We're coming to an end of our Poetry study, also Book Reports and 'Disasters' Social Studies work. Mr Thomas has got a lovely big end of unit test for us tomorrow - YAY!?!
Here's a few of our recent poems, inspired by Jenny Powell-Chalmers 'Carnival of Chocolate' - poems with Dunedin and Otago at their heart.
Otago Harbour
Splish splosh splash
Goes the white caps in the water
Chug chug chug
Goes the boat in the ocean
The ocean held me in its grasp
The Dunedin harbour’s waves were
as big as a dinosaur
People wish for the taste of fish
The Monarch takes people out for
a float
The people love to see the sights
Right before their very eyes
The ocean is blue.
by KD, LG & KM
The BeachDive in, dive inTo the waves that come and goWherever they end up, we do not knowAnything can wash up, revealing the sea's secretsAnd unlocking the mysteriesThe waves are like white horses running towards the shoreThe water reflects the sky perfectlyJagged cliffs line the beach's barrierFormed because of the constant crash of white wavesSplash, splashSquawking birds touch the water's surface while gliding across the skyGetting a bird's eye view of the swimming sealionsThe high tide is now in session, taking away the treasures of the beachTaking them backNever to be seen againby PM & CSGreedyGorse was never a weedWe let it spreadLike this, greed takes over us, killsOur Prideby SMWater Front Fish TankStep in, step inTo the Forsyth Barr StadiumThe waterfront fish tankHouse of the bone-crunching Highlanders and the Big O's30 000 fans supporting our mighty, magnificent Otago teamsYum, yumI see food everywhereIt's as delicious as candy flossChips, drinks and chocolate fishAll the delights you could ever wishWatch intently or you might miss the actionCameras everywhere, even on the segwaysRushing up and down the sidelinesThey are as fast as cheetahsStep out, step outAll the fun is doneThey've finished nowA huge thud as they win the gameIt is finished now - it's the end.by RW & ED
