CATS

Meow Meow!
Says the very fat alley cat.
Purr Purr!
Look at her lovely ginger fur.
Row Row!
She's getting very tired.
How How!
She needs to be admired.
Zzz Zzz!
She is fast asleep.
Shh Shh!
She had a little peep.
Hush Hush!
Shut your eyes.
When you wake up you can have some delicious, delightful meat pie.
Mmm Mmm!

This is my poem using onomatopoeia. Onomatopoeia is where you can hear the sound in a word and be able to say it.
Example- woof, crash.

SWIMMING
The students dive in the pool
Splash! Splash! Splash!
It's cool!
They kick their legs
Kick! Kick! Kick!
Their legs have to be as straight as pegs.
They take a big breath
Hhh! Hhh! Hhh!
The students paddle with their arms
Wsh! Wsh! Wsh!
They do a tumble turn against the wall
Bang! Bang! Bang!
Their feet are sore
They glide through the water
Swishhhh! Swishhhh! Swishhhh!
The lesson has finished
Yeay! Yeay! Yeay!
They all say.

Shape Poems- Term 4

It is now term 4 and nearly the end of the year. We have been learning about what a shape poem is. A shape poem is where you write a poem around a shape and then rub the shape out. I have written a shape poem about a dog. Here it is.

I am a dog that loves to bark loudly, play games and have lots of attention. When I am really excited I love to jump around ridiculously and bark madly. Exercising is fun. I like to play fetch. I am a cute, cuddly, curios dog but I am not clumsy. I'm athletic. Whoof Whoof!
