Poems
Families
Families are people
Who care about you My family is special Your family is too!
Mothers and fathers,
And sisters and brothers, Grandmas and grandpas, And so many others.
One family is big
While another is small.
Some families have children, And some, none at all!
When we are together,
Or far, far apart
The people I love
Fill the map of my heart!
A family poem
Our family comes
From many homes,
Our hair is straight,
Our hair is brown, Our hair is curled,
Our eyes are blue,
Our skins are different Colours, too.
We're girls and boys,
We're young and old, We're short and tall.
We're everything
That we can be And still we are A family.
We laugh and cry,
We work and play, We help each other Every day.
The world's a lovely
Place to be
Because we are A family!
A farmer works his fields. A farmer works his fields.
Hi, Ho, the derry-o,
A farmer works his fields.
A dentist cleans our teeth. A teacher works at school.
A barber cuts our hair. A waiter serves us food.
Community helpers
Teacher, teacher, what do you do?
I teach reading and writing, too.
Doctor, doctor, what do you do?
I help when you are sick with a cold or the flu.
Firefighter, firefighter, what do you do?
I help fight fires that might hurt you.
Officer, officer, what do you do?
I help you stay safe in all that you do.
My doctor helps me
My doctor helps me when I'm sick Oh how nice he is ! Sometimes I need medicine So I'll get better fast!
He takes my temperature,
Looks in my mouth, Checks my ears,
And hears my heart.
My doctor helps me when I'm sick Oh how nice he is!
Five police officers
Five police officers standing by a door. One became a traffic cop ; then there were four.
Four police officers watching over me. One took home a lost boy; and then there were three.
Three police officers dressed all in blue.
One stopped a speeding car, and then there were two.
Two police officers --- how fast they run!
One caught a bad man, and then there was one.
One police officer saw smoke faraway. He called the firehouse, and the fireperson saved the day.
Merry Christmas

My Christmas tree
O Christmas tree I love you so!
With decorations
High and low
With bobbles all around
And bells that I found.
Presents underneath,
Wrapped so tidy and neat
A star on top
That I got in the Christmas shop
O Christmas tree I love you so!
An apple a day
An apple a day , Keeps the doctor away. Apple in the morning, Doctor's warning.
Roast apple at night. ,
Starves the doctor outright.
Eat an apple going to bed,
Knock the doctor on the head.

2, My breakfast
Hi! I'm Peter Swanton and I live in Newcastle with my parents and our lovely cat Pussy. We live in a very big flat on the second floor.
My room is not very big but it is very comfortable for me. I like to spend my time here playing computer games or reading books.
I like a lot of things but I don't like mornings. I don't like to get very early in the morning. It is difficult for me. But let me tell you one story.
One morning my mum called me for breakfast. I was rather sleepy but I took a quick shower, combed my hair and appeared in the kitchen. The table was already laid and I saw that awful porridge cooked for me. I hated that porridge! I couldn't eat it at all. I ate the fruit salad, drank a glass of milk but I didn't want to eat that porridge.
When my mum went out of the kitchen I quickly opened the window and threw the porridge out of the window. When my mum returned she saw that there was no porridge on my plate. She was pleased and I was happy.
Suddenly somebody knocked at the door. When my mum opened the door she saw a woman with that porridge on her head! My mum understood everything. She apologized and helped that woman to clean her hair. I was awfully ashamed. Of course, my mum punished me. But now I eat this porridge without any words.
