Our Visit To The Good Shepherd Home

This week we went to the Good Shepherds Home which is a home for old people. We did this because we wanted to help the community and wish the people there a merry christmas. We all put on a performance and I did my gymnastics routine. After the performance we gave the old people gifts and cards we had made. They were all very friendly to us when we talked to them.

We all had a fantastic time and I think the old are going to have a very happy christmas.

Haiku Poems

Haiku poems are from Japan. A haiku poem has three lines. The first line has to have five syllables, the second has to have seven and the third has five. Haiku poems paint a picture in your mind. I wrote a haiku poem on birds.

Birds
Flying through the air.
Squawking past the setting sun.
I watch them in awe.

Friendship Poem

This week I wrote another free verse poem. It is about friendship as we have been learning what makes a good friend. It is called "You Are". I am going to read it at assembly.

You Are
You are the bright, blue sky.
You are the one which makes me want to fly.
You are the hand patting me on the back.
Sometimes I feel on top of the world
because all the badness is being hurled.
You are the lanten lighting my way
You are the one who brightens my day.
You are my best friend.
