My Free Verse Poem

I have been learning to write all types of poetry using different language features. This week I learnt how to write a free verse poem. A free verse poem is a poem which you can include anything you want in it. I wrote a free verse poem on lollies.

LOLLIES

There was once a grumpy, grouchy, gross man called Creepy Cross Colin.
Slurp slurp slurp- he was a terrible eater.
When it was " Sports Day For Old Men"
everybody would say, " Creepy Colin's such a cheater."
When the old man ate, he would get bits of food stuck in his long black beard.
Everyone thought he was weird.
He was as grumpy as an old lion.
One day Colin saw a shop full of lollies,
Normally he would have just snorted, grrrrr and walked past.
But something odd caught his eye...
A small sign that said: FREE LOLLIES
Ahhhhh, Colin gasped, "Mollie"s Lollie shop?"
He said amazed.
Molly was his old best friend that he missed soooo much.
She thought that money was stupid, so she gave away everythig for free.
Colin went into the shop and took thousands of lollies and ate them all!
Then he went to the lady at the front counter
and asked if the shop was owed by Molly.
She said, ''No sir, this shop is owed by Mr. Spok,
and by the way, will now you pay for all those lollies?"
But.. but.. stammered Colin.
"The sign on the door is a trick", she said with a cheeky grin.
Colin was in shock!
"Now how many lollies did you eat?"

Onamatopoia- my poem

Onamatopoeia is a word which makes a sound like crash, bang and woof.
I wrote a poem called Lunchtime with onomatopoia in it. It goes like this:

LUNCHTIME
'' It's lunchtime!" said the teacher.
Everybody stomped the floor.
Then went out of the door.
After eating, the boys were playing handball.
Bounce bounce went the ball on the wall.
Boing! One of the boys hit the ball so hard
It flew through the air and landed on the grass.
After they picked up the ball,
a few girls including me started chasing them.
Thud, thud, thud went our feet.
He he ha ha! we were all laughing and having fun.
Everybody started joining in, in the sun.
Pant pant pant,pant- it was very tiring.
Duff! I didn't see the wiring
I didn't get hurt though
'cause it was very low.
Just then we all heard a loud, piercing whistle, whoooooooooo!!
We all rushed over to the shaded area to leave for swimming, stomp, stomp, thud, thud.
Mmmmmm mmmmmm My friend is humming a great tune.
Lunchtime ended so soon!

Myths and Legends

At school I have been writing my own myth with a partner. It is called 'Why Emus have their Long Necks'. This is some of the story: It's about a gang of robbers who are Koala, Snake, Echidna and the leader is Emu. Kangaroo is a detective.
In the desert there is a drought. Nobody can find food. The gang of robbers are looking and looking for food. Eventually they are lucky enough to find a picnic that has been left and a pond with water in it. They pack up the food and put all the water from the pond into buckets, then run away into the bush with it! The robbers don't know that that is detective Kangaroo's lunch that he was saving for the worst part of the drought which had already begun..

Bulling

Today I will tell you about a book we are reading. Raymond is a bully and he tries to take money from Joe. We are in the middle of the book and Mr. Foster gives Joe powers, but Joe doesn't use them wisely, Joe starts to become a worse bully than Raymond!!
Mr. Foster also has secret powers. Joe even thinks he might not be human!

People bully because they want everyone to be scared of them so the bully can control other people, in other words the bully wants all the power.

All My Learning

One of my friends and I made a Responsibility Poster,as we are learning what exactly responsible means.
I had a great time making it but I also learnt how to make a poster really catchy. We had one picture of Darth Vader saying in a speech bubble, "Be responsible it is your destiny".

Here is a photo of our poster:
