Merciful is an adjective to describe my mother
Only she can love me with all her heart
Today is her special day
Her encouragement drives me to work harder
Every day I love my mother
R emember I love you more than I can say

Singapore, my home land,
It may be small,
Natural resources it has not, but
Green as a beautiful garden city, and
At times of trouble, we fear not.
People united, standing strong.
Oh Singapore, my beloved home,
Ready for all challenges,
Ever more we shall stand.

Choo, 9 years old, Pei Hwa Presbyterian Primary, Singapore

Animals

Covered in snow

Running all about
Isn't it fun
Santa Claus is coming
To give us presents
Merry Christmas
And a Happy New Year
Such a great time, isn't it?

At a sunny day
To a sunshine beach
Hot and Sweaty
Eat a double cone ice-cream
A happy day

Standing steadly on the board
Use your arms and legs to balance
Ready for a huge wave
Fun, exciting you should try it.

Fantasy Dream

Flying high into the night sky
Ascending up and down
Never felt anything like this
The day past by
Arriving light came
Sleepiness goes
Y o why, I wish I could fly.

Small nation which set
In the Straits of Johor and the Strait of Malaca.
Never give up no matter what,
Going forward at all times.
Always think before act.
Poor long time ago and now one of the riches of them all.
Our Singapore, the best,
React fast for any changes. For-
Ever, Singapore will be my best homeland.

Ben, Qiaonan Primary School, Singapore

Fairies in
Another realm that
Never exists in
The real world, only in fairytales…How I wish to see
A fairy, to live and to play with it, to taste the
Sweets and food that they eat. How I
Yearn to see them cheer up the sick and the old, and make our lifes be full of fun, laughter and magic.

Fantasy stories
Are
Noticeable
Terrific and……
Adjectives that are the
Same like what
You think they are

Ting, Singapore, Qiaonan Primary School, Age 12

Fancy as I always see
Amazing Things
Not as true as they can be
The dreams I wish will linger on
And stay
Surreal and
Yet so real

Matthew, Age 11, Singapore, Qiaonan Primary School

Freaklish and
Amazing but
Never is real
This bogus tales goes
Absurd but still
Soo interesting
Yet it write as it flows

Marcus, Singapore, Qiaonan Primary School

Bright Sun shines in the afternoon
Right after morning class
It is the neighbour of the Moon
Gone is the dusk
High in the sky during noon
Then lights up the dark city

Mummy my dear
Over the years
Teaching starts from her
Happiness in hugging her
Endless in love
Resting on her lap like a dove

Australian entertainers
Usually try to impress
Some situations don’t always go so well
Tragedies happen a lot but entertainers are usually
Radiant with expression, which always gets the
Audience’s attention with a lot of
Laughter and fun they go home
In peace and remember that joyful night
And
Never forget it

English shows
Now a day they are way more entertaining
Then they used to be
Everyone loves to see singers, dancers
Rove live, and especially movies like
Titanic and Romeo and Juliet, and many more
Almost always gets the audiences attention to
Inspire them to come back for more
Nothing could
Ever stop a
Radiant, inspirational entertainer, for the
Show must go on!

Celine and Nick, Australia

Frangipanis, they are beautiful,
Really loved by me,
And the scent I've smelt it's really nice,
Neat colours that always do entice,
Great flowers as you can see,
In my opinion superior to a sweet pea.
Perfect in every way, well thats what I say.
A very attractive flower in its shape and size,
Never the kind you could despise
It's not for everyone and that's fine.
Still I think they're absolutely divine.

By Hannah R. age 10, Australia

Movment in the jungle,
Outside swinging on vines and trees,
Nibbling on a banana while having a sleep,
Keeping its balance on the tree,
Eating fresh fruit and bananas,
Yelling and screaming all day long.
