My Piano - A Poem

Recently, my Grandad give me his old piano as I have started having piano lessons at school. Here is a poem I have written about my Grandad and my new piano.

My Piano

Grandad gave me his old piano,
It is older than a iPod Nano,
It's black and white, striped as a kite,
and it still plays the notes alright.

Every time my Grandad played,
he wore his headphones and hid away.
My Grandma didn't like the noise,
of Grandad's tuneful music joys.

My new piano is really cool ,
I'm learning to play piano at school.
My favourite notes are C,D,E,
and now I'm learning F And G!

I like my piano very much.
I tell my sister not to touch. 
My sister always wants a turn,
when I'm practising the notes I learn.

If I practice every day,
think of the lovely tunes that I could play.
Perhaps in a concert, or a musical,
or maybe one day at a Princess Ball!

Snow!

I looked out of the window on Monday morning and it was snowing. I was very excited because snow is my favourite kind of weather!

We still had to go to school. When I walked into breakfast club, there was lots of snow in the playground. During the morning our teacher took year one outside and we made a mini snowman. I think he was called Mr Funny because everyone put so many sticks on him!

After that we all went back inside. Whilst we were doing phonics it started snowing again even more heavily and everyone was very excited. After phonics we ate lunch. I had Shepherds Pie. It was delicious! After lunch the teachers decided we should go home because they were worried about all the snow and so my mummy came to collect me early.

After school we took Boo to her Ballet lesson. It was still snowing heavily. Whilst she was there, I went out to play in the snow. The snow felt really cold and wet. I could make really big footprints in it. I also made a snowman with my mummy.  We used twigs and stones for his face, arms and buttons, but his mouth looked a bit funny!

I had a really lovely day playing in the snow. I hope it snows again soon!

My Mermaid Lucy

Lucy is a mermaid. My Grandma knitted her. She has long yellow hair in bunches and a pink and light blue crown.

She has a blue tail and she has a pink top with a blue bow on it.

Her best friend is Kevin the Crab. My Grandma knitted him too. Lucy likes to swim with her friend Kevin the Crab.

I love my mermaid. She is very pretty. She reminds me of Ariel from The Little Mermaid.

My Grandma is very good at knitting.

My Day Out In London

At the weekend I went into London to go to the Science Museum. We went on a really fast train.

In the Science Museum we saw the BIGGEST Rocket in the World! The rocket has been into space and was called "Eagle". It was a lander that took Buzz Aldrin and Neil Armstrong into Space in 1969. When I saw it I could not believe my eyes. Then we went to see a model of an Astronaut. His name was Buzz Aldrin and he was the second person to walk on the moon. We also saw a piece of the moon. The museum also told you about how Astronauts lived, breathed, ate and went to the the toilet in Space. They showed you space food that the astronauts would have eaten in Space. There was Tomato Soup, Chicken Salad, Strawberry Cereal Cubes, Coke, a biscuit coloured drink, and a pink drink and a tin of biscuits. You had to add water to the food to make it ready to eat.

Did you know that Astronauts can sleep standing up in space? They have to be strapped into bed to stop them from falling out because there is less Gravity in space than we have on earth.

Next we went to see the OLDEST steam train made in 1814. After a while we went to see Stephenson's Rocket. It was made in 1829 and it was the first Machine ever made! Without it, we wouldn't have things like cars and trains and buses so it was a very important machine.

The last thing we saw was a big globe that showed aeroplanes, street lights and what the world looks like at night from Space. It was amazing.

After we left the Science Museum, we went to a Cafe in South Kensington for lunch.

Next we went to Hyde Park to see Winter Wonderland and then we went to see the Christmas Lights in Oxford Street because my sister Boojam loves Christmas Lights and so do I.

Finally we went home on the train. I had a really nice day in London.

My Visit to Santa

Today I went into the Harlequin to do Christmas shopping with Mummy, Daddy, and Boojam.

The first thing we did was go to see Santa. I was very excited. I asked him for a Jasmine Dress and if he could give the poor at least one present for Christmas.

After that we started doing our Christmas shopping. We went to the Disney Store, Wilkinsons and Boots to buy some presents. I saw lots of lovely things in the Disney Store - it's my favourite shop.

It was a good day.

The Wolf - By "Gm451" aged 7

Hello, Betsy Lou here! my friend "gm451" (her spy name) is here playing with me, and she wanted to write a poem... So here it is. I hope you like it!!

The wind is blowing around and around

It gives me a little push.

And I see some eyes staring at me.

So I tell my partner just to shush....

and what is it?

It's a wolf!!! 

With big red eyes and sharp white teeth.

I think his favourite food is beef!

He stares at me with a cunning smile

You can see him well from a mile.

He looks like he's going to eat me....

While my friend is looking at a buzzy bee...

He pounces at me with a cunning look

I'd rather be at home reading a book!

My friend notices, and stops and stares,

Oh dear... she doesn't really seem to care!

Maybe he will eat me, maybe he'll run away.

I don't know - let's come back another day!

My Very Busy Week.

This week has been very busy!

I have been doing lots at school and at home. Here are some of the things I have done this week:

Saturday 1st December 2012
Today I was so excited because it's the first day of advent, which means that we get to get our advent calendars out. In the evening two elves came to visit us from Santa to make sure were both being good for Mummy and Daddy. My sister's elf was called Angel Snowflake and mine was called Holly Star. She came to visit me last year and I love her so much.

Sunday 2nd December 2012
Today I went to church with Mummy and I got to light the first advent candle at church - it was really exciting. After church we went to a Christmas Lunch with Daddy's work. I had soup, roast dinner and vanilla ice cream with raspberry sauce. My lunch was delicious and on the way home I fell asleep!

Wednesday 5th December 2012
Today when I woke up I was so excited because it was snowing. Snow is my favourite weather and so I couldn't wait to play in it. There was not very much snow though and soon it all disappeared so I hope that it will come back so I can build a snowman.

Friday 7th December
Today was a great day at school because we had our School Christmas Fair. I met someone very exciting - Father Christmas! and I also ate lots of cakes and sweets, and did some crafts, and had my face painted. I loved our Christmas Fair but the best thing I loved was meeting Father Christmas.

Saturday 8th December
We have a pink Christmas tree that goes in our room at Christmas, and today Daddy got it down from the loft and me and my sister Boo decorated the tree. We love our tree. Daddy Calls it 'the tree that christmas threw up on' - I don't know why. Today I have not been feeling well but I sat and watched Strictly Come Dancing snuggled under a blanket to make me feel better, and I also watched The Snowman and Father Christmas. I love Christmas films.
