Dinosaurs Problems 
By Jasmine 

I found 2 dinosaur bones today while digging in the park
I wonder, should I feed them to my dog so he doesn’t bark?
Should I give it to the zoo or hide it in my shoe?

What should I do?

I wonder if they’re from a scary T-Rex or a baby Maiasaur
If that’s the case I think that I might sell them in a store!
Should I bring them to my show and tell, for all my friends to see?
Or should I just leave them low?

What should I do?

If I plant them in the ground do you think that they will grow?
So I can have a dinosaur that I can call my own?

I wonder what it would be like if dinosaurs were still alive!
Could I ride one to school?
Would I have to wash it in my swimming pool?

But the best thing to do 
Is to give them to

Journey to Barbados 
By Kyra, Ella

We went to Barbados, we went to a pool
We saw a big waterfall too
We went to dinner and had lots of fun
Lots of fun in the sun

Journey to Barbados 
Journey with my friends
Journey to Barbados
Let this fun never end

We went to a beach, we sat in a tent
The sand was very smooth
We went synchronized swimming
We played from the morning to sunset

We went on a treasure hunt
We had lots of fun
We all got a prize
But our parents got none

Chocolate
Andre, Ethan & Nathan

Hot chocolate is a yummy drink
On cold nights, wouldn’t you think?
Wonderful creations you can make
Chocolate even in a cake
 
Chocolate can be brown
I wish I had a chocolate crown
Chocolate can be white
My heart melts at its very sight

Chocolate, chocolate it’s a very good treat
Chocolate, chocolate isn’t it sweet 
Chocolate, chocolate is the very best
Chocolate, chocolate It’s better than laser quest

Is your favourite season Spring?
Jump in puddles and sing
Flowers they start growing
And finally it’s not snowing
    
Is your favourite season Summer
You can swim in a pool
Eat ice cream to stay cool
Best of all there’s no school
 
Is your favourite season Fall
Listen to hear the bird’s call
All the leaves change their colours
Playing all day with your brothers
 
Is your favourite season Winter
You can have big snowball fights
Eat popcorn every night
Watch movies, hold your blanket tight

What’s your favourite season?
Spring, summer, winter, fall
What’s your favorite season?
Pick one or all

When the Moon Comes Up
Anna, Rose & Yoona

When the sun goes down
It wipes away my frown
It just makes me smile
I can see stars for miles
 
I gaze at the moon
As I sing this tune
Sitting on the window pane
Watching little golden planes
 
So many tiny stars
Like a highway filled with cars
I close my eyes and dream
Surrounded by silver moon beams
 
I dream of a King and Queen
Eating a giant blue jelly bean	
A fluffy green unicorn
With a bright purple horn
 
They wear crystal crowns
And shiny silk gowns
Live in a palace of sugary sweets
They are kind to everyone they meet

Now the moon is no more
I am sad to the very core
I hope I will see you again
Another day until then

Kung-Fu Tiger, Moose and Crane
Hamza, Eric and Kevin

There was a Kung Fu tiger
That lived in a red palace
He was a very brave fighter
Kung-Fu tiger is a biter
 
There was a Kung-Fu moose
He ate pancakes with ketchup and juice
And fought evil in the night
Kung-Fu moose never lost a fight
 
There was a Kung-Fu crane
Who had spy gadgets and a plane
And owned a top secret cave
Kung-Fu crane is very brave

Kung-Fu tiger, moose and crane
Magic powers, magic brain
Super strong can do no wrong
Talented singers, singing songs

Summer Blues
Grace, Siyu

I can’t see my school friends
Not until summer ends
It is really hot
Sunburn is all I got
 
There’s no wind to fly a kite
There are bugs that sting and bite
I’m scared of the progress I have made
Will I get into the next grade?

No more math tests no more books
No more teacher’s dirty looks
It’s summer, is it worth it?

Even though all of this is rotten
Summer’s happiness 
should not be forgotten

I love the flowers
They give the bees their powers
It’s so nice and so warm
Let’s hope there’s no storm

Little Puppy Sweet As Honey
Written by Natasha and Christine

She’s like a daisy in the field 
All my sorrows are healed
Her soft tongue on my cheeks
Makes me laugh for weeks and weeks

Her innocent eyes 
Gazing at you
Makes me want to say 
I love you, I love you, I love you

Little puppy sweet as honey
Fetches a dog bone ain’t she funny?
She’s so sweet, she’s so nice
Oh little puppy sweet as honey
You’d brighten my day and make it sunny
You’re so sweet and so nice

I promise to care for it 
And teach her how to sit
I’d walk her every day
Always stop to play
A friend to be with 
In the warm golden sun
Forever more

What Game Is This?
Written by Maxim and Raymond

In my house I have two floors
The first has a furnace and a door
The second floor I store everything
So that I can craft many awesome things
 
To fight a dragon 
With a black body and purple eyes
You must first visit a realm 
Of very small size

As the dragon charges through the wind
One must be brave and determined
 
What game is this? What game is this?
What game is this? What game is this?
As I play this big blocky game
Playing with blocks is all the same


What Game Is This?
