FORTNITE

Fortnite is a game to play,

Oh how much fun it could be

Right now people with be playing, Fortnite.

Today but the people doing work

Nearly getting an education

In fortnight I’d get wins, kills and more

Today’s a school day to learn, not play

Every dame possible.

Seas of blue and

Luscious green plants making

Around us a beautiful place to be

Never boring always something to do with

Dreams of living forever here.

MAPLE LEAVES

Maple leaves

Makes me thing of gumboots,

Umbrellas

And kicking leaves in the day time

Dreams of maple leaves falling down

Yellow, orange and shades of brown

Rain and clouds

With sunshine beams

THE DOG

My dog is my favourite thing in the world

I love him so much

He makes me smile, laugh

He’s a Kelpie and very smart

He is one and knows a lot of tricks,

And is very fast

We do everything together

We go for walks

Go for a drive

Go for a swim

And go camping.

By Jake Daw

NORMAL VISION

Feeling at peace however fragilely

Made it easy to slip into the visionary

End of the dark – sight

The rose shadows said that they

Loved the sun, but they also loved 

The dark, where roots grew

Through the lightless mystery of the

Earth.

By Amelia Lines

SOCCER  MATCH

The defenders sprinting at the attackers,

To stop them,

And the coach screaming orders.

The goal keeper leaping through the air to catch the ball.

The ball flying through the air into the net.

A Day in the Life

MY MUSIC

I play my guitar morning, noon and night,

I sit in the sun,

It shines so bright.

When I play my music I feel such joy, 

When I started I was just a little boy.

Each note that I strum is so right,

The sounds that come out are just delight.

I play all say or sometimes on hours

My favourite song is “You’re a Sunflower”.    

By Marques Scott

Others can also be,

Taking a hike, you’ll become sportsmanlike.    By John Ortillano

RAINDROP

A drop of rain is like a sudden knock at the door.

Unexpected yet often welcomed.

With a smile it can brighten your day,

But also ruin your plans.

It can make you laugh

Or make you cry.

Whether the raining is moving fast or slow,

Loud or quiet.

It can always get everyone’s attention.   

By Malika Baldi

LIMERICK – VANESSA

There was a girl called Vanessa,

She loves to be a hairdresser,

There is another girl called Tilly,

She is a little bit silly.

Vanessa is the best guesser.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY

Happiest of all days

All the wishes you wished for will hopefully come true

Presents you’ll open with a big smile.

Party that will last till late at night

Year leading up to your day.

Balloons that fives a little touch to the decorations

Ice-cream to have with your cake

Ribbons and decorations you’ll make

Theme you’ll decide to throw

Hats made with confetti and a bow

Day you won’t forget of

Another great year this is done

Your special day is today.

SPAGHETTI

Spaghetti is the best food on the

Planet. It is so

Awesome all of the 

Grated cheese melting into your mouth.

There once was a lonely cow,

That had no friends,

But one day everything bends

Now

She has some friends.

DANCING

Dancing and prancing,

Jumping and tapping.

Dancing in the rain

Felling the breeze, air in your hair.

When I dance, no-one can stop me,

Not even you.

When you leap, turn and move, it feels amazing.

It makes you feel like somebody,

It gives you a purpose.

You feel with the music,

And you feel yourself, jumping and leaping

Spinning and swaying.

No-one can stop me from dancing.

Not anyone.                                                     

By Danica Humphries

THE SUN

The sun is quite high

It warms up all the sky

It is very nice

CHRISTMAS

As Christmas day falls among us

The kids get ready to open presents

The smells come from the kitchen,

That the Mum is cooking chicken.

While everyone else plays backyard cricket.

As the day comes to an end and all the people

Are going missing,

They will do it all again for next year.    

By Breeanna Lago

HAUNTED HOUSE

The dark,

Haunted house,

Reminded me of the 

Eerie noise from earlier

At that moment

There was a loud bang

Everyone jumped

Near

Each other

Dragging themselves away from the bang.     

By Samira Khalili

BASKETBALL

Basketball is the name of the game,

Some play and it leads to fame

It is fun to play

Even fun to play at school.

SEA CREATURES

Sharks like to

Eat

A lot of fish and marine mammals

Crabs like to bury themselves in the sand,

Ragged teeth sharks live down in the sea

Eels live in 

Antarctica

Trumpet fish look very

Unusual

Red waratah anemone lives on the shores of Australia

Emperor shrimp are a bright coloured shrimp.   

By Aydan Barrett

WITCHCRAFT

Witchcraft can be a lot to take

In to anyone who’s never practiced it

To this day

Children think witches are ugly old ladies who are evil,

However, witchcraft

Can bring to you things you desire or even make something you really want to happen 

     become                                    

Real, witchcraft is an 

Amazing thing to practice if you

Follow the right path and

Take the time to find what you really want and discover who you really are.
