Poetry Recital

Over the past few weeks we have been busy practising reciting our poems aloud. We had a class poetry recital and we all did a fantastic job- Miss O'Brien was very proud!
Trisan and Sonya were selected as the finalists to enter the Middle School Poetry Competition. They both showed lots of courage to stand up and recite their poems in front of heaps of children, parents and teachers. The standard of all the finalists was very high, the judges had a really tough job deciding on the placings. Trisan was fortunate enough to win the year 3 competition- Congratulations!

Tulip Poems

Spring is in the air! We decided to write creative poems about tulips, let us know what you think!

Spring Tulips
Colourful tulips
dancing back and forth
Oval, bright colours
like a rainbow in the sky.
Soft, sweet petals
flying high and low
singing happily
in the breeze.
