Winter

Winter is soooooooooooooooooooo much fun,
You can start thinking about Christmas and you can wear woolly jumpers,
I love getting a Christmas tree with lots of different decorations,
But at the start of winter I think about all of the things
that I have done in the summer holidays.
Spending time with my friends and family,
Going in the pool,
Also sunbathing.
I’m so sad that summer is over,
But I am looking forward to Christmas!!!!!!!!!!

Aliens

Aliens are slimy,
Aliens are squishy,
Aliens are greeeeen!
Aliens are weird,
Aliens are like jelly,
Aliens live on Mars

Gone

I have this little teddy
I hug him every night,
but when I woke up he was gone
I grew up with him
and I thought he would last forever,
week after week
I was looking for him
but I never found him,
I had tears in my eyes.

Power

Everyone has got a power
Girls, boys, everyone.
I’ve got a power, not quite a super power
Should I tell you?
It’s writing poems
I told you it’s not a proper super power
but it’s a super power.
I have to go now
It’s my bed time
See you later
Bye!

Summer

I LOVE summer
the warm sun as it shines on me

I LOVE summer
because I can start getting my pool out

I LOVE summer
because I can play in the park with my friends
and it’s so warm

I LOVE summer but it coming to a end
Can I have one more day?

Pleeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeease?

To all those asking for violence, you will have to look elsewhere,
Because we youths of today have decided to make a change,
We need no money to cause violence, burn houses, kill people,
If that money will make me lose my brother, I say NO.

I need not think about violence, racism, rich or poor,
God made you and I out of peace, why should you cause violence?
I don’t care if you are black, white or yellow,
We will still be together, NO – I won’t accept violence.

But as long as we wear white to weddings and black to funerals,
As long as we believe that white is holy and black is sin,
As long as we believe that no black shall lead a white…
If you don’t love peace, definitely you will love a piece of violence.

PEACE STARTS WITH YOU AND I.

Girl Power

I play like a girl,
I run like a girl,
I learn like a girl,
I have girl power!

I win like a girl,
I draw like a girl,
I think like a girl,
I have girl power

I eat like a girl,
I dance like a girl,
I talk like a girl,
I have girl power!

I act like a girl,
I perform like a girl,
I sleep like a girl,
because I have girl power!!

Call the Ambulance

by Phoebe aged 8

Oh no,
My sister fell down the stairs,
Call the ambulance.
Oh no,
My mum broke her toe,
Call the ambulance.
Oh no,
My dad fell off the trampoline,
Call the ambulance.
Now it’s just me and my brother,
Suddenly,
He pushes me out of the window,
“Oh no”, he says,
“Call the ambulance!”
Then he broke his foot,
Oh no,
Call the ambulance,
Now there’s nobody left in the house!

A Life Lesson

by Harit Gangwani

Going towards the future, withering away from the past
Oh, there is so much of a contrast.
Those memories linger around
The first seashell I found.

It is so complex,
The maths of our life.
The moment we let go of joy,
And find it tough to strive.

The people whom we once met,
The people who mattered
Leaving them to go out there and earn
Not letting our dreams be shattered.

But why live so far
From people close to you?
Just to fill up your pockets
Instead of soothing your tired heart too
