Rusty
Resting on the window sill
Under the curtains
Sleeping all day
Talking in cat language
Yawning at humans
Autumn
After summer, the leaves of the claret ash change colour;
Upgraded are the efforts of last spring.
Temerariously, the fairies of autumn tint each leaf: rouge, tangerine, golden.
Ultimately a masterpiece, resplendent!
Merrily a gust of wind arrives with a chill, the tree shivers,
Not remembering to hold on to its marvellous cloak.
Studying the physical and natural world through
Careful observation
Investigating ideas
Experimenting
Noting results
Collecting facts
Ending with our best conclusions.

Explosions!
Whoops!
William Hopper was a flea,
He hopped high as high could be.
Oh no William hopped too high –
On a pigeon passing by!
Pigeon flicked him off mid-air,
Splat went William everywhere
