Down by the bay by Lara

Down by the bay

Down by the bay,

Where the watermelons grow,

Back to my home,

I dare not go.

For if I do,

My mother will say,

Did you ever see a lion sobbing and crying?

Down by the bay.

Jasmine's Camp Poem

Camp Poem

Another fun day was rising,

As other people were realizing,

That today was the day for the beach!

We all hopped into the bus,

Without any fuss,

Though the top of

the bus was out of reach.

Morning tea is very close

And all my food is very gross.

The black sand is steaming hot.

Learning how to recognize a rip

makes me want to bite my lip.

Thinking about this

Makes me want

to trot.

Lunch is super near

I smell the fear

For me to eat!

Ran down the glittery sand

slipping off my hand,

Beating my feet on the ground

with the best beat!

Alice's Summer Poem

Summer Poem

Summer smells like the strong salty sea water travelling up my nose when I walk across the beach. I can smell fish and chips as families picnic on the beach at sunset.  

        

Summer sounds like waves crashing onto the wet slippery rocks. I can hear seagulls squawking as they circle over my head, looking for their next meal.

Summer tastes like delicious chocolate ice-cream melting in my mouth. I can taste the salty sea water swirling in my mouth after I get dunked by a wave.

Summer looks like the sun beaming on the deep blue shimmering sea. I can see people sunbathing in the burning hot sun. People are splashing in the shallow blue sea. I love watching seagulls flying high in the bright blue sky.

Summer feels like the soft, silky, hot sand on the bottom of my feet. I can feel the sharp shells pinching my feet. I can feel the freezing cold sea splashing on my body.

Down by the Bay

We listened to the song "Down By the Bay" by Raffi. We then wrote our own versions that included nonsense rhymes. Then we created art to show our verse of the song.

First we got our Thinking Skills book and drew a picture of an animal doing something silly that rhymed. Then we got a big piece of white paper and drew our pictures in white chalk. Then we coloured our pictures of our animals in using crayons, leaving the white chalk uncoloured.Then we dyed it with black dye. The dye turned our white chalk lines black.

This is my picture:

Down by the bay

Where the watermelons grow

Back to my home

I dare not go.

For if I do

My mother will say

"Have you ever seen a hog

Kissing a log?"

Down by the bay.

Summer

Summer

Summer smells like the salty waves splashing onto the sand. I can smell sunblock stench rubbing off.

Summer sounds like kids playing in the hot sun. I can hear the sea foaming onto the sand.

Summer tastes like ice cream melting in my cone. I can taste an ice block melting in my mouth.

Summer looks like sandcastles washing away. I can see seagulls so high it sky with the blinding sun. I can see kids playing with a beach ball.

Jasmine's Senses Poem

Summer Senses

    Summer smells like the mouth-watering scent of sausages being grilled on a steaming barbecue. As I ride past the windy beach, I can smell the salty sea foaming onto the wet sand. I love the delicious smell of Fish n Chips being cooked by my mum.

    Summer sounds like the beautiful birds singing loud and clear like the cow's bells ringing. I can hear little kids singing with the birds. I like to hear pop music from my stereo.

    Summer tastes like the cold vanilla Ice cream melting in my mouth. I can taste the juicy steak fresh of the barbecue. I like to taste the freshly caught, salty Fish 'n Chips.

    Summer looks like a green healthy environment near the beach. I can see the sun shining brightly on the cold, heavy waves pushing me onto shore, As I walk along the golden sand, I love to see the colourful sea shells scattered on the shore.

    Summer feels like the soft sand sliding off my hand like silk. I like to feel the cold water sticking to my body. I enjoy feeling the cold big waves pushing me to shore.

Flies and land in leaves.

The hot sun burns me, 

It hurts my small weak body 

I put on sunscreen

Silly Haiku

I go to school late 

Little miss broke my lunch box 

I'm glad she did it.

NONSENSE!!!!! By Maggie

Nonsense Poem

Nonsense Poem

I entered Ben’s house with the door closed

We watched the TV on a blank screen

It was a sunny day when it was time to go to sleep

There was no sound while Ben was snoring

I woke up in a dream

I drove a car on a stream

It was time for trick or treat on Christmas day

Many people came to our house but we scared them instead

The next day we ate breakfast without opening our mouths

Nick's Awesome Camp Poem

Camp poem

We are about to get going

And we will be flowing

It will always be a sunny day.

We're on the bus ready to go

I will never say no

We're having fun at piha bay.

Here we go off to piha

And I am going to say yeeha

I think this going to be fun.

Learning facts about the ocean

I'm having fun watching henry posing

It's so much fun being in the sun.

We're nearly done at this wonderful place

And it truly has put a smile on our face

The bus is coming pretty soon

It's been the best day ever

Jumping off lion rock I will do never.

I liked looking at the sand dunes.
