Spring Outside

This morning we sat outside in the sun, under the trees and composed poems about spring. Some children found it really difficult to be outside, while others thrived..
Check out the quality of some of the writing below.

Molly
When the purple pink blossoms pirouette in the soft, warm breeze
Lambs frolic in the lush emerald fields
When the birds start to chirp a melody chorus
Trees adorn into their silky leaves as they turn their heads to the sunlight
The sense of happiness embraces the land
Spring paints a portrait for us.

 

Evie

Relief snakes through the rusted grass

Love blossoms adorn the trees

A tinge of pink runs through the one who smelt the rose.

The white skirt flows over the brightest flowers.

The sun caresses the silk petals dancing on the wind.

Lambs frolic under the sapphire sky.

New life. 

Conal

Embracing the land

Warmth fills life with joy

Banishing winter

Fed up with darkness.

The sun scorching the petals

Creeping up their backs

Letting them rise

Releasing their joy.

Children frolicking in the heat

Blossoms holding their trees

Like a never-ending friendship.

Spring has arrived.

Madoka

A blossom blooms

Adorning the bare trees

Opening a path of new life

A calm aroma

Drifts in the breeze.

Refreshing our souls

Bringing a tear to my eye

A petal pirouettes.

The sound of birds

Fill my heart

Leaving me with joy

And nothing else.

Nature has a power

Something that can only be felt

Only with a pure, true heart.

Luci

The icy chill discintegrates

And a stream of golden warmth blooms

Kowhai warms the peaceful trees

As blossom adorns botanical gardens.

A smile appears on a child's face

And sends happiness to others

Freshly mown grass's aroma drifts through

The sunlight.

Butterflys dart through the open sky

Crickets leap from leaf to leaf

Daffodils rise

The sun creeps up their lush green spine.

Evelyn

Leaves transform from dusty brown to an emerald green

Wilting flowers turn and rise

Shadows stretch across the sun-kissed ground

Waves lap over a beach spiraled with spring treasures.

Smiles quickly spread across children's faces

As the sun comes from her hiding place

Laughing buzzes around the lambs, frolicking in the grass

The wind whispers

"Spring, spring."

Catherine

A blanket of warmth caresses the new born

Lambs frolic through the wilting flowers

As an aroma lingers above.

The dim grey clouds disappear

And become sapphire blue

The bird's voice forces the winter's wind

To cower.

Daffodils awaken capturing the sun's rays

This is the beginning of a new life.
