Roses are red
Violets are blue
You are the kindest friend
I don’t know what I would do
Without you

All of My Excuses

by Eva aged 8

“Miss Muschamp?”
“Yes sir” I said
“Where is your homework?”
Oh no, I thought to myself. “Ummmmm…”
“Um what?” asked the teacher.
” I… got hungry and ate it. My dog was very sad.”
“A likely story.”
“Well then,” I said. “My…. I was staying at Grandma’s house.”
“And then what happened?”
“She was supposed to help me with it.”
“Oh and let me guess she forgot.”
“Oh no no no, would never forget a thing like that, she died.”
“I’m sorry to hear that. So then couldn’t Mum or Dad help?”
“Too busy,” I said
“And what were they doing?”
“Mum was cooking and Dad was was… chopping up logs.”
“As soon as I hear that I know that none of it’s true so tell me the truth.”
“Oh fine, I forgot to do it so this morning I scribbled on it ”
“Thank you,” he said as he started to walk away.
“Phew he’s gone,” I sighed
“Oh and one more thing,” he said
“What?” I said thinking what nice things he could say.
Well, I thought that for about 7 seconds.
“DETENTION!”
“WHAT???”

My sister is called Vivi
You only live once but not for long

She is as annoying as could be
I want to be alone but does she let me? NO!

Eva’s being mean? How an earth am I doing that?
Run run run before you’re HUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUURRRRTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTT

Toad

by Rita, Sadie and Agnes aged 9, 9 and 9

Oh, the little girl down my road
She has a pet toad
She pets him and hugs him
and feeds him yummy treats
Oh, she doesn’t like dogs or cute little kittens
She only loves her friendly young toad
She gives him a kiss goodnight
She asks me if I want to pet him
But to be honest
I don’t really like him.

Homework

1
by Poppy aged 9

I’m sat at home with the cat on the phone
Suddenly I hear my mum have a quick moan
I asked my dad what to do [I am bored !]
so my dad said, “Do your home work.”
So I go and do the most boring thing of all
sleeping [oh sorry I mean homework (urgh)]
When I’m finished I celebrate
So I go to bed and rest
for ages

Rain

1
by Roddy aged 10

a symphony of nature’s music

dancing on the pavement

creating a rhythm all its own

I close my eyes

and let the rain wash over me

cleansing my soul

renewing my spirit

in this peaceful moment I feel good

In the Darkest Dark

1
by Jack and Ola aged 9 and 10

There once was a boy called Chris
who was scared of the dark abyss
Every night,
he would get his parents to put up a fight
They gave him a bell
which he didn’t treat well

July 20 1969
a very historic sign
for the man on moon
who arrived just after June.

Chris had been inspired
and more than ever aspired
to be an astronaut
and launch into space
and create yet more history.

Fishy, Fishy, in my Dishy

1
by Carmen and Nilshikha aged 9 and 9 (10 and 10)

I’ve got a pet fish from the fish shop,
he lives in his tank and eats a lot!
His name is Fishy,
he always loves his dishy.
Although he is very fat
he swims fast when he sees a cat.
Fishy became greedy,
and very needy.
One day
when he went out to play,
he saw us eat:
tomatoes, cucumber, and no meat.
He leapt from his tank
and landed in the bin where it stank!
The clock struck nine,
one giant leap for fishy kind!
fishy, fishy, in my dishy.
and now I have NO FOOD!
I put him in his place,
which is not that ace.
fishy, fishy, now NOT in my dishy.
