The children’s poems: Autumn Wrapped Up Warm,
nice, snuggled Cosy, happy All wrapped us Autumn Leaves Branches
– brown Trees fall over Bendy, blowing leaves Squirrels eating nuts Pinecones pointy Running, happy Windy Leaves spin, falling Green, yellow, red They turn brown Blow away – on the ground Green, get autumn and brown Slip over Crunchy – sssh – wet Slippery – crunchy Fall over Happy, excited Quick, messy Sleepy Mouse Little
mouse: Snuggles up In a ball Soft spongy Lilly-pad leaves Eats cheese Scared of snakes and owls Cold, tired, sleeps Hedgehog Sleeps Hedgehog: Hibernating Prickly, spiky Moves slowly Curls up, very cosy Like A Dragon Wood
- make fire Rub the wood, lights The fire, sticks, logs Ashes, pop, sparks Red, yellow, orange Colours, small twigs Bonfire Orange fire Make bangs Stay for five minutes, smokey Smoke, pop pop pop Sparks, flames jumping Black and dark sky Fires are light like a torch Feel hot, warm Smoke comes out Sparks, happy Dragon breathing fire Different colours melting Bonfire. Autumn Pumpkin Look
a lantern! Light, hot, orange Mad faces, scary faces Happy faces, nasty faces Had to make a face, Eyes, a triangle nose Mum helps – with knife Squiggly mouth Bonfire Toffee We
eat toffee Sticky, can’t move; Your teeth, can’t talk Can’t open mouth Coffee! Soggy, nice Dribble on your chin Shooting Star Shoots
the moon; Wishing stars The star floats, bright In the sky, lights Twinkle, whoosh, fast Cold Autumn Moving Freezing, shiver Teeth chatter Run home fast To light a fire Slippery, white, icy Walk slowly, Carefully, neatly Sliding, slipping Winter Still Dark Cosy,
warm, very comfy Snugglebag Blue, warm blanket Cuddly teddy I like looking - out my window Spooky The moon comes out Stay in bed, really cosy Horrible when it’s dark Dark and frosty It thinks it’s night-time Wrapping Up Shivers Teeth chatter – like a woodpecker Shake like a jelly Wellies on Snuggle in jumpers Scarves and hat Cosy and warm Bug in a rug |

Word and Rhythm of the Seasons |
|
One of mine: Red Hot Summer Isn’t
it lovely in the summer Bend and breathe the perfumed
flower Cool moist dew-grasses
freshen the toes Down see daisies – open,
close – open, close Dandelions – don’t smell
those! Look lovely roses, don’t
pick, they prickle you Happily we wander, so warm,
the sky so blue Fluffy clouds wobble, bump,
then float away again Hot! Oh so hot – feel cool in
light refreshing rain! Laughing out loud – Look a
beautiful beautiful rainbow The sun is soon out again we
know we know As we skip – stop, see,
little and fluttering, a butterfly Pretty it sips at sweetness
in the petals. Ooo we are thirsty Hot it gets. What we need is
an ice-lolly And a picnic – eager, we sit.
What’s this? Fresh strawberry Sweet juicy – helps us keep
cool Oooo look, jump up, dash –
splash, in a, paddling pool |

Out We Go Frosty
windows Really white Condensation – Patterns of bubbles Very drippy Turning icy Frozen mud, frozen solid Crunching in the snow Snow turns to ice We slip on it Pull out feet And start to walk, Nicely, really slowly Hair gets messed up Like you fly away – Cold Dark Skies Feel
cold Shivering, freezing Ready, For a nice warm drink Clouds move slowly, To the side Funny shapes Things that go wobbly Water Would
Drip Icicles
– cold Spiky and sharp Snap Drop to bottom Crash – snap – break! Into many pieces Stab on the back, Scratch the snowman. Water would drip Icicles snap. Footsteps On The Path Ice,
slip and slide. Hard Cold and shivery Looks like pieces of metal White stuff chucked on, each pile of snow On the windows, Frosty condensation Running about Exciting Feels like, you’re on skates Fall, hurt self, slip Fast and slip, skid Slip into, Holly bush Ouch! Snowdrops Peep Cold Only see the little flower Spring is coming! Happy, lots of flowers! White as snow, As cotton wool, And fluffy clouds Being A Bird Cold,
Robin-Redbreast Hungry Really really freezing Tuck into a ball Flap wings about Worms, seeds Carrot for Rudolph Nuts for birds Peck, peck Feed The Birds Give
them bread Peck, peck Fill the feeder Peck, peck Throw bread on the grass Whoosh and zoom Squabbling over bits They eat it Peck, peck Winter Berries Red
and round Spike-you leaves Green as grass Pricking you Red as a jersey Red as a jelly Birds can eat them Holly Berries Prickly,
hard branches Berries round and red Green spiky leaves Sharp, prick you – hurt Must be Christmas! How Snow Feels Cold
– freezing Soft – light Floating – squiggly Fluttering - like a butterfly Roll it into balls Melts in your hand Hailstones Hurt Cry,
feel cold Feels like a stone Sting a bit Ow! – Shocked! White round snow wheel Hurts! Stars In The Sky They
shoot And they shine The moon shines as well Loads of stars Yellow, gold, silver Fluffy and white Pointy Dark blue, navy blue sky Being A Star Twinkling
– shine bright See Shooting stars Feel hard, cold Be soft, feel happy Snug as a bug Snuggle down Like an angel, an alien Twinkling bright |
