Opera House in Australia.
Tropical rainforests are very dangerous in Australia.
Rainforests are very big in Australia but the biggest is Cape Tribulation.
Aborigines are native to Australia.
Lamas are funny and they like to mess with you.
In Australia the didgeridoo is a famous instrument.
Australia is a lovely place to place to go on your holidays.

Really good at free kicks.
And he can use both feet.
Fans love him.
And he is quick.
Everybody on the man u team is great.
Long shots are his thing.

Diamonds Are A Girl's BFF

Rubies, diamonds, beauty, pearls
These type of things are mad for girls!!
Everyone loves a good ruby ring
Too bad it causes too much cha-ching!!
Ears, fingers, toes, nose
Every little jewel just matches your clothes

I’m sick of hearing mum
She’s a pain in the bum!
SHOUTING! About diamonds,
I think I’m deaf!

Its not my fault beauty is my BFF!!

Space

I know this trip doesn't sound very fun,
but sit back as we pass the sun.
Mars is red,
Just like a marshian's head.
Jupiter is cold,
and if you go there you will be bold.
Pluto is cool,
but it would not fit a swimming pool.
Aliens live there,
I don't know why there is no air.
The sun is a giant star,
it would melt a chocolate bar.

Space
