Feelings Poetry

We have been learning to write interesting sentences about our feelings to create a poem. Read some examples below.

When I am happy, I want to smile as wide as a crocodile.
When I am sad, I want to say bad words and hide.
When I am mad, I want to stomp and stamp.
When I am curious, I want to go onto the internet and find out about it.
When I am bored, I want to wander into my own world and stay there forever.
When I am shy, I want to go to people I know.

By Rory

When I am happy, I want to smile like a clown.
When I am sad, I want to lock myself in a small, dark room forever.
When I am mad, I want to turn into an immortal fire demon and set everything on fire.
When I am curious, I want to be like a ninja and stealthily find out what the people are doing.
When I am proud, I want to celebrate by having a party.
When I am bored, I want to play games on my Nintendo Wii.
When I am shy, I want to blend into the crowd and be unseen.
When I am guilty, I want to tell the truth so I won't have that bad feeling anymore.

Quickwrites

Three times a week we write as quickly as we can for three minutes. Here are some of our quickwrites.

My weekend was wonderful because I went to Chipmunks with Ernie, Zane and Briana. I slid down on the big slide because it's bumpy. On the way down I shouted Wheeee! I use the ball gun to shoot some colourful balls. I ate a chocolate chip cookie and I drank some water. After Chipmunks we had Wendy's for dinner. By Danika

Winter is cool because I get to go to lots of places. At night I get to snuggle up in my warm bed. The thing I don't like about winter is that it rains a lot. Also you have to stay inside a lot. By Callum

My weekend was really amazing because we got to put up a tent in my backyard to see how big it was and how good it was. We put it up because we are getting ready to go camping in the Christmas holidays with our family. When we opened the tent we were so happy and surprised because we got to go in the tent and we got it up, it was huge! By Stephanie

Winter is fun because I like to snuggle up in bed where it is warm and cosy. I don't like it because I can't go outside. By Blake
