Time is slipping through my hands,
A tide fading from the sand.
I’m chasing the hours, but they don’t wait
Each tick sounds further and further away
The sky turns dark, blues and greens creeping in,
the light fading, though it feels like day has just begun
Another day gone, still so much to do,
Letters to write and conversations to be had,
Tasks keep coming but not enough time.
Blocks tumble, tiny feet patter
down the narrow corner
Who could it be?
Well, my little brother of course!!!
On my way home I saw my mum.
She was a kind mum.
She was a kind, clever mum.
She was a kind, clever, young mum.
She was a kind, clever, young, fast mum. Ip
She was a kind, clever, young, fast, excited mum.
She was a kind, clever, young, fast, excited, lovely mum.
She was a kind, clever, young, fast, excited, lovely and…
SPECIAL mum.
Floating clouds
Lying on my back
on Mother Nature’s carpet
of jade-green grass
Seems to me
I can reach the skies
the clouds, the cobalt blue sea,
In the sky
If only
I reach a bit higher
I am the daughter, it’s true,
Mira is my name—hello to you!
My dad is strong, kind and tall,
John, I love him most of all.
My mom is gentle, caring too,
Anita does everything for you.
My brother is funny, full of cheer,
Rey makes laughter appear.
My sister and I play every day
Senna brings sunshine in her way.
My uncle is helpful, kind and smart,
Sid Uncle has a golden heart.
My kitten coco sleeps all day,
Soft and silly in her own way.
We all love each other, that’s plain to see,
My family means everything to me
Our ocean friends
Our friends the fishes
We can save seas
Help the trees
Or the bees
Even though you have to sneeze
Some of the ocean we have never seen
Because we have never been
The narwhals
As delicate as parcels
The ocean has emotions
Like you have to put on lotion
The ocean fish
Also wish
That the ocean was cleaner
The ocean is our leader
We start the day with register,
Reading out everyone’s names.
But none of us can sit quite still,
We’re daydreaming about games!
We excitedly walk into assembly,
Remembering to behave.
I sit right down and “show five,”
And sneakily give a wave.
Maths is one of my favourites,
There are five sides to a square!
…Ha! I tricked you all!
How many were aware?
Then there’s English,
For the storytellers and writers.
This classroom is full of future stars;
Doctors, astronauts and firefighters.
We’re artists and musicians,
Who love to sketch and paint.
And when our teachers see the mess,
They always almost faint!
Now let’s talk about science,
The human body and the mind.
Keeping fit and healthy,
And always remember to be kind.
“Is it lunchtime yet?” we ask.
Our teacher sighs, “Not yet!”
We ask her every single hour,
We frequently forget.
We are just kids, after all,
My mom says we have one mission:
“Have fun!” she tells me every day.
Today’s history lesson is on Great Britain!
