The Billy Goats Gruff

Down by the river,
Live the Billy Goats Gruff.
The wool on their bodies,
Is just like fluff.

A grumpy old troll,
Who huffs and puffs,
Lives under the bridge,
Of the Billy Goats Gruff.

This grumpy old troll,
Wears fluffy earmuffs.
He hates the sound of
The Billy Goats Gruff.

He hears their hooves,
And sniffs and scoffs.
Then he bellows out loud,
"WOULD YOU GOATS CLEAR OFF!"

African Sunsets

Room 12 has been studying Africa and in Art we have been looking at silhouettes, backgrounds and foregrounds. Look at these breathtaking sunsets that show the beautiful African plains.

Spring Day

In today's writing, Room 12 were trying to use topic words and we were trying to create mind pictures about spring. Some of us are working on using similes and describing words. How do you think we did? Please leave us a comment and tell us what you think.





It's the first day of spring. I am so excited because the days are getting longer. The blossoms are gorgeous. I just can't believe it's spring. baby lambs are playing in the cold breeze. Baby goats are doing head knocks and foals are having races on the bright green fields. Spring is so beautiful! But I don't want a bee sting - ow! - Hayley

Today is the first day of spring. In spring baby animals are being born and hatching. Bright colourful flowers bloom. In spring baby leaves are growing on trees. You can hear birds singing up in trees. Spring makes me happy because I know it's getting warmer. Flowers are as colourful as a rainbow. - Charlotte

It's the first day of spring. Spring is the time when new things are born. The kind of animals that are born are ducklings, calves, playful lambs , puppies, kittens, kids and birds. Did you know that the days are longer? Beautiful colourful flowers bloom and fresh baby leaves grow. - Anya



Today is the first day of spring. Days are longer than winter days. Some days are warm and sunny. Colourful, delicate flowers grow, like blossoms. Blossoms are white, pink and sometimes purple. The petals shimmer in the sun. - Alannah
