How brown are my eyes?

My eyes are as brown as a thunder storm.

My eyes are as brown as rotten wood.

My eyes are as brown as chocolate.

My eyes are as brown as dirt.

My eyes are as brown as Milo.

My dog Windy is as smart as a scientist,

He is old as my granddad’s truck.

He is deaf.

He smells like rotten eggs.

When we go up the drive to go on the bus he follows us to protect us.

By Jason Rogers

Rain looks like juice crashing down, Ice cream dribbling down the window.

Rain sounds like the patter of cat’s feet on the roof,

Children banging drums.

Rain feels like ice cold coke dribbling down my body,

Like my Mum tickling me.

Rain moves like a pack of wolves, Moving like dancing stars in the night skies.

Rain smells like rotten oatmeal,

Gone off peanut butter.

By Tiahni Henderson

Wind feels like air pushing against you, blowing all the leaves away. Thunder sounds like a rumbly tummy, and storms look like a big black cloud.

The floor in my bedroom is old, grey and a little bumpy. I have a TV to play Play Station. The Play Station has dark black with light black where you put the game in. My walls in my bedroom are as white as snow. I’ve got brownish blinds made out of cotton, it has got a piece of wood down the bottom. My bed is unmade and my duvet is green with flowers on it. My room is tidy but extremely messy on the sides, especially where the art stuff is of mine.

The floor in my bedroom is prickly when I walk on it. The carpet is brown and white. One wall in my bedroom is dark blue and the others are cloudy white. My bed is small and dirty like a nest. I have a firey hot electric blanket so I don’t get a cold. A blanket that is coloured like the Waipoua Forest is on my bed. I’ve got blinds like the colour of old peoples skin.
Kalani Snooks Y4

On the floor in my bedroom it is very dirty and light in colour. My mat is soft when I walk on it. The walls are as white as snow. My bed is really messy everyday. I have a plain blue duvet. My TV is sitting on my dressing table. It is really shiny. My curtains are a reddy colour and when they are closed it is very dark.
Devin Manson Y3

My bedroom has a hard concrete floor. I have a 3 storey shelf stuck to the wall. I have a set of drawers on the ground. My bedroom is the size of a cupboard. My curtains have big blobs of bright yellow and blue. My bed has been cut so it can fit. My bed has a Spiderman blanket.

My purple bedroom smells like my pillow every morning. Every night it smells like a burning candle out in the hall way. I have a cupboard with white doors and silver steel handles. Inside I have a basket where I put my special teddies. Up the top are some more. Outside next to my bed I have a dolls house with a red roof and a white door. Inside it has five little rooms and a backyard. On my bed I have a Disney princess duvet cover with Aurora, Bell, Snow White and Cinderella. I’ve got white carpet stained with my island blue nail polish. I’ve got an old rickety dresser table with two handles missing off the drawers. On top of the drawers are some treasures of mine.

I see a big tall glossy tree. Beautiful brown and grey horses are eating spiky green grass. The fence is bent and broken down. I see brown and white fat, ugly cows in the green grass. The clouds are fluffy and grey all the time. The grass is soggy and wet. The forest is dark and freezing. Spotted, cold cows are lying in the cold wet grass. Grey and brown horse are cold as well.

I can see an enormous tree. The tree is big, glossy and brown. There are two white and brown horses eating green spiky grass. The cloudy sky is wet and white. Spotted, spooky, white and brown cows are running to get the horses. The spiky, scary, big and green bush is lining the paddock.
Jason Rogers Y4

The tree.
I can see a tree. The tree looks snowy with big puffy flowers. The bent, old brown fence looks like a rusty wire, like the cows would be able to walk right through it. The spotted cows are chewing on the crunchy juicy grass. The viney bush swings everywhere.
Jack Howells Y3

I can see a paddock. I can see a big and snowy white tree with blossoms blooming. There is also two horses, one is grey and the other one is… browny red. The sky is covered with snow white fluffy clouds. Way way back in another paddock I can see spotty brown and white cows. There is a shiny green bush.
Jorgia Vallance Y3

I can see a tree, it is giant with lovely white leaves gently falling to the green short prickly grass. Down below the brown and grey horses are eating the grass. A cloudy sky with nice big puffy clouds is shading and looking down from up above on top of the animals. The big fat spotted cows are eating at the lumpy prickly blades of grass. The fat hedge is just sitting there. All of natures beauty is lying upon us and will guide us all the way through our loving lives.

The playground has a long slide that looks like a snake. The blue monkey bars seem like a step going down each one. I see a dark yellow tunnel. The rock wall is like a slide that never ends.
Erin McKinley Y4

I can see four blue steps for stairs. Next to the stairs is a yellow pole that swings down, it has bumps and some paint scratched off. There is a bridge, it falls down in the middle, it has two long chains underneath. There is a blue tunnel slide, it looks like a snake. There is a yellow slide with Maori patterns on it. It looks like a snake too.
Alexis Rope Y3

On the playground there is a swirly whirly yellow pole. There is a big long wavy blue slide and there is a big wavy yellow slide around the blue slide. There is a big blue monkey bars. A small tunnel has little orange and blue bits. I see wiggly tiggly monkey bars.
Ashleigh Nilsson Y4

On the floor of the playground there is wood chipped bark. There is some slides and one of them is yellow and bumpy and one long and fat. There is a wonky tonky bridge with smudged brown. There is two climbing walls one big and one small. But both are brown. There is six ladders, four are bright red and one is wooden and two are blue.
Alex Rope Y4

The Playground
The playground has a tiny winy little orange slide. Next to the slide is a lovely shady spot called a little tunnel. Across from the tunnel is a wiggly and jiggly hooks made into swings. If you turn to the left is a curvy seven made into stairs. Walk straight and there are steel blue monkey bars. If you turn, there is a wood on a slope with a rope hanging on it and you can climb up it. Then you turn straight there are ropes with bars on them and you can go across it. Then there is a yellow that is big and it’s a tunnel, then there is a crooked bridge and you can walk over it.

I wonder why butterflies fly?
I wonder why my brother cries?
I wonder why I have to try?
I wonder why pigs make a sty?
I wonder why I have to say bye-bye?
I wonder why my baking fries?

How curious are my eyes?

My eyes are as curious as a new born kitten.

My eyes are as curious as a puppy.

My eyes are as curious as a pheasant.

My eyes are as curious as a baby.

My eyes are as curious as a three year old.

HOW warm is my cuddle?

My cuddle is as warm as a grizzly bear,

My cuddle is as warm as hair,

My cuddle is as warm as a jumper,

My cuddle is as warm as a fire,

My cuddle is as warm as an oven.

My Cat Mo

My cat Mo is as grey as a cloud.

He is as young as a 1 year old baby.

All of his body is fluffy.

He smells like washed hair.

When we give him food, he likes to shove his face in it.

He likes to explore and eat every thing of course.

Walking Through the Stream 

I remember walking through the little stream,

I was dabbling in the fast flowing water.

The trees were lazily leaning over my head,

The sun gleaming through the branches.

The water splashing down off the little waterfall.

Little tadpoles swimming through the weeds.

A muddy swamp filled with reeds.

Finally a deep water hole.

Heaps of rocks up stream.

At last, the big waterfall.

At the bottom of the waterfall I saw a little eel swimming around in the water.
