More Team Roto Poetry to Colour Our World



Team Roto (Years 3 & 4) brainstormed colours together- it was amazing how many strange and unusual things they came up with, inspired by a particular colour. Check out their writing below and see if you can work out which colour they are!


I am a penguin's pale tummy.
I am a pure cloud floating across the sky.
I'm a spotless clean sheet on a new bed.
I am the wool of a sheep getting shaved off.
I'm a tissue being delicately pulled out of a box.
I'm the shaving cream getting put on my dad's face.
I am the smell of garlic, rising from the food.
I am the milk running down your chin.
     - by Xanthe, year 3


I am a fiery sun. I am a sparkler glowing bright in the night.

I am a volcano erupting with lava, I am Pacman on the beach. I am an Autumn leaf getting blown away from a kowhai tree.

I am a sunflower on a sunny day. I am solar.
I am a golden bird snatching gold coins from a person playing a bright guitar.

I am custard being eaten by little fluffy chicks.
I am a pineapple getting chopped by a knife.

I am mustard squirted into a sausage. 
I am Goldilocks sitting on a throne.
     - by Chloe, year 4


I am a shiny one dollar coin.
I am a gold tooth in Bones' mouth.
I taste like onions.
I am gold earrings hanging
on soft earlobes.
     - by Maddy, year 3


I am lemon and corn,
mango, juicy and delicious.

I am a chick picturing the bright
sun. The sunny flavour of sweet rice.

I am a pineapple getting chopped into
little bricks.

I am mustard spreading on bread.
I am a great volcano erupting
lava.
     - by Manaal, year 4


I'm a wicked windmill. I am the tummy of a penguin. I am tasty rice. I am wool of a sheep being shaved. I am shaving cream from someone shaving. I am foam from the edge of the sea. I am a big rainy cloud in the sky. I am a round garlic.
     - by Max, year 4


I am a little drooping daisy petal. I am a tiny wriggly huhu grub. I am fluffy wool from a sheep. I am a jar of salt beside the sugar. I am a penguin's wobbling belly. I'm crackling polystyrene. I'm sea foam at the edge of the waves. I'm the outside of the egg. I taste of whipped cream. I am a delicate piece of paper.
     - by Micaiah, year 3


I am a dolphin gracefully gliding through the sea. I am the sky, crying, raindrops falling from your eyes. I am a wave soaking everyone on the beach. I am a water fountain granting wishes.
     - by Lucy, year 4


I am the bright, sunny, cloudy sky. I am a wave rising up from the sea. I am a sunshower falling to earth. I am a forget-me-not stretching my petals. I am a waterfall rushing over bumpy rocks. I taste like the salty ocean.
     - by Hannah M, year 4



I am a pure penguin's tummy. I'm fluffy wool from a sheep. I'm a sparkling sheet of paper. I'm snowy rice waving in the wind. I'm spotless cotton balls. I'm clean garlic.
     - Hamish, year 4



I am Nature lurking in the forest.
I am leaves in the warm summer.
I am dangerous ivy people dare to approach.
I am stems coming out of the bottomless dirt.
I am a caterpillar strolling down a branch,
wee chubby little cheeks.
     - by Hannah LM, year 4



I am fat orange staying on a plate.
I am pumpkin, sour and delicous. I am 
a golden sun, soft like wool. Once I was dark,
but now mango is my new colour.
I sound like an alarm.
     - by Edwin, year 4


I am a penguin's tummy, feathers ruffling.
I'm sugar, poured into a bowl.
I'm a snowflake, patterns all over me,
a cherry blossom petal, falling with the 
wind.
I'm a grain of rice, as small as the tip of a pen,
a polar bear roaring out loud,
I'm a cotton ball as fluffy as a kitten.
I feel cold, skin pale as snow.
     - by Shona, year 4


I am a raging fire dancing around,
I am a running fire engine spraying water,
I am a waving poppy swinging in the breeze,
I am a beach-ball being thrown by a human,
I am a werewolf's pupil, all angry.
     - by Tristan, year 4



I am a bowl of blueberries, squashed with others.
I am a dangerous fin upon the top of the ocean, surfing.
I am a raindrop falling from the sky.
I am a waterfall upon rocks. I am an antidote 
and cure for poisons. I'm the screen 
of a computer, making me the homepage.
I'm the sound
of loneliness calling for help.
     - by Ryan S, year 4

Athletic Poetry from Team Roto

Sports Challenge
by  Manaal age 8

Bang! The clappers snipped!
Running like a skateboard
Smelling like a dog
Tasting my dry mouth
Hearing the bell ting
As the camera flashes
Feeling warm fuzzies
Tasting a lemonade ice block


"Go Woodbury!"
by Xanthe, age 8

Butterflies in my tummy
On Your Marks!
Get Set!
BANG!

"Go Xanthe!" is all I could hear
One metre from the
finish line

2nd place in the heats!
WOW!


CLOSELY
by Micaiah, age 7

Rainbow stripy mat
I jump off
Sighs from the crowd
Smelly sweat
Refreshing juice
Cool wind blowing my hair
I am like a bird


THE GAMES
by Micaiah, age 7

Click and a blink
A loud cheering crowd
Sand filling up my shoes
Petals falling into my mouth
Lemonade ice dripping
down my hand


ATHLETICS BATTLE
by Hannah M, age 8

Bang! Clappers close
fast like comets
Flashing of cameras
Grass on face as I fall
Sweaty armpits
Delicious cool ice-blocks


ATHLETICS DAY
by Chloe K, age 9

Running like a rocket
Jumping like a kangaroo
Puffing like a steam engine
Cheering like a clown
Diving like a penguin
Butterflies in my tummy
Blood taste in my mouth
Cheering in my ear
I smell fresh air
People bolting by


EVENTS TURN OUT FUN
by Ryan S, age 9

Fresh air
Heat melted me
Siren screamed out
Shotputs shined
Dry lips, frozen
Drink bottles slurped


LONG JUMP FACE-OFF
by Hamish L, age 8

Bang! We're off!
Butterflies in my tummy
Fresh air whooshing past
Dripping saliva
Dipping into the sand
3.10m new PB

Found Poetry



Found poems take existing texts, reorder and rehash them, into a poem- sometimes keeping the context and meaning, but often completely changing it.

First, our writers went on a treasure hunt, looking for fabulous words from within the text they were given. Then, like an artist creating a collage, they played with the words, switching the order several times, until they were happy with what the ended up with. Sometimes the results were surprising!

Here are some of Mrs Koster's favourites:
