I love the way some of you search back through the mini challenges and send in poems. Thank you! It is never too late to do this.
Madeleine sent this poem from Gisborne. She is in Year 8, aged 12 and goes to Campion College. I like the Madeleine has combined action with objects. Each line has a great rhythm and you get a real sense of the swimming occasion. Great job!
Bubble bubble
Shoulders arms hands
Pull through the water
Kick kick
Breath blow out
Roll your body
Glide across the top
Dive to the bottom
Flip at the ends
Tight rubber cap
Tight fitting goggles
Flippers
Pull buoys
Drills breast stroke back stroke free style
Dolphin dives
Flutter boards noodles
Bubble bubble
Shoulders arms hands
Pull through the water
Kick kick
Mrs McRobbie teaches Year 6 at Ohaupo School and sent in these playful nursery rhymes that two students in her class wrote. Amy and Lucy have mixed and matched things as you will see! It was fun to read them.
Incy wincy spider
went up the bumpy hill,
got a pail of water
and splashed it on Jill.
Humpty had a little lamb,
little lamb, little lamb.
Humpty had a little lamb
that was very fat.
It was so greedy
it had a tummy ache.
Twinkle twinkle
little black sheep,
one for the star
and one for me.
Humpty and Jill,
went up the rocky hill
to get a basket of eggs.
On the way down Humpty
tripped on his crown,
and tumbled down
and cracked his head
