Year Three
The Sea
The sea is warm
The sea is colourful
Ink blue, baby blue, turquoise and grass green
The sea is flexible like a dancer, or a rubber band
The sea is dangerous, with whirlpools and tornados
Grumpy grey, stormy black, horrifying white
The sea has sharks, whales, dolphins, fish, prawns, crabs, anemones, seaweed, lobsters, stingrays, turtles, wrecks and san
The sea is happy, guilty, sad, angry
And calm, comforting and alive
Dungbeetle
With a flop and a squelch the poo hits the hot dust
There's a flap and a thud and skutter, skutter click
The poo lovers are here!
Ready to roll up the poo
They'll dig with their shovel feet
Sharp and shiny that shape the dung
They roll with their long pointy legs
Then they dig and dig and dig
To bury the ball for their baby
Soon there'll be a new dung beetle
Year Four
Jungle
Loud monkeys
Steamy air
Huge trees
Little movements under leaves
Water bubbling
Scary loneliness
Wavy branches
Fascinating!
Exotic plants
Rustling noises
Strange and familiar
Slanting light rays
Birds whistling
Boa crushing
Swampy and wet
Creepy noises
