Wind Acrostic Poems

August 19, 2010

From Abbey’s ePortfolio:

M essing around like a soft breeze

I ‘m always zipping around peoples knees,

S wifting through all the leaves

T hat children have used their arms to heave,

R ain is one of my best friends

A nd tornadoes are the ones that bend,

L ate in the night I twist and I turn until the next day has begun. :D

Z ooming through all of the trees

E ating up all of the bees,

P lacing myself down in the galley below

H elping the leaves carry themselves down low,

Y es I love my job been able to twirl

R ather this than been a human that hurls!! :D

From Max’s ePortfolio

G oogling down the mountain

A lmost leaving nothing in it’s way

L eaving nothing up right

E ven still wreaking havoc at the end of the day.

T urning and turning

O ver and over

R oaring and roaring

N othing and nothing

A gain and again

D estroying and Destroying

O ver and over

Fun with Poetry

July 22, 2010

We have begun the term with some fun nonsense poetry, called Chiddlewaddle Diddlewaddle Doo.  Here are Lochy and Grace’s Poems, make sure you check out the other poems on the students’ ePortfolios!

Hop-hop on a kangaroos sock,

Snore-snore on a beaches shore,

Go to bed with a bit of led,

Chiddlewaddle Diddlewaddle Doo!

Waddle-waddle on a turkys gobble,

Poor-poor with a glass of shore,

Don’t be shy with a old mans pie

Chiddlewaddle Diddlewaddle Doo!

Tuter-tuter says the mans puter,

Shoot-shoot the dumb guys flute,

Go to sleep counting sheep,

Chiddlewaddle Diddlewaddle Doo!

Ski-ski on a big fat flea,

Laugh laugh with some bath,

Make your lunch with a painful punch,

Chiddlewaddle Diddlewaddle,

Chiddlewaddle Diddlewaddle

Chiddlewaddle Diddlewaddle Doo!

By Grace

Rip rip on a tumbling tip.

Claw claw on a fat cats paw.

Go to bed feeling like red.

Chiddlewaddle diddlewaddle doooooooo!

Stab stab a farmers stag.

kill kill abatmans till.

Go to home on a garden knome.

Chiddlewaddle diddlewaddle doooooooo!

Jump jump on a bottle of pump.

Eat eat something sweet.

Go to school and swim the pool.

Chiddlewaddle diddlewaddle doooooooo!

Ping ping on someones swing.

Buy buy a fat fly.

Go to sleep and try not to weep.

Chiddlewaddle diddlewaddle

Chiddlewaddle diddlewaddle

Chiddlewaddle diddlewaddle doooooooo!
