Snack

I really wanted a snack

But mum said “GO BACK!”

I was really mad

And I knew mum felt bad.

 

Five minutes later

Mum shouted “Mater”

I was really happy

But then I had to change my brother’s nappy!

Cats and Hats

Once there was a cat

That ate a rat,

There was a hat

That had a chat.

OUCH!

Once I saw my dear friend Zog

Who stood on a cog

How he said ‘ow’

Now I will be a cow!

The Dairy

I went to the dairy

But all the milk was hairy

And it was really scary.

My Puppy Ben

My Puppy is called Ben

He’s not even ten

And he has his own pen.

There once was a cute little dog

Who very much liked to jog

He had a very good friend who was a cat

They made homemade bats

But they never made them on foggy days

ZOO

In Mr Magoos amazing zoo you will find:

A perfectly peculiar parrot

Phoning a carrot.

A filthy fantastic fox

Flipping off rocks.

A rare risky rat

Running to catch the cat.

A friendly familiar fish

Flipping around in a dish.

A mysterious majestic monkey

Riding on a donkey.

An annoying armadillo

Falling asleep on a pillow.

By Abbie

 

Last night I was playing football

I tripped and fell over the wall.

I started bouncing to the hall

There was no J20 at all.

By Dylan

 

The Undersea World

The sea is a wonderful place

The fishes are holding a race.

The undersea garage is open

And that’s lucky because Mr Crab’s car is broken.

The young fishes are going to school

They all think that school is really cool.

One little fish is late

And this really worries his mate.

But then they find him playing

And he doesn’t see the search party coming because he is too busy saying….

“Hi, how are you?” to a mouse

Round the back of his house.

By Tali

 

The Phoneys Baloney

I once met a phoney

He gave me a baloney.

I learned his name

Which brought me to fame.

And then became really bonnie.

By Ruby

 

The Dog!

Who tripped over a log

He got stuck in a cone

When he got out there was a bone

And that was the reward for the dog.

By Emma

 

The meat and feet

I like to eat a lot of meat

And I like the smell of my own feet

I tried to put them over my head

But then I ended up dead.

By Sabienne

 

In the summer I like to play

All through the big long day

It’s so fun

My friend made a great pun.

By Katy

 

Ellie is so cool

But she hates the bull because he’s very cold

And really, really old!

To the Future

Flying cars

A trip to mars

Back to earth

oh how I wish I could see the stars.

By Poppy

 

A cat and a bat

Once there was a fat cat

He was looking for a bat

The bat screamed like a baby

But the cats name was Taby

Then the fat cat ate the black bat.

By Poppy

 

The Ocean

In the ocean there are lots of things you’ll find.

Here are a few things that come to mind…

They’re big fish and small fish

Lots of different shapes.

Sometimes if I really wish,

I see them wearing capes.

Let’s go deeper down in the sea,

To see now what lives there.

A seahorse that didn’t look like me

And clothes he didn’t wear.

Let’s go deeper, deeper still,

into the murky pool.

I wonder if I ever will

see a big shark fool.

Now our journey comes to an end,

Come on now let’s go my friend.

And it’s time now to get fed,

So then I can sleep, in my warm bed.

By Ben
