BEAUTIFUL POETRY

Our Year 3/4 students have been exploring how sensory language brings poetry to life and enhances the reader’s experience. They have been discovering how words that appeal to the five senses can create vivid imagery and evoke emotions. The students then put their learning into practice by writing their own poems, using sensory language to engage readers and paint a picture with words.

Home smells of love It feels like a hug It tastes like chocolate that Melts in your mouth Home sounds like happiness It looks like paradise And that is home In one little go. By Cami 3/4A	It’s dark and cold With secrets it might hold And so many trees on the way The pictures are amazing It’s delicate as the touch of sadness it might fold. The sounds of animals make you unfold And stories it tells you that will be told. This is my way of calming down It’s only calm not being a funny clown Just be yourself and pass this on To ones who need it and those who don’t. By Alice 3/4A	I wake up in the morning breeze And smell the freshly baked treats I tiptoe to the kitchen table I hugged my mum; she kept me stable I ate her food it was tasty And I smelt a chocolate cake The chocolate cake was creamy and ace And I licked the chocolate off my face.

Breakfast

Home smells of love

It feels like a hug

It tastes like chocolate that

Melts in your mouth

Home sounds like happiness

It looks like paradise

And that is home

In one little go.

It’s dark and cold

With secrets it might hold

And so many trees on the way

The pictures are amazing

It’s delicate as the touch of sadness it might fold.

The sounds of animals make you unfold

And stories it tells you that will be told.

This is my way of calming down

It’s only calm not being a funny clown

Just be yourself and pass this on

To ones who need it and those who don’t.

I wake up in the morning breeze

And smell the freshly baked treats

I tiptoe to the kitchen table

I hugged my mum; she kept me stable

I ate her food it was tasty

And I smelt a chocolate cake

The chocolate cake was creamy and ace

And I licked the chocolate off my face.

BUDDY TIME IN THE LIBRARY!

Our Preps and their Year 5 buddy had a great time at the library today. The year 5s are collecting research for their very own stories that they are planning to write for the Preps.

THE GREAT DEBATE

The Year 3/4 students put their persuasive skills to the test as they participated in their very first debates! They explored a range of interesting topics, including whether school uniforms are necessary, whether students should bring healthy lunches to school, and whether the canteen should serve hot food. We were incredibly proud to see the students demonstrate courage and confidence as they shared their ideas, presented convincing arguments and respectfully expressed their opinions to the group. What a fantastic start to debating!

CREATIVE PLAY

Creativity at its best! Turning play equipment into bike riding! And turning the sandpit into a whole new world!
