Personification Poem by Lucy

I live in outside.
I can see butterflies and bees in the morning.
I cannot move.
I am afraid of humans that are near me.
I dream of becoming very beautiful.
I come in different colours and different types.

My name is love.

My Personification Poem

I work in a classroom

I like pencils dull and round

I used to live in Smiggle

Pens are my worst enemies

Erasers are my best friends

I dream of working for the Queen

I have siblings all over the world

Scissors are my neighbors 

My name is Long Pencil Lover

Chinese New Year (CNY)

We've had a great few days in preparation for Chinese New Year. We have started to write poems and enjoyed the festivities put on around school such as assemblies and performances. The senior school entertained us with games from China and we watched the traditional lion dance.
Here is an example of the Chinese New Year poems we are writing which has been made into a poster. We are continuing our poem writing with the use of similes and metaphors in rhyming couplets which will be turned into performance poems.
We've really enjoyed the festivities as we welcome in the Year of the Horse! Do you celebrate Chinese New Year, also called Lunar New Year? What are you celebrating around this time of year? What is your favourite poem? Do you have some poems you'd like to share with us?

We Love the Library!

Our library visit is every Friday and we just love the time to sit quietly and read for enjoyment our favorite books or to have Mr Shaun's help in discovering something new. Reading is such an important skill because it helps us to be lifelong learners, finding out information when we want on any number of topics! Some of us enjoy reading magazines, novels, graphic novels or nonfiction. What is your favorite book?
