Wish Poems

I wish I were                                               I wish I were
An artist                                                      A giraffe
In a museum gallery                                    In a dark jungle
Making an amazing sculpture                      Eating juicy leaves
Carefully.                                                   By stretching.
         by Maia                                                                                               by Ashton


I wish I were                                              I wish I were
A pilot                                                       A lioness
Taking off at the airport                              In the searing jungle
Going fast on the runway                            Hunting for my prey...
Quickly.                                                     Quietly.
      by Charlie                                                                                             by Ashlee

Lightning

Lightning

Lightning is rain pouring.
A shadowy sky glaring down at me.
Bang, crash!
I feel the ground barely shake.
It flashes like fireworks deep to the dull sky.
It scares me!
It thrills me!

A Trip to a Dairy Farm

The cows make milk and we drink the milk. We have it for breakfast.
The cows go into the milking shed and Nic milks them. He puts the cups on the cow's tits.
The milk goes into the pipe and into the vat. It gets stirred around so it doesn't freeze.
The milk tanker takes it away from the farm.                  By Ashton

I saw the cows in the big paddock and then we watched them get milked. The machine goes on the udder and then we tasted the milk but I did not taste it.
When I saw the milk it looked so bubbly. It goes in the pipes and then it goes in the vats. Next it is mixed by the paddle and then farmers get paid for their milk. The milk tanker takes it to have it put into containers.                                                                By Shayla
