Brooke's Descriptive Poem: Spring

Frolicking lambs are like crying babies awakening from sleep.

Springing flowers remind me of leaping frogs jumping out of the water onto lily pads.

Colourful trees are like heaps of rainbows watching over me .

Chilly rivers remind me of icy cubes running down my back .

Beautiful outdoors remind me of good times with my friends .

Kayla's Descriptive Poem: The Beach

Golden sand slips between my feet like uncooked couscous on a warm summer's day,

Overjoyed kids splashing about in the ice cold sea like fully battered wound-up toys while theirparents watch on,

Relaxing adults spread out on their beach towels on the boiling hot sand like sloths, enjoying the sun glistening down on them,

Crashing waves rolling heavily on the forgiving sand like an angry giants stomping every now and then while people try to surf,

Screaming seagulls soaring through the blue sky like an ongoing bell ringing in your ear while you try and eat your fish'n'chips,

Blinding sun beaming down on the people below like a bright light while you enjoy the warmth,

Scrumptious ice-creams dripping through my fingers like snow melting slowly in a massive puddle,

Cosy home is where we go its like a massive security blanket after a long day at the beach.

The Start of a New School Year

Welcome to the 2013 school year! Room Three students have settled into their new school extremely well, and they seem eager to embrace all that Waimea Intermediate offers. I'm excited to be back teaching after the long break, and it was wonderful to meet my new students for the year.
