If Poems

Art by Yoshi

We read a poem called "IF" and as a reading response we wrote our own poems:

If the sea was purple and the clouds were pink and yummy,
if the sun was green would everything be green too?
If trees were chocolate would it taste like chocolate too?
What if the birds were rainbow and cats were Orange?
By Violeta and Georgina


If skies were Black
How wood we see?
What if the grass was pink?
It would change the world.
If the trees were gold?
By Greta

If cheetahs chirped

It would be berserk

If blue were red

Then bookbags would be dead

Choclate gold

Hairy bold

By Jupiter


If sun sets were white
And skies were green,
What colour would trees seem?

If dolphins were orange
And sea turtles were red
Would they have to change their name?
To red turtles?

What about watermelons?
If they were purple?
What would happen?

If coconuts were pink
And bananas were grey,
Would everything be the same?

I’ve known orangy pinky sunsets,
Grey dolphins and more
So if the colours were bored and switched around,

I wonder what the world would be?
By Charlotte and Leola

If clouds were blue
And crabs were yellow
Turtles were purple
The trees were plastic
that will not be fantastic
Caves were orange
Floors were caravans
And pigs called inky
We call them stinky.
Maybe ghosts were not invisible.
Flies were gold.
Paper was a cape-flying paper.

Sew Love and Plastic Free Peninsula

We made (#cool #awesome) bags out of a pillowcase and a tie. We paper glued the exclusive logo designed by Hunter T. onto the #epic bag. #sewlove caravan helped Worser Bay School to sew the bags together here is what some people said about the sewing den and campervan club...

Evie said, “I like the sewing machines, that they were made out of a pillowcase and a tie.

Yasmin said, “I like that each sewing machine had a name, they used no plastic to make the bags.”

Jupiter said "I like how it was very welcoming. The idea was #awesome #epic #great #cool #omg."

This is what we do to save the environment!
