Appreciation

Year 5 have been reflecting on the many things they are appreciative of and grateful for. Here are some poems they have written in response to this topic.

I treasure the sun, the moon, and the sky
I treasure the birds that love to fly
I treasure the life beyond the walls
I treasure the sounds and the love that calls
I treasure the making and creating
I treasure the kindness of everybody waiting
I treasure the light in your might
I treasure the modesty when you are right
I treasure the lions leopards and more
I treasure the sound of hearing them roar
I treasure there fierceness when they cry
I treasure it so I want to fly
I APPRECIATE LIFE! 

Scarlett Matheson

The sea the land
The earth the sky
The deserts of sand
The birds who fly.
The water the fire
The caterpillars in cocoons
The things I desire
The sun, the moon.
The snow the ice
The dogs who bark
The flowers that smell nice
The fish and the sharks.
The bears that roar 
The trees that sway
The eagles that soar
The people here every day.
I’m grateful for the things I love
I’m grateful for a single dove.
