Fun in winter ( Hannah )

The snow has come

and the winter's just begun.

All the children go out to play

on this cold and frosty day.

They build a snowman

which is such good fun,

they hope it doesn't melt

in the bright winter's sun.

Snowballs being thrown around

landing softly on the ground.

Playing on the new red sledge

their mum shouts "mind the hedge!"

As night time comes

indoors they must go

to sleep and wish

that tomorrow brings more fun in the snow

It's raining leaves (Hannah) / Poor tree ( Sophie)

Leaves

are falling

to the ground.

When they fall,

they make no sound.

A shower of colours

dripping down:

red, yellow,

green and

brown.

POOR TREE
Leaves dance

listening the wind,

they flye like a kite.

When they're tired,

they fall to the ground.

The tree looks at them

and says:
