I find the imagination of Y2 students so refreshing. I felt inspired by the moon poems — by the little bits that glinted for my eye and my ear. I really loved my one session with you. Thank you for diving into the moon and coming up with glorious poems.
Shiny Moon
Shiny moon silvery moon
my moon sparkly moon
peaceful moon white moon
my moon helps me
go to sleep.
Isabella Y2
The Moon
White gray black moon
we see it
in the night
it looks like
a man
it’s sparkly
and bright
it’s a bedside
lamp when I
camp
but all of us
know we’re
not allowed
to explore it.
Maddie Y2
Moon
The moon is
very rocky
white yellow
and blue.
Sometimes at
night I stay
up to look
at the moon.
It looks very far
away. And also very
sparkly. Sometimes
I imagine it’s
a potato and
I imagine I’m
eating it. It
reflects down
on the water
and looks just
like a mirror
and sometimes
it comes
out at day.
It sparkles. It twinkles.
Chloe Y2
The Moon
The moon is
like a fluffy
ball
white red and
blue,
light shines the
way.
That is my favourite
moon
because it reminds
me of my aunt.
Sienna Y2
The Moon
The moon is sparkly
and bright, it is
like a fluffy pillow
in the sky,
moon.
Sofia F Y2
The Moon
White blue and red
sparkles glows and twinkles
blank sky when the moon
lights the way
the lovely bright moon

I also did a small workshop with a collection of students who love writing from a range of ages. We did cat poems. I love the way the students went off in direction cat directions. Thanks for all your creative energy!
My Cat Poem
Green grass that my
cat likes to run
on.
He is white and grey like
a cloud,
slurping water
really loudly,
fluffy but fat
running like the
wind,
stretching like
a rubber band,
sitting as
still as a
statue,
I love my cat.
Lilyana Y6
The Cat
My gray, white and
brown cat likes to
lie flat and have
a little naughty time
and tease the dog. My cat
loves the black hat,
he sleeps
in there, eats in there and
then never ever comes
out …
Isabelle Y4
Fat Cat
The cat is woken
anger through the brain,
stretches, arches
tired,
liver-food smell covers
the ramshackle house,
the lazy cat prowls
to a tree,
sneaks to the kitchen
looking for food,
jumps
back to the couch
to sleep
until …
Anna Y6
The Cat
It prowls
It arches
on the couch
lazy as can be,
climbs up a tree,
stops.
