Monkey

In the woods up a tree

I can see a big monkey

It is fat like a bat

and tall like a big man’s hat.

Can you see

the big monkey?

My Older Brother

by Ella Thomas aged 9

My older brother is someone I adore,
Someone who I can look up to,
I show off to my friends and say he has a six pack,
But I love him so much, he is my best friend and world’s best brother.
He comforts me when I am sad, and I love him for that.

Strive To Learn

Let’s face it
Nobody’s perfect,
We’re human
We all make mistakes,
We make errors
Which we learn from,
So we can’t give up.
Let’s face it
We have malfunctions,
But those won’t stop us
Oh no they won’t,
Because we strive to learn
We don’t admit defeat,
We keep on going.
Fall down, get up,
Try once, try again
Fall down, get up,
Try once, try again
If it’s easy, challenge yourself,
Knowledge has no maximum
Sometimes it just takes a while to master it.

In the Woods

In the woods she plays

all on her own, all on her own.

She sees the trees waving in the wind.

Her family is far far away, far far away.

It’s time to go

so goodbye, goodbye, goodbye.

Books

Books are entrancing, books tell tales
Of knights in shining armour skinning dragon’s scales.
Accompanying princesses as they set sail.

Books are enchanting if only you would see,
Books are not being treated as they should be,
Books should be loved and treated with heart, not be ripped and torn apart.

I love books and poetry, which link together like jigsaw pieces in a multipuzzle tree.

Happy Birthday

Happy birthday to you…
Oh I really hate this tune…
You are completely festooned with balloons and party tunes..

You copied my birthday and had a LIMOUSINE!!!!
Your dog ripped a pillow shredded my teddy in his dreams…
So I hope you find the bomb in your cake…

And fall over the rake…
And I’ll cook you at a stake…
But none of these have happened, so, until it does…
HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO YOU!!!!( While it lasts).

My Teacher

My teacher is very handsome, he is someone I adore,

My energetic partner is a bore compared to my wonderful teacher

The one who I like more.

My teacher (Mr Dean) is so amazing,

Life would be so boring it would seem

Without my wonderful teacher, the awesome Mr Dean!

Monkeys

What’s that blur of brown flying through the trees?
It’s swinging, no skimming branches, flinging itself through the canopy!
Not scared, no knobbly knees!
It’s a troop of monkeys!

Today

Guess what!?
Today I saw a hare, that was the size of a bear!
Today (nothing new) I saw an ant as big as a shoe,
Today, a tarantula escaped from Whipsnade Zoo,
Today, I must confess, I saw a fly as big as a party dress!
Dear child are you sure that’s true?
Of course Mummy! You were there TOO!

Cold

Shivery, shakey, snowy too
I just want to be in bed with you
Cuddle up in in front of the fire watching the snowflakes on the window
Seeing the snowman smile
I love cold air blowing in my face
