The Beach

by Emma aged 10

The waves are the wind.
Boom! went the waves crashing onto the rocks.
We had fun, as the sand hit my hand.
The Beach makes me happy.
It was wet, wet, wet.
White water, shimmered in the reflection of the Moon.
The Sun smiled
I ran like a cheetah!

I Love Butterflies!

Hello, I’m Summer
and I like butterflies’

I think I’ll catch one in my net
So I can keep one as a pet.

For just a while to see its wings
up close they are such pretty things.

I’ll let my friends all have a look
and write about it in a book.

Beliefs of All Types

by Jielan Akkia Mahary aged 10

I have my belief and so do you,
I think it’s good, I wonder if you do…
Nobody should think bad of their belief
Because it won’t give them any grief.

Beliefs are special, don’t you think?
They aren’t something like a simple wink.
If you feel ashamed of your belief because of others,
Just tell someone how you feel, like your mother.

I’m a person who’s sometimes sensitive,
That’s why I’m not always active.
If I fail other people might emotionally blow off
So when I am playing I don’t show off,

Everyone should be fine with a religion,
Nobody should make a rude exclamation.
If someone is another religion, you could try to be their friend,
If you’re in a tight position, they could defend.

This is a message for everyone,
Once you get the meaning you’re done.
I hope you learn I’m yearning,
I myself am always learning…

A Tween’s Christmas

by Runo Ededjo

Dear Santa,

I’ve been fairly good this year
I’m sure you would agree,
Just ask your elves and they will tell
Just you wait and see!

Tidying my room without being asked
Has become quite a normal thing
And washing the plates (which I hate)
I do with the pride of a king!

So this year I ask for something
That is quite, well… different
A pair of trainers and a jumper
Will make me feel quite pleasant.

I’d like to say I’m ‘Growing Up’
And acting more mature
And with the Grace of God I’ll carry on
And good deeds I’ll do more!

Alex Claire, liked to text without getting any rest.
She didn’t have any time to make a single dime.

One day, Alex texted a stranger which led to great danger.
She thought he had great fame but didn’t know he was really lame.

After eating, Alex got beaten. But before that, she lied to mama
that she was going over to Sasha’s.

And mama said my poor baby is gone,
she didn’t even wait to see dawn

Magician Dr Eldoonie
Would probably beat Rooney
Gosh, 255 tricks
For Rooney that’s like 1000 kicks!

My Castle

by Isabelle Green aged 10

My castle stands tall and proud
above sad shades of blue and green

The sea is chasing the mango sunset
that is burning above the horizon

The big bare sky
has blending colours of pink and brown

In the distance the clouds are like warriors
fighting in a never ending battle

The isolated cliffs are like chipped peices of solid gold
locked in the most dirty dull dark prison

The castle Is made of old chisled stone
strong enough that the most treacherous beast
will not be able to enter

The turrets are like dragon skins
rotting in the damp rain

The wind carries the golden flag
through the emerald hills

This is my castle
What is yours?

Laughter

He’s funny as a bunny,
but then his tummy started
to ache
when he ate a cake.
He started to be as funny as a bunny
But in May he is like a dummy.

Being Sick

by Tazkia Dokrat aged 8

Being sick
Is not my pick,
It needs a kick
Not a lick!
You sometimes get bored
It just can’t be ignored,
Tell your lord
Who probably has a Ford
That being sick
is not my pick.

Christmas

by Harshita Das aged 10

Christmas is here
With snow and ice
Santa Claus with presents
For those who are nice

Jingling the bells
Reindeer with the sleigh
All being happy
And going Neigh! Neigh!

Playing with presents
Placed on the tree
Christmas is finally here
YIPEE!!!
