| Favourite Poem | ||
| I bought a box of
chocolate hearts, A present for my mother, They looked so good I tasted one, And then I tried another. They both were so delicious, That I ate another four, And then another couple, Then half a dozen more! I couldn't seem to stop myself, I nibbled on and on, Before I knew what happened, All the chocolate hearts were gone! I felt a little guilty, I was stuffed down to my socks, I ate my mother's valentine........ I hope she likes the box! |

| The Circus | ||
| It all started one
day when my father announced that my family would be going to the Billy Smart's
Circus the following day. Although I only had a day to wait it seemed like
seven. Finally the day came and we went to the Circus. When we arrived all around the tent was crowded with lines of people waiting to go in. We joined the queue, and finally went in. Our seats were in the front row and we could see everything. After about two minutes a band started to perform. They were playing lively music, and the entire crowd was clapping along to the beat. Suddenly the band stopped playing, and a loud trumpet was sounded. Two little palomino ponies trotted gracefully into the ring. A pretty girl rode skilfully on their backs Jumping from one to the other. Then the pretty girl said "Wow" and the two ponies bowed down their heads to let the girl off. The pretty girl took a bow and she led the ponies out of the ring. Next came a lion-tamer who made them do tricks and stunts just by clicking his fingers. There was a moment of silence when the lion-tamer thrust his head into the lion's mouth. He received great applause. The rest of the acts were brilliant. But towards the end of the night two funny clowns came into the ring. They did impressions and mimed. It was extremely funny when the two clowns pretended to be women. Finally the bell rang to declare that it was over. But the clowns refused to leave and so Stan the strong man had to lift them out of the ring, tears rolling down the clown's cheeks. All the people who had performed came into the centre of the ring and took a bow. The crowd clapped loudly. And that was my night at the Circus. |
