Around Grade 3/4

We have been writing poetry in grade 34 this term. So far the students have written Limericks, Haiku, Acrostic, Clerihew and Diamante poems. Here are some that they have written.

There once was a person called Zac

Who had a very sore back  

So he jumped out of a plane 

And every one thought he was insane

by Zac

Wattle seeds from outer space,

We will feel the project awesome embrace,

We will observe every day,

Until we make it hurray!

by Benita

There once was a dog,

it looked like a frog,

it was all green and slimy,

and it’s name was Hermione.

by Leila

                                                                  There once was a river stream,

                                                                   Who sang like it was a dream,

                                                                   It went down a slope

                                                                   And lost its hope,

                                                                   But then it cheered up with ice-cream

                                                                     by Frazer

My friend is called Bob 

He has a very good job

Then he got hit my a hammer

Now he has bad grammar

                                                           BASKETBALL

                                                      Fast moving, tiring

                                                Shooting, dunking, passing

                                                Hoop, net, ball, backboard

                                                  Fouling, layups, bounce

                                                    Nerve racking, clutch

                                                              SPORT

An acrostic poem - Wattle Seeds

Way out into space the little seeds went

Arriving with the Astronauts 

Travelling in the International Space Station

Time  goes  by as the seeds explored space

Launched back to Earth 

Experiment for schools to plant these seeds 

Seeds to be planted and watched

Enthusiastic children at Andersons Creek

Excited to plant and see them grow

Digging holes and watering them

Special care we will give as we enjoy watching them grow.

by Isla

Our wattle seeds went near the moon 

In a rocket they went zoom zoom

On return we put the wattle 

Into a really big bottle

Hopefully we’ll see them grow soon
