Yesterday we had our second Writer's group session. It was so fun! We worked in project groups with each group taking on a writing project. One group is working on a Poetry Anthology and creating imagery poems. Another group is creating graphic novels from story through to end product. The last group are working as intrepid reporters and interviewing student leaders about their leadership responsibilities around the school. They will then be writing an article each fortnight for the school newsletter. How cool!!!Here's a photo of some of us in action and a taste of some of our latest poems.
The Porcelain doll
By Feifei S
She sits on the stiff wooden shelf alone,
Watching children play through her sad glass eyes
Once her friends, now stroll past her without a glance,
A single tear falls down her face.
She wishes someone would just play with her,
To talk to her, let her know that they care.
She thinks about those precious days,
Suddenly she gets lifted off the shelf,
into the arms of a newborn child.
The Autumn leaf
as the wind bully blows her away
she tries to hold on but cannot stay
Her pleadings for help are endless but not unheard,
as a bird scoops her up using her for another purpose
and her smile appears and grows bigger as spring appears.
