Poems by Judy

The poem below is a acrostic poem about Sunnybrae...

ACROSTIC POEM ‘SENIORS’

So desperate to move on, out of Sunnybrae when we were juniors.

Endless chatting, silenced by the stern words of teachers that lingered and gave the classroom an eerie silence.

Nearly haunting the handball courts, marking it as their territory.

Irritating (some of us), yet sometimes we still get awards and certificates.

“Oh yes!” We are getting better at using electronic devices from all the ‘practice’ we do at school.

Realising how many more weeks we have here, no one wants to leave...

Sunnybrae has been the best place!

Now the poem below describes a feeling that we have had at Sunnybrae...

Feelings poem

Luck is light green mixed with a happy yellow, joyously lashing against the paint pot.

When you scratch a card and find out that you’ve just won the lotto, you know that luck is upon you.

Luck tastes like rich nectarine ice cream on a drenchingly hot summer afternoon

Luck sounds like jingling bells of laughter echoing down a candle-lit hallway.

Luck looks like glorious sunshine on a four-leaf-clover.

Luck smells like fresh bread out of the oven.

Luck is knowing that there is a sunny day ahead.

Team Building at Camp - by Jessica

Below is Jessica's piece of writing about her experience of Team Building at camp!

Team building By Jessica

“ Left, right, left, right!” my team of 4 yelled. We were with Mr Whiting doing team building and our first activity in team building was where we had to get in groups of 4, with boys and girls, then walk across part of the field on the ski mask. We weren't that bad and were in fact better than most of the other people in A3. The time was 6 minutes and 43 seconds, I think.

The next activity was climbing over a high wall where one of the sides was easy. Well, I found that one of the sides were kind of like a built in ladder! I found it easy (I'm not scared of heights) so for the people who were, we cheered for them and they made it.

The hard part was getting back over on the flat side. First we had to choose who was going to lift everyone up. We chose Vinny, Casey and Spencer. I was the first to go up. I know this sounds weird but I thought of it like riding a horse. It is like that because when you hop on a horse you swing one leg over first, then sit on it. So that’s what I did, but if you were one of the people who were not pulling people up from the top (which I was), you would go back over the other side.

Overall I think we are now a better team because of this.
