Cross Country

Congratulations to all students that competed in the district cross country event last week. Our team came second in the district! We wish our many runners that have qualified for the division event all the very best at the next level.

Poetry

Our students have been exploring a broad range of poetry styles. They have published an array of impressive poems, following complex rules and patterns. Some examples are below.

The flowers will bloom.            

You can smell the breeze of wind.

The rain will drop down.

Blue

Blue is the taste of blueberry.

Blue is the colour of the sky.

Blue is the feeling of the ocean.

Blue is the sound of a blue bird.

Blue is the smell of rain.

Limerick

There once was a man from Ganga

And he loved to play the langa 

He went to town 

To become a clown 

But instead he juggled some banga 

By Lachlan

Tanka Poem

Rain is pouring down

and dripping down the window.    

It makes me happy.

Rain clouds are forming above 

I am going to get wet!

By Florence
