Welcome to week 5.

I thought I would share this with you this week: This is a poem written by one of our Year 5 students (studying the use of similes in poetry)-

A SIMILE POEM

My Principal is like a snake chasing the bullies away

My Principal is like a busy bee flying around

She is like a beautiful princess in a castle

She is like a dog protecting her puppies

She is smart like Eddy Woo from Teenage Boss

My Principal is like a Ninja who does a lot of work

My Principal is like a glue stick who sticks by her students

My Principal is like a pen, she never stops writing and working.

What more can I say this week but thank you Shalia! Enjoy your week! Regards, Lyn Barnes Principal
