Chinese New Year - by Nina Olivier, Amy Collins and Gemma Penning

A few weeks ago it was Chinese New Year

I can go on and on about it,

but would you like to hear?

The Chinese drummers were really loud

But I couldn’t quite see them

Because of the big crowd 

Afterwards the Grade 00’s came on,

And they had to dance to the Chinese drums

That made a beautiful song

The Chinese street dancers then came on

But it was so graceful

But the guys in the suits could’ve gone

Then we got Chinese crackers and red bags

But since they only had very little money

It made me kind of sad

But with the money you mustn’t spend it straight away

You must keep it under your pillow

For another great day!

But unfortunately it was all done

Even though we had a day off

I missed all the fun

Happy Year of The Dog!

RIDDLE TIME - by TSWELOPELE MOLOPE

What gets wetter

The more it dries

…

A TOWEL

What’s black when it’s not being used

Red when it’s being used

And white when it’s done being used

…

Coal

I am tall when young

And short when old

What am I?

…

A CANDLE

Searching for a Memory - A Poem By Amy Collins

Searching for a memory

Searching for a memory

To hang upon my wall

This one is too big

But this one is too small.

Maybe I’ll do that one

It seems quite middle sized

No, I remember that day,

The one I quite despise.

That one could be possible,

The day I rode my bike

Then I fell to the ground

That day I did not like.

Hhmmmm, maybe I’ll do that one

My first day back at school

Nah, I’d rather not

That day was kind of cruel

Yes! I’ve got it!

This one will surely do,

A memory that I’ve chosen

Is going to be YOU!!
