The Winner Week Seven

Beauty by Katerina Conrad (aged 7)

Beauty is like a fairy dancing, dancing beside a rainbow.
Beauty is like birds and butterflies playing
and singing and winging together.
Beauty is like babies that are sweet, so sweet!
Beauty is like flowers sunbathing in the summer sun.
Beauty is like coloured marbles.
Beauty is like twirly dresses with flowers all over them
Beauty is like soft smiles
That melt anger and ugliness and hate.

The Winner Week Six

Snow by Alessio Grain (aged 6)

Snow is a great big white ghost
That covers all the land
When we walk on snow
We are walking on the ghost

The Winner Week Five

Cats by Amy-Louise Gibson (aged 7)

Cats are soft.
Cats are furry.
Cats are like pillows of fur.
They're black, they're white.
So many different colours.
But out of all the rest
Mine is the best..

The Winner Week Four

Winter by Charlie (aged 7)

Winter is white.
In homes there are fires.
Nutcrackers crack nuts.
Too many piles of snow!
Earth is freezing cold.
Race people going down a hill in sleds! What fun!

The Winner of Week Three

Jungle Poem by Alexander Stevens (aged 7)

Grizzly Bear,
lost his underwear,
had to borrow,
his sister's pair.

Cheeky monkey,
is so funky,
but also very
hunky-chunky.

Mr Whale,
delivered the mail,
with the help of
his friend Crazy Quail.

Tall Giraffe,
wears a scarf,
when he's relaxing
in the bubble bath.

King Crocodile,
has a dazzling smile,
even though everyone runs,
for half a mile.

Sly Cheetah,
always beats her,
when he does,
he tries to eat her.

The Winner of Week Two

Little Miss Muffin
by Jonathan Beardsmore (age 7) and William Threlfall (age 7)

Little Miss Muffin
Sat on her cushion
Eating her milk and cake
She got bored with her food
She got in a mood
So she went to the kitchen to bake.

(Jonathan and William win the prize for their class,
who sent lots of great poems in.)

The Winner of Week One

My Head Fell Off by Natalie Kyriacou (aged 7)

As I was going out one day
My head fell off and rolled away
And when I noticed it was gone
I picked it up and put it on.
