Please Mrs. Butler
This boy Derek Drew
Keeps copying my work, Miss.
What shall I do?
Go and sit in the hall, dear.
Go and sit in the sink.
Take your books on the roof, my lamb.
Do whatever you think.
Please Mrs. Butler
This boy Derek Drew
Keeps taking my rubber, Miss.
What shall I do?
Keep it in your hand, dear.
Hide it up your vest.
Swallow it if you like, my love.
Do what you think best.
Please Mrs. Butler
This boy Derek Drew
Keeps calling me rude names, Miss.
What shall I do?
Lock yourself in the cupboard, dear.
Run away to sea.
Do whatever you can, my flower.
But don't ask me!
I like this poem because Mrs.Butler uses a lot of sarcasm while she is speaking.
The part where I like it is when they have the same boy getting into trouble over and over again.They have kept it on the same concept as before.It also uses lots of repetition.
My favourite poem is Algy and the bear:
ReplyDeleteAlgy met a bear
The bear met Algy
The bear grew bulgy
The bulge was Algy
This poem is my favourite because it's funny and short. This poem has a bit of repition in it because it mentioned bear and Algy a lot.
London's tallest building, the Shard has a height of 306 M there are other famous buildings in Central London for e.g which the height is 135 M.The population of London is now around 8.165 million!London has a famous river called the River thames.
ReplyDeleteA new home because you might have a new bedroom that you might not like.But after a few days you might get used to it.Or you might even like it more than your old house.But still you will experience a big change during the move.
ReplyDeleteWhen I moved to a new house I was really nervous. But now I really like it, I have kind neighbours and I live closer to family members. When I just moved I had to sleep in a small bunk bed. (It was really uncomfortable!) But after a while I got a new bed. In lots of ways change can be really hard, for example if you are a new person in a new school you probably would feel anxious and nervous. If you were moving house or country. But changing is a part of life and there is nothing we can do about it.

ReplyDeleteWhat Am I?
ReplyDeleteI’m bigger than the entire earth
More powerful than the sea
Though a million, billion have tried
Not one could ever stop me.
I control each person with my hand
and hold up fleets of ships.
I can make them bend to my will
with one word from my lips.
I’m the greatest power in the world
in this entire nation.
No one should ever try to stop
a child’s imagination.
This is my favourite poem because it gives a strong moral about how amazingly powerful your imagination can be. It also uses an outstanding amount of exaggeration and personification. Another reason for why I like this piece so much is because at the beginning it kind of makes you wonder what it was, thus creating a short yet effective suspense.

Don’t do,
ReplyDeleteDon’t do,
Don’t do that.
Don’t pull faces,
Don’t tease the cat.
Don’t pick your ears,
Don’t be rude at school.
Who do they think I am?
Some kind of fool?
One day
They’ll say
Don’t put toffee in my coffee
Don’t pour gravy on the baby
Don’t put beer in his ear
Don’t stick your toes up his nose.
Don’t put confetti on the spaghetti
And don’t squash peas on your knees.
Don’t put ants in your pants
Don’t put mustard in the custard
Don’t chuck jelly at the telly
And don’t throw fruit at a computer
Don’t throw fruit at a computer.
Don’t what?
Don’t throw fruit at a computer.
Don’t what?
Don’t throw fruit at a computer.
Who do they think I am?

I like this poem, because it is funny, gives the reader a good impression of what’s happening and has a nice rhythm. Rhyme and powerful language have been used very well in this poem, however similes and personification are very poorly used.
When I experience a change it's sometimes sad. Sometimes it's happy. When I left my old school, Hounslow Town, I felt sad. I felt sad as I had got used to the routines there. I also felt a little confused as i had never changed school before. To be honest I don't think anyone helped me overcome the change apart from my parents.
ReplyDeleteIn poems you might find some rhyming words and repetition and the poem may be in verses and in a rhythm. There are similes and metaphors and maybe even a chorus that gets repeated. There are still more. One of the poems I like is by Michael Rosen. His techniques that he uses is facial expression and projecting and changing his voice along with many more. He makes all of his poems funny and interesting by sometimes doing actions which helps the person understand more about the poem and it makes the poem more effective. All of his poems are funny and enjoyable.

A time in my life when I have experienced change was when my cat died at the age of 24. My mummy helped me forget she had died and pretended she was sleeping by speaking to me. When I was little she told me that she had become a star. We created a bench with her name carved in to it. What I wanted more than anything was to get her back. Even now I wish I could see her again. When we experience a change it is difficult, but after a while you get used to it.

ReplyDeleteThe changes in London help us today as there was a law that king John, also known as bad king John, signed a paper known as the magna carter. That piece of paper changed every thing as it said that even if you are king or queen you were never higher than the law. That also introduced the government. That was only one thing that change. They also introduced a prime minister, a person who would rule the country.
ReplyDeleteLondon's population is around 8.6 million people. The climate in the winter and autumn are cold and wet, and London only really gets around 3 months of sunshine per year, normally in June, July and August. The major river running through London is the River Thames. There are many interesting landmarks in London such: London eye, BigBen,Hampton court palce , houses of parlament. and many many more.
Science. I experienced a change when I started saying senteces at the age of two. This was an exciting event because my communication was starting to improve. I felt happy because I was able to speak to my family relitives and friends. I was also excited too as I had accomplished one step in life, of course I did not know that at the time
ReplyDeleteGeography of London
ReplyDeleteLondon lies on the River Thames, about 50km from the North Sea.
In the 1970s and 80s a large barrier was built in the eastern part of the city to stop incoming water from flooding the nation’s capital.
London became one of the first megacities in the world. Since the end of World War II, however the population of the city has begun to decrease because so many people have moved to the suburbs and new towns outside of London.
Tourism is an important economic factor for the city. Every year millions of people from over the world come to London to see the city’s well – known Sights.
The climate for London is broadly similar to the rest of the UK, with cool summers, mild winters, no wet or dry season, and often moderate to strong winds.
The lowest point of London assuming none of London is sea level, the lowest point, above water will vary constantly. It will be the waterline of the River Thames where is crosses the eastern most boundary of London. It will, of course, be lowest at low tide during a period of spring tides.
The highest point would be Primrose Hill great walking from Camden towards Primrose Hill, nice and charming shops nearby. Sunny day is the perfect day to visit. Because of the geographical venue spread, so many people this month will be lucky enough to witness London on the ground, instead of just underground, and get a fuller sense of its architectural landscape and urban layout.
There are 10 major of bodies of water in London: River Thames, Regents Canal, Alexandra Palace, Tooting Bec Lido, Serpentine Boating Lake, King Cross Pond Club, River Lea Navigation, Shadwell Basin, Highgate Bathing and Clapton Pond.
Finally some of the most important landmark in London for the public or Tourists are the following: Big Ben, Buckingham Palace, City Hall, House of Parliament, Harrods, Downing Street, The Shard, Tower Bridge, Globe Theatre and Horse Guards.
