Oreo the Rabbit


She is a rabbit that looks like a velvety ball of oreo biscuits.  She can jump high because she has very springy legs.  Her creamy white necklace is as beautiful and a butterfly.  Her sharp claws make her fierce.  She is as soft as a feathered pillow.  Her coat is chocolaty brown, snowy white and midnight black.  We love Oreo.

Molly and Lila

The rabbit is a milky white ball. Her nose twitches like a wiggly worm.  She is the size of an armadillo.  Her teeth are as sharp as a sword fish.  She’s chocolaty in colour.  Her tummy is an eggy colour and her back is black and midnight.  We like her when she eats Amy’s pants!

Mackala and Ollie

She is puffy like a penguin.  She is as black as a shadow.  Her neck is brown like a kangaroon.  Her tail is like fluffy snow ball.  She has claws that are as sharp as a sword.  We like how she is soft and cuddly.

Lizzie and Ruby

She is a soft black velvety ball with a chocolate brown necklace.  Her bouncy strong legs help her to hop very high.  Her long droopy ears listen for danger.  Her twitching nose is tickly.  A milky brown ring sits around her eyes and she has a little white tail like a snow ball.  Her claws are as sharp as a chainsaw.  She has an otter’s colouring like and oreo biscuit.  Her eye sight is very good.  She can almost see straight behind her and she can see straight in front of her.  We all love her because she is the school’s favorite pet.

The Lion of Paris - Descriptive Poems


We read an amazing story today called A lion in Paris.  It's about the lion statue that was built in 1880 in Place Denfert-Rochereau. (that's very hard to pronounce!)  The children wrote descriptive poems about the lion.

mysterious brave lion
was an amazing sight
handsome
brave
People around him stare in awe
Bronze black
Silver stone plinth
Paris lion

Lachlan


amazing proud beast
curious from his resting place
waiting for someone to notice him
he is a lonely king
roaring
waiting
enchanted handsome lion

Julia and Katie

The majestic lion king
siting there all Saturday morning
every year hearing the some noise
cars toting motorbikes
beeping like its never going to end
tall tower’s shadow overpower
like zombies rising from the dead
feeling sad

by  Paige and Elizabeth

Mysterious coal black beast
Handsome, muscular and confident
Roaring
“Notice me!” he roars
Bronze and stone
Cold heart
Lonely
Yet surrounded by people
Where is my pride he wonders
Alone

by Fergus and Logan

The brave King
Defiant lion
Muscular and fierce
Surveying the Eifel tower
Intelligent beast
Waiting 135 years for a real life
Dreaming of the free world,
of the wildness,
of his friends
his pride
Proud Paris king
