I Am Poem
The following are poems that tell us who the writers are 
and they help promote deeper thinking.

We are learning to write "I Am Poem" using amazing adjectives.

I am good at sports and always happy
I wonder why when you put oil with water the oil always floats
I hear birds and wind brushing through the wind
I see beautiful butterflies and birds   
I want to be with animals
I am a gymnast and I’m friendly.

I pretend to be dead sometimes
I feel sad when others are sad

I pretend that I am a monkey swinging the trees
I feel the fairy monkey’s hair
I touch the rough vines when I swing off

I hear birds tweeting a sweet song to me all day long
I see a golden heart shining to me as if it was God’s heart

I am kind and unique.

I pretend to be a golden crunchy peanut-butter unicorn
I feel loved by everyone I meet

I say Jesus is real
I dream about programing video games
I try my best at my work
I hope that I do good at high school

I wonder about the world,
I hear the creaking noises of my two-story house at night,
I see monsters made out of different objects in my room at night.
I want to upgrade to squads in swimming,
I am secretive and shy.

I pretend to be a variety of different animals,
I feel safe in a path dusted with falling leaves in autumn,
I touch the freezing cold running water,
I worry about people close to my heart,
I cry only when I am really depressed,
I am secretive and shy.

I understand that people think I'm not shy.
I say that I'm ok when I'm not,
I dream about things that people would never expect,
I try my hardest in all areas.
I hope to get a Labrador Retriever to share my life with,
I am secretive and shy.

I wonder how did the earth come to be.

during the weekend
I am good at walking my dog.

I see an amazing world
I want to be the person that helps the needy
I am unique in my own way.

I pretend to fly and touch the sky
I feel free in making choices
I touch my little sister's chubby cheeks
I worry when something is wrong
I cry tears of joy when I feel happy
I am amazing.

I understand that everything happens for a reason
I say my problems to my family
I dream big to be an actor
I try to do my best in everything
I hope to have and amazing future
I am “Kiana De Awesome”.







Opposite Poems

We wrote these fun "Opposite Poems" 
which speak for themselves.

 Genevieve  
                           A rough day, a smooth night
                             A chilly wind, a warm fire
                              Always sad, never happy
                                  All is lost, no hope
                           The clever dog, a stupid cat
                     Silent as the night, noisy as the day
                       Staying at home, going far away
                       Going on tours, staying at home
                        Going bowling, not being lazy
                            Now excited, not gloomy
                         Getting tired, away from fresh
                            Not tidy, but a huge mess
                  The night has started, the day has ended

 

Riana
Wild as a lion, calm as a cat.
Lazy dog, playful puppy.
Perky kangaroo, sleepy wallaby.
Small as a snail, tall as a giraffe.
Young horse, old horse.
Happy dog, sad cat.
Free as a bird, trapped as a mouse.
Strong rhino, weak kitten.
Sunny day, dark night.
Light as feather, heavy as an elephant.
Quiet as the sky, loud like a dolphin.
Smart wolf, silly tiger.

Benzo
Loud dog barking, quiet cat sleeping
Strong man lifting wood, weak girl being sick
Sunny day for a walk, cold night watching TV
Tasty food out of restaurant, disgusting drinks 
in the pub
Fast plane in the air, slow boy on the beach
Poor family working hard, rich man doing nothing
Hot coffee boiling, cold water freezing
Dirty clothes being cleaned, clean food
being eaten
Working computer in Technology, broken house
being repaired
Hard work at school, less answers
to easy questions
Tall mountains in the forest, small hills in the village
Interesting news on TV, boring games
on the computer
Heavy animals in the farm, light feather in the classroom.
 
Molly
Brown like a tree, green like a leaf
Tall and strong man, small and skinny woman
Handsome prince, ugly frog
Hot chocolate , cold smoothie
Polite princess, rude old man
Remember memories, forget pasts
Bright as daylight, dark nights
Dirty Dishes, clean floor
Yummy chippys, old biscuits
Awesome day, tiring mind
Flowers are pretty, slugs aren't
Amazing soap opera, Late night
Heavy stone, light worm
Beer is good, wine is disgusting
Bananas are slimy, apples are juicy
Prince charming, Princess grumpy
Passionate about modelling, dislike takeaways
X factor exciting, Dorisbumpuss book  boring
Unhealthy sweet pie, healthy fruit and veges.
 
Aaron
Ancient pyramids, modern technology
Quiet room, loud outside
Freezing meat, melting cheese
Black cat, white paper
Strong tree, weak bush
Sit down, stand up
Colourful rainbow, bland shadows
Handsome prince, ugly witch
Dangerous gun, safe shelter
Dark knight, light light
Stealthy assassin, noisy rambo
Long cords, short stool
False hackers, legit gamers
Multitasking programer, focused karate master
Awesome world, poopy job
Round donut, stiff tree
Addicted smokers, moderate drinkers
Liquid lava, air oxygen
Paper wins, rock losses
Four limbs, two ears.

Mother's Day


We wrote these fantastic poems dedicated to our wonderful and beloved mothers.

Iuvale

Mum, I love you very much
More than anything
I love you ever since
You put on that wedding ring
I hated how you put the tapes around the house.
I would run away, like a little mouse.
I love how you still love me.
Even when I ripped your clothes.
And also while you sleep I used to pinch your  nose.
But thank you, mum
for loving me no matter what I do.
But I am now the great person I am.
All because of you.


Kiana
Mother, our most cherished loved one
Giving unlimited and loving care.
Your love is unconditional and support never dies.
You give food for us to eat and water for to drink.

No matter what happens  
You are always there to help.
Your smiles can brighten up any moment.
Your hugs put joy in all our days.
Mum's love will stay with us, forever.....

The values you've taught me,
The care you've given
The wonderful love you've shown,
You've enriched my life
In more ways I can’t count.

Happy Mother's Day, Mum! ^_^

Christopher

You gave me the most fun I want to have
You inspire me to do my best
You are the best Mum I could ever have
You are my Mum.
You went through a lot of pain
To bring me into this world that we live in
I thank you for all the things
You have done for me in my life.

You help me when I am sad
You help me with my homework
You help me choose the right decision
You work so hard for us to have fun together
You let me get a dog after the earthquake
to make me happy
You gave me an Xbox, the new one
Thank you, Mum. Happy Mother’s Day.

Kaleb
Hunter and I love you very much.
You help us when we're stuck with something.
You make us food and drinks.
You put me in a good school.
You buy us clothes and other cool things.
You put me in sports clubs that I like.
You look after us when we're sick.
You take us to our school.
You teach us many different things.
You love us a lot and care for us.
But what we love most about you 
is that you are our Mum.

Molly
My mum is the only one I can really understand. 
I can basically tell her anything. 
Mum had a terrible life growing up.


Mum has been an inspiration 
All she’s ever wanted for me is to be what she never was.


Whenever she falls she gets right back up and that is amazing. We have a very complicated family and mum is always the one fixing it.


Mum raised me to be a mature young woman and she has got what she wanted.


Mum is kind, caring and supportive of me and my sister. 
I love her so much I couldn't ask for a better mother. 
Thank you for being the best mum.


Happy Mother’s Day, Mum! 

Vishay
Mothers are caring,
They make food to fill our tummies,
They are the most wonderful people in the world.

Mum, you buy me games,
and you got a console from me,
You are nice when you take me to a restaurant.
You paid for my camps and sports.

Your are nice,
Your are careful,
Your are loving,
Your are funny.

You are always there for me when I get hurt.
You bought me a bike for Christmas and when someone came and stole it you bought me another one.
You broke the fights with my sister
when we were little
You are the best Mum anyone can have. 

Genevieve

Mothers are lovely,
Mothers are sweet,
Mothers give us good things to eat.


Mothers are bright,
Mothers are stern,
Mothers give us the opportunity to learn.


You are funny,
You are great,
I hope you’ll be happy on this important date.


You are happy,
You are special,
You are the most helpful.

Benzo

My mum is always kind to me
She helps me all through my life
She cooks my food
She pays for my school
She give me clothes and shelter
She always encourages me 
no matter what I do.

 Thank you, Mum
For all the things you do
You love me and take care of me
You give your hugs and kisses
Thank you for all you have done for me.

Mum you are the best
Without you, I wouldn't be here today
Thank you mum for everything
you have done
Happy Mother’s Day.

 Lexi
My mum is the person that helps me when I get down
My mum is the person that makes me go and change when in winter I walk out of the house in shorts and a t-shirt
My mum is the person that gives me hugs when I get hurt
My mum is the person that tells me what to do when I think I know how to cook
My mum is the person that puts a smile on my face when I go to school and when I come home
My mum is the person that gave me that best siblings I could ask for
My mum is the person that teaches me new ways to do my hair
My mum is the person that tells me to get rid of all the clothes that I don't need even when I don't want to
My mum is the person that I will always look up to
My mum is the person that made me who I am today
My mum is the person that I will never take for granted
My mum is the person that I love.

Owen
Mothers are cool, mothers are special and they’ll always be there for you when you’re in need. Mothers they think you’re special.


Mum you have always been there when I fell over 
or ran into something or grazed my knee. 
My mum you always forgive me 
when I do something bad.


You let me have the freedom I want to, 
you remind me to do my chores, 
you remind me to get out of bed in the morning.


You are a great mother Mum. 
In my opinion you're the best in the world. 
You put me in this world, 
you went through suffering to do so 
and that's why I think you're an awesome mum.

Mabel
Who cares for me and guides me?
I can feel your love and gentleness
As you walk through life with me.

You do great things for me every day
You whisper in my ear
You have a special place for me in your heart
When I'm filled with fear.

When I'm sad you hug me and try to make me smile
When  I'm happy you laugh with me and share the fun
You respect me and love me.

My mum is the best and always loves me
And she is so proud of me
She has been with me forever
She has watched me grow.

She has taught me so much
And I'm the lucky one who gets
to call her...Mum.
 Amby
When my mum was little she always told the truth.
My mum looks after me even though she is mad at me
My mum will try to make the best Christmas for us even though she had no money
She will buy me things if I don't even ask her to do it
She sent me money to pay for my school fees
She is always proud of me even though I lose in a game
She hugs me when I'm really scared
She teaches me how to do Maths.
Happy Mother’s Day, Mum!

Chiara
You gave me the most beautiful life ever.
You make me laugh when I'm sad.
You come to talk to me when I'm alone.
You and I fight a lot but we forgive.

You let me have sleepovers when I'm grounded.
You inspire me to do my best.
You teach me how to be nice to Eliana.
Even if Eliana and I fight 
you treat us with kindness.

You do everything for me.
You understand what's like 
having a bigger, annoying sister.
Your always fun to be around.
You except the choices I make.
You cheer me on when I have races, 
and I appreciate it so much.

You let me have a lot of chances 
when I lie to you.
You have never hurt me.
You make my life better.
You are the best in the world mum.

Aaron
My Mum helps me whenever I’m in trouble
She always  cooks food whenever I’m hungry
She drives me to school when I’m late
She also reminds me to do my homework.

Sometimes we argue here and there 
but she always loves me.
Once I broke my ankle and she cared for me.
I also went to hospital, I don’t remember 
why I went there, but she cared.

I always love you, Mum even when we argue
You’re one year older than Dad
You give out hugs and kisses to my brother and I
You teach me how to cook
You also tell me what clothes for me to wear
For me, Mum is the best.
Thank you, Mum.

Nicholas
My Mum gave me the best life
That any mother could do
She raised me to who I am.
My Mum cooks for me but not microwave food
I have the best Mum in the world.

My Mum helps me with my homework
She looks after me
She lets me go out with my friends.
Mum teaches me everyday and she will for the rest of my life.

She wants me to do good in life
She lets me go to the beach
She lets me play with my Xbox and PS4
She pays the rent in our house.
Mum is the best mother I could have.

Nikita
Mum you are amazing, so sweet as sweet as an apple pie
You have always been supportive of my dreams, I could fly!
You've been super helpful with my awful dyslexia which I hate
You go fishing with me with the absolutely perfect bait.

I love everything you've done for me in my whole entire life
Even when I do things that contain loads and loads of grief.
I always make sure your Mother's Day is absolutely perfect
You always thank me for trying to give you loads of respect.

You transferred me to a better and expensive school for a reason
Your favourite time of the year is your hibernating season.
I try my hardest to help you relax but for me that's a hard task
So I go ahead to go and do one thing I'm good at, always to ask.

I ask for your happiness but you just smile gently at me
There's one thing you always say to me nothing is free.
I lean on your shoulder but then you have to cook dinner
Mum you always wish for just be a lottery winner.
