If You Fail

In your exams, if you fail
You will tell a tale
But you won’t get a tail!

The Cursed Chair

1 February 20, 2018
by Pragun aged 12

There is this chair
In our village.
That is said to be cursed.
We call it the cursed chair.
It became cursed because
Of a criminal,
Who lived in our village.
Once, he was caught
For committing some crime.
He was to be hanged.
Before being hanged,
He said
‘Whoever sits on this chair,
Will die under mysterious conditions.’
And so
Whoever sat on it,
Died under mysterious conditions.
We believe it is a cursed chair.
But there was an old man who said,
All that is not true.’
We didn’t agree.
‘Fine,’ said he. ‘I will sit on the chair
And show you that it isn’t cursed.’
We tried to stop him.
‘Don’t take the risk,
You will die.’
‘Well never mind,’
he replied, ‘I’m old.
It’s okay if I die.’
All our efforts were in vain.
He sat on the chair.
Nothing happened.
After one day, he’s fine.
After two days, he’s fine.
But after three days,
News spread everywhere,
Like fire spreads in a house.
The old man died
Under mysterious conditions.

Autumn Leaves

Leaves, leaves
look at all the colours
red, orange, yellow.
Jump and make leaf piles
and jump in them all
The fun we have
but it can’t last forever

Nature

1 February 19, 2018
by Yasmin Deith aged 9

A wiggly, waggly worm,
A slippery, slimy slug,
A creepy, crawly, buzzy thing,
A tickerly, wickerly bug,
Of all the things to be
I am happy that I am me!

Farming

4 February 19, 2018
by Elsie aged 11

Driving along in the tractor
Harvesting crops in the summer
You own lots of tractors
Ford, Massie, John Dear, that is just three of them.
The combine driving along,
Tractor and trailer alongside it,
Feeding the chickens some corn,
Making bales of hay
Wrapping them precisely,
The bales all stacked up,
To fill the cattle all up,
This is the life on a farm!

Magic

by Anika Fisher aged 9

Misty waves flow into me
The glow of magic is everywhere
You can’t see it but it is there
Believe,
Anything is possible,
Even magic.
Choose a path to follow that leads you to
Feel love,
Friendship.
Smile to everyone and everywhere
You are not alone, magic is with you
It makes your mind explode
It is made by…
SCIENCE!
Feel your magic
It is in you
You just need to
Stay positive and you need
BELIEF.
Magic is everywhere.

Perfect

by Tazkia Dokrat aged 9

Is it the way I walk
Or how I talk,
How I look
Or what’s in my notebook?
On this planet
Leaks sadness in a blanket
We’re always judged
Or even nudged
Is it the clothes I wear
How I style my hair
Are my teeth not straight?
Sure, I’m no saint
D’you think it’s low self-esteem
Or will I never be supreme?
Am I not skinny enough
As fat as a cream puff
Is it ‘cos I bite my nails?
All these honest tales
I’m not yet done
I’m not even fun
I look into the mirror
But there’s no glimmer
Just me staring back
Is it beauty I lack?
Are my feet too long
Were they shaped wrong
Am I just a nerd?
Really, it’s inferred
Why couldn’t God give me the gift
The gift to give my reputation a lift
Perfection’s what I need
So I can transform from this weed
Sometimes I wonder
Then after I ponder
Is anyone perfect?
Well yes, it’s beauty they collect
God made me
Shaped me
Formed me
Into this human I am
But really I have my own glam
Everyone Is perfect
That’s why you should never neglect
Everyone’s perfect just as they are.
So, am I perfect, well yes I am.
