a man tries to find the centre of the Earth endless loops of life -------//------- koru twirl around new beginnings fern seeds scatter --------//-------------- gospel music flows from the singer’s heart applause of peace --------//---------- gloomy clouds take over the sun ashes in the wind Samantha S (Year 5)
a monarch butterfly flutters to a tree castle red-carpet roses --------//--------- a netball hoop holds a cup of tea goal-shoot giant ------//------- the sun rises from behind a hill blackbirds dig for worms ------//-------- horses jump hurdles humans run races music makes me dance
the claws come out on the rugby league field tigers hunt their prey ------//-------- the world spins around in bicycle-wheel movie projector -------//-------- pebbles are a handful of seeds planted in the playground --------//-------- eels swim on the fence painting swimming pool summer
the terror of the sea leaps over a wave taniwha treasure -------//-------- radioactive waste poisons the water nuclear river ------//------- a silk scarf attracts a meal spider ninjas -------//-------- the red and blue wings of a butterfly remind me of Korea
a bright light comes out after a storm sunshine smiles ------//-------- daisy chains in a green field three-leaf clover keys ------//------- in the pantry spaceships hover over the chocolate cake ------//-------- a soft cloud glides through the blue sky eagles flap their wings
a sharp knife slices through the sea shark-tooth fins ------//-------- television screens make people look small funhouse mirrors -------//-------- violet roots search for water pioneer petals ------//------- a telescope is an eye that sees into the future Josh S (Year 6)
seed heads fire foxgloves Mother Nature’s missiles ------//------- a damsel fly hovers over the pond rainbow trout snap -------//-------- a chef’s diamond buried beneath the tree black truffle treasure --------//---------- on a hot night bloodthirsty mosquitoes turn into vampires
a bee’s stinger attacks a wasp fighter pilots crash -------//--------- forest sunshine makes shadow branches taniwha trees ------//------- cabbage tree leaves fight with the wind swords cut the clouds -------//------- the plastic tunnel splashes the school playground waterfall
children swing on monkey bars prisoners escape ------//------ a border collie chews a possum tail cats under the couch -------//-------- shadows of dinosaurs haunt the past cars carve the road -----//-------- the school children are hot and bothered jelly wobbles
