Task Adjustment Poems Books – Sanya Tandon • My best friend is a book that doesn't give me a weird look. It is like a golden door that takes me to the land where I have never been before. It tells me the tales of a fairy that take me to the land full of merry. Some books are boring like history, which is like a big mystery. Books are the source of enlightenment that vanquish darkness and fill our life with brightness Poet's Page My Big Fat Cat – Christian Mitewu I own a big fat cat- The fattest for miles around Wherever there's lots of food, that's where he'll be found He's really good at eating, It's a talent, I suppose I'm sure if he keeps at it he'd win the talent shows I own a big fat cat- He weighs at least a ton He couldn't run to save his life Yes, he isn't much fun His favourite room's the kitchen, (I'm sure we all know why) He eats just about everything So that's why with a sigh... I'd like to tell you teacher, I'd like to tell you straight, I might have 'accidentally' dropped my homework in his plate If you have any enquires/concerns regarding assessment tasks please contact the relevant Teaching and Learning Coordinator
A Worm In My Pocket – Jodee Samano One rainy day on my way home from school, I found a big worm and thought it was cool. I picked up the worm with my bare hand, held it up high, thinking how grand! The worm was so cute and wiggled a lot. I put him in my pocket to show Mom what I'd caught. What will she say when I show her my find? Will she let me keep it? I hope she won't mind. Mom was in the kitchen when I showed her what I'd found. She screamed, "No, way! Put it back in the ground!" Now I'm so angry; she always says, "No." If she won't let me keep it, then I will just go! So me and my worm packed a sandwich or two, ran out the door, and down the street we both flew. We walked to the park and sat on a bench. I pulled out my worm and noticed a stench. He looked kind of floppy but wiggled a bit. I thought, "Oh my Gosh, my worm is not fit!" I laid him in the dirt and let him go free. I guess that my pocket was not the best place to be.
