Quatrains

The RunnerThe runner sped around the track
In her body there is no slack
Sweat dripping down her chin
As she races towards the fin

Vegetables
Asparagus, broccoli, carrots, YUCK!
All of this tastes like MUCK!
I’d rather eat a hockey PUCK!
Or a huge rubbish TRUCK!

Beach time
Finally its beach time
I hope that I will get a tan
As I spend my last dime
To buy myself a huge fan

The Loo
“Do you need to go to the loo?”
Jimmy shook his head “I’m fine!”
But as we passed the toilet sign,
Jimmy cries” I need to poo”

Make-up
Swish, swish goes the brush
Now time to add more blush
The mascara wand darkens my lashes
Make-up feels like putting on ashes

Sweet Stuff
There’s sweet and sour
Every day and hour
Savoury’s nice
But I’d rather a cake slice

My Senses Poem

Summer At The Beach

Feel the sand between your toes
Feel the water as it goes
Feel the warm summer clothes
Feel the breeze as it blows

Smell the moist summer air
Smell the seaweed stuck in your hair
Smell the children everywhere
Smell the clothing that they wear

Hear the seagulls in their motion
Hear the cheerful, sunny emotion
Hear the lapping waves of the ocean
Hear the pleasant family commotion

See the joyful summer sight
See the sun so very bright
See the kids play while it’s light
This summer feels just right

Couplets and Triplets

Room 6 is quite a crowd,
No wonder they are so very loud.
Christmas is a time to cheer
Almost time for a new year

Buzz,buzz goes Mr Fly,
Splat! Oops! No time to cry.

Once there was a queen

Who was only a teen
When she swallowed a giant bean

Lil jimmy has big feet 

While Margret’s are more petite
And Finley’s just reek of wheat

There's something in my tummy

It’s making me feel real bummy
I should not have eaten that out of date gummy

Mixed Media - Visual Art

You hold the future in your hands.

In Term 2 our Visual Arts focused was on Mixed Media. We finally finished our pieces of art at the end of the term. We started off by creating two hands, most of us copied our own hands as templates. One hand represents our past and the other hand our future. We used lots of different materials and symbols to make our artwork as well as exploring a range of different techniques with water colour paint. This is my art work.

St Peter's Music Concert

On Thursday 31st October St Peter's College came to our school to preform for us. There were lots of instruments in the band. There were some common ones like the trumpet, violin and flute and there were also some less common ones like the bosoon, french horn and the viola. I also did a performance on my flute. I played Lavenders Blue and Ode To Joy. I was a bit nervous but I really enjoyed doing my first performance.

All Souls Mass

Today was All Souls Day. The whole school went to mass. We prayed for saints, people who have died of illnesses and people who have died before their time like the people in the Christchurch mosque attack. I enjoyed praying these people as it is very sad that they died.
