Eight rabbits late

For a very important date

Poems about the number 'seven' by BILLEE-JANE

Seven is sporty

Seven is sleek

Seven is the number of the week

Seven little mice running through the fields,

Seven kangaroos hopping in the hills,

Seven magical fairies dancing in my yard,

Make a rhyme about number seven,

It's not very hard!


Another poem about 'seven' by ALISTAIR

Seven iceblock sticks,
running to their surfboards.

Come on girls,

get your leg cords.

LAURA has a poem about the number 'six'

Six chirping birds

in the tree
They are as loud

as they can be.

"Rain, Rain - Soccer Train" by BEN

Me and my dad are going to soccer training

I hope it's still on because now it is raining.

A 'sun-smart' poem by PATRICK

Each day at school

we have some fun,

We show we're cool

wearing hats in the sun!

THANKYOU MRS DUFFY FOR HELPING US WITH THIS POST :>)

IT'S BEEN A DAY (AND WEEK) OF POETRY!

We have been introduced to the world of poetry this week.
*It started with the 'poem about 5' from Elizabeth at INKLESS TALES.
*That inspired us to write a poem for Elizabeth.
*Then after lunch, a poem about '5 firemen' just popped into Bryce's head. He didn't have an ending. That came when we went to the Library because....

GUESS WHAT?
Mrs O read us some poems by Steven Herrick, an Australian children's poet.

We loved 'Lost in the Mist' but our ABSOLUTE favourite was 'Mum and Dad are in Love'.

(1M, you could borrow one of Steven Herrick's books next week - as long as the 'older classes' don't beat you to them. It would be great for Mum, Dad or an older brother or sister to read you some of his funny poems)

Then Mrs O read us 'The Cat on the Mat is Flat' by Andy Griffiths. It had lots of 'at' family words in it.
Next we listened to 'Ed and Ted and Ted's Dog Fred'. We were very clever at picking the rhyming words!
WANT TO LISTEN TO 'ED AND FRED AND TED'S DOG FRED'?

CLICK ON THE BOOK COVER!

You can download 'The Cat on the Mat is Flat' from Andy Griffiths' website. Just click on the 'cat'.
See if you can read it 'ALL BY YOURSELF!

And Bryce's poem?.... You'll have to wait until Monday for that- he wants to post it himself!

While you're waiting, check out the poems on this great site, POETRY 4 KIDS, created by American poet Ken Nesbitt. There are some really funny poems here and he even has links to Steven Herrick!
