Spring Poems

Well done for using the powerful adjectives and imagery

My Spring poem

Spring time is garden time

Garden time is planting time

Planting time is flower time

Flower time is bee time

Spring time is bird time

Bird time is nest time

Nest time is chick time

Chick time is chirping time

Spring time is outdoor time

Outdoor time is sunshine

Sunshine is fun times

Fun times is happy times

Spring time is Easter time

Easter time is Easter bunny time

Easter bunny time is egg hunt time

Egg hunt time is chocolate time

By OH

Spring

Rejuvenating breeze sweeps through the branches,

Daffodils angled towards the warm sun,

The birds,how they flutter through trees,

Springtime has begun.

Wildcats gamboling through mossy paths,

Dew sparkles on freshly-cut grass,

Butterflies flutter over wet twigs,

Cool wind plays tag with scarves.

Freshly-sprung flowers peek at the land,

Grown from seeds sown Saturday last,

Happily, birds soar over the fields,

Shiny stones look newly cast.

Brightly-colored eggs appear in the gardens,

Cunningly hidden from determined eyes,

Children roll in muddy-banked streams,

Returning to parents who start to chastise.

Dew has disappeared into the air

Hotter is the sun,  

Springtime has ended,

And Summer has begun.

Written by FM

Grassy meadows,

On a towering hill

Sweet smelling rosemary,

An aloe on the windowsill:

Spring.

Colourful flowers,

A lush green tree,

A climbing grape vine,

Some luscious ivy:

Spring.

Bees in a beehive,

A greenhouse full of food,

A leafy hedge–a natural wall,

Children playing in the woods:

Spring.

An innovative approach to tackle Y5/6 statutory spellings. We like Matilda's story packed with some tricky words and we hope for more Mr Whoops' adventures soon.

MY SHORT STORY

Once upon a time, there lived a very curious round man called Mr Whoops who burped frequently. He was a secret agent working for the Government.

Mr Whoops was trying to achieve his dream goal, that he’s been trying to accomplish since he was a little boy, determined to arrest the master villain JELLY LEGS! He was the most  mischievous villain ever to walk - or should i say slide - on this very planet.

One morning when Mr Whoops woke up there was an exaggerated banging on the door, when Mr Whoops opened the door there was an angry mob of village people shouting out JELLY LEGS name saying “we want him gone”! As they all left Mr Whoops by himself, he put his agent uniform on and set out to defeat Jelly Legs.

Mr Whoops found a yacht on the river, he inspected it very closely and found blobs of jelly smudged all over the boat cushions and seats, it was slimy and smelt like fresh fruit. Mr Whoops said to himself  “Jelly always leaves a trail”, suddenly he heard loud screams coming from the mountains so he quickly jumped into a rather large vehicle and zoomed up to the mountains.

He found 2 people hanging off of a high cliff, Mr Whoops immediately spotted jelly legs pointing a gun at their heads shouting “Give me your money and i shall spare your lives”. Mr Whoops jumped out the vehicle and pointed a bigger gun, which was full of sleeping darts, pointed it at jelly legs head and told him “you’re under arrest”. With that jelly legs slid away as fast as he could but he was too slow for Mr Whoops and was shot in the bum with the dart.

JELLY LEGS instantly fell into a deep sleep, Mr Whoops quickly waddled over to the cliff and helped the travellers up back onto the hard ground. They thanked him and thanked him for saving them. As they walked back to the village, Mr Whoops was securing Jelly Legs to take him back to the village and throw him into jail.

When everyone first laid eyes on Mr Whoops they all started to clap and cheer at him, he  felt proud that he had caught the most mischievous villain in town just like he wanted to do since he was a little boy.

From that day on he was known for the most excellent, marvellous agent ever to exist in Whoopsville.

What a great way to cheer us all up - an uplifting story about life coming back to life... well done Aleshya!

Spring story

It was the best of times, it was the worst of times it was an age of wisdom.

There were flowers and trees that smelt like fresh honey, with beauty spreading and it was lovely.

The sun was shining bright in the sky, flowers growing sprout by sprout.

The smell of fresh orange juice filled the air, it was spring.

There were bluebells and daffodils that covered the grass, some would pick them for parents and family.

Happiness spread when it was spring, everyone was joyous and glad to be here.

When spring passed people would miss it, but they’d always remember the time that it was here.

The bees that would take the pollen, the butterfly’s flying over their heads.

 Eating ice-cream whenever they wanted[within reason].

Most of all playing outside and having a good time with friends and family.

Spring is a time to be grateful and look at life, see the beauty around them and say it is nice.

For flowers and trees make it beautiful, but the time with family and friends makes it special.

A great choice of adjectives and a very atmospheric poem.

THE BENCH

Tired and shabby you stand quietly in the park

You’ve had thousands of visitors, yet appear neglected

Sad and unloved, yet so inviting

The wind blows gently, the trees swish and sway

Yet you stand firm, welcoming more visitors

By Beau
