Class M have written poems exploring the different faces of winter. They began by looking at the poem below.
Monochrome Serenity Icy frost-bitten finger stretch out across the land Snow caresses the wide wild wood in empty serenity Wise old trees held down by white crystal prisons Bleak monochrome silhouettes against the cold crying sky Still and quiet shout across the desolate panorama Eager icicles feel their way blindly to the depths Austere white flakes flutter to the ground like icy butterflies Its uniqueness lost in a sea of similarity and camaraderie Yellow rays dwindle into memory and darkness reclaims all Distant suns shine their pity down on the night Eternal loneliness shrouds the unmoving moonlit landscape Mr Burrett - January 2010
My Winter The soft white snow melts gently I race down the hill And end up on the beach I run back up the hill I sit at the top of the hill And watch the water come in and out I see some friends We have a snow ball fight I feel the soft white snow in my hand Just like it was a cloud The smell of the salty water I see the icicles are as sharp as knives The trees must be sad because they must be so cold The cars must be scared because the road is slippery I slowly go back home I get into dry clothes. By Adam
The Wintry Street The snow pouring down on the ground Children playing in the streets Icicles all around The snow as soft as cotton wool Heavy straining clouds dropping snow People admiring the snowmen The cars slipping and sliding down the street Trees block the children’s way The ground as hard as rock The sky looks like it is falling By Anthony
Winter Lane I see the stream, frozen in time Snow blanketing the frost bitten crops The trees stretch their branches Freeing themselves from their icy prisons All the bushes so delicate and beautiful The snow as soft as cotton wool Nothing to break the silence So peaceful and quiet No one there, but silence By Ben
Snowy Snow It’s snowing, it’s snowing The snow flakes are falling My family is building a snowman today It’s no surprise that the road is icy The children are skating Snowmen and snowballs everywhere When it snows it’s fun The school is closed When it gets too cold We sit next to the fire Dreaming what it would be like If I were a snowman By Charlize
Winter Street The icicles drip as the snow melts away The children go in as there is nothing to play The ground is still so cold So slippery outside The frost on the trees is melting away The snow has almost gone The children are very sad But it’s not that too bad After all the snow had gone The children have come back out to play But it didn’t really matter The snow would come back another day By Darci
My Winter Poem The ground hard like a rock Snow falling on the ground Children sledging down the hill People wrapped up, so very warm Children shouting loudly Children having fun Going home for hot chocolate Sitting by the fire defrosting By Eleanor
Winter poem The snow as soft as the clouds The tree looks angry with the snow on his shoulders Children playing in the snow with laughter Icicles as hard as stone You can hear the choir singing The sky as white as paper Frozen cars and frozen roads People indoors having a warm hot chocolate Feel of the crunchy snow when walking You can smell the freezing breeze Children making igloos Mums cooking roast dinners The plants drop the snow The wind blows a blizzard The animals in their shelters Waiting for the sun to shine again By Elise
Out My Window I see children playing with snowballs Snowmen and sledges I hear children happily laughing As I touch the dewy window I take a sip of my hot chocolate Calm and warm inside my house The freezing frosty flakes falling Covering the icy growing ground The bare trees with no leaves By Elliot
Mountain Day The soft snow falls gently on my glove I see icicles in the dark gloomy caves The wind blows in my face I hear wolves howling in the distant mountains Kids making snowmen and having snowball fights I hear the wind whistling in my ear Children screaming and shouting like monkeys The snow is falling off the trees fast and happily
By Fraser
Windy Winter I see the children playing in the country I hear the sound of laughter The snow covers the ground Trees flopped over me from the heavy snow I touch the icicles on the houses I hear the wide windy wood The snow feels like cold cotton wool I smell the fresh frost The ground feels so icy The sky is full of falling clouds By Gemma
The Great Mountain There is a ski lodge in the mountains It’s a good place to ski The wild wind makes your fingers icy cold The mountain is ready for a race On the slippery snow they slide It is so much fun The snow like a blanket of white It is a very nice sight Igloos standing proud and tall Everyone has gone The mountain starts to look sad Lonely, cold and abandoned By Hector
Snow Day The snowflake fall from the sky like bullets, People running around Icy cold frost makes icicles on peoples drainpipes The trees shiver like snowmen The trees falling down in the wild wind The shivering snowman sings in the frost The children throw snowballs People having fun Everybody drinking hot chocolate Everybody wrapping up warm Having days off from school Slippery roads with no cars Everything is white like snow By Howie
My Frosty Cold Morning I wake up in the morning feeling cold The wind blows with the snow in the sky Icicles freeze as the cold air Swishes past into the frosted sky I stare out my window, snowmen everywhere People jumping trying to touch the sky My mum comes in with some warm hot chocolate All warm inside my body By Isabel
Snow Day The shining shivering snow floods across the ground I touch the beautiful blanket of snow Snow crystals flutter down from the white sky Children wearing warm clothes and bobsleighing Lovely snowmen shine like glitter The smell of hot chocolate flowing to my nose Icicles on roofs as pointy as a dagger The ground is as icy as a cold river Blinding blizzards of snow The trees in the wild wood so icy Hedges bending over with heavy snow People sliding down hills everywhere By Jack
The Sledge on the Hill I go outside to play with my friends Building snowmen Making snowballs Having fun I get my sledge It crashes on the snow I see the sparkly spinning snow Fly into the air I make snowballs I throw them The snow came down like rain It makes me feel alive By Jasmine
Daydream The crystals falling from the sky Soft snow is glistening in the warm sun I can hear the echoes in my ear The wind whipping through me I hear the birds singing a peaceful song I see reindeers playing in the snow I can see a single sad snowman standing alone I can see a bouncy bunny hopping into its burrow Daydreaming in the classroom Wishing for the snow By Jemma
Frozen Forest Walking in the bitter frozen forest The leaves crunching beneath my feet The wind is wild The frost just able to move in the icy air The peaceful moment Not a voice could be heard The river flowing underneath the frozen surface Trees sadden under the snow, frozen through The clouds grouping up in the sky The snow starts falling Glittering snow on the soft ground The crystals shining all day By Joanne
My Winter The frosty frozen flakes Drift out of the fluffy cloudy sky Frozen like ice Placing blankets of snow Freezing the cold tree trunks Icicles grow and hang on the trees The rock hard ground covered with frost People sledging down the hills The crunching snow under the sky The wind whistling loudly The deep blankets of snow Snowballs flying in the air In this winter wonderland By Joshua
Frozen Ice My friends and I go ice skating Our sharp blades cutting through the silvery ice We have a snowball fight My friend throws one at me I start getting cold so I go indoors My friends still enjoying the winter wonderland While I have hot chocolate The milk swirls around like the galaxy I go outside to play on my sledge And my friend pushes me down the hill. Weee! We have so much fun, like at a theme park I say goodbye to my friends and go indoors By Keira
Snow Blizzard I see a blanket of snow across the land The snow swirling in the sky Echoes over me Sledges fly over hills Snow soft like a pillow The snowflakes float gracefully While the New Year passes The snow stays soft and white The snow twinkles in the air I hear the sound of laughter People playing in the snow I feel happy and alive By Kieran
The Snowy Mountain As I climb the last of the soft, shivering snow I hear the wind whistling in my ears I have climbed the bleak mountain I walked to see the frosty trees Bare trees leave a small frozen pathway The sky whirling like a blizzard Sweeping across the sky Swooping robins meet each other above my head Little cottages of the mountain Keeping with candles and fires No one in sight Not a foot step to be seen The ground is shivering No one else, only me. By Kirsty
Glowing Mountains The cold snow glowing on the mountains The sun goes down The big rocks fall The snow comes down Not a sound can be heard Against the strong dark wind The old oak tree groans under the snow The crunch of the crispy snow on the floor The snow covers all The icicles fall off the trees The clouds come down from the sky Covering the mountain tops By Laura
Winter’s Eve Icicles dripping like a platform to the ground Frozen flakes falling frantically to the floor Children making snowmen and having fun Snow falling from the sky The happiness of people playing The ground as hard as an ice I feel the warmth of a fire’s flame The smoke of the fire whooshing past me People hiding inside Blizzards cover the world in whiteness Snowflakes falling down on earth Winter’s Eve has come By Lauren
Winter Day The dripping of the icicles The laughter of children The smash of a snowball The roll of a snowman The whistle of the wind The bendy heavy trees The chat of mums and dads The slip of the sledges The crunch of the snow The swoosh of the sky The dogs rolling in snow The snow falling on the ground The shiver of the world By Leila
Stormy Night The waves crashing against the sandy beach I can feel a hand locking itself into my hand Suddenly snow started spinning from the sky The ground is as soft as a pillow The sky is as grey as a stone The sand is as wet as the rain The sea was as angry as my dad on a bad day Rain started to fall from the sky The wind was screeching like my mum The sea was going as wild as a tiger The snow was twirling in the wind The snow was getting thicker and thicker I looked around There was know one in sight The snow had reached my knees I was all alone on a wintry night By Mary
Ice The icicles drop onto the sore sad ground As the gloomily world wraps itself up in a blanket The trees glisten gently waving in the wind All around the lonely park is quiet The swings swinging Everywhere is wet I hear birds twittering Crystals twinkling like stars round and round I love this time of year.
By Rae
In The Snow Weeeeeeeee! Down the vertical drop My Dad and I run off Down we go Then we have a snow ball Fighting until we’re white We went in the dip snow Then we went home from the fun By Rhys
Cold Frosty Morning The cold frosty morning Snow in the sky Snow as soft as cotton wool Icicles dripping everywhere People screaming down the hill Slipping and sliding Children playing in the snow Making snowmen and igloos Snow like crystals Ice covering the ground Cold snow on your finger tips The warmth in your home By Rosie
Winter Story I play in the soft fluffy snow I hear my brother playing with the icicles I see a blanket of snow talking to each other It’s starts to snow again Then the gate starts to bang I feel a gust of wind blowing It sweeps back my hair All the snow comes off the roof like an avalanche.
By Ryan L
Snow Poem Snow falling to the ground Children playing in the snow Snowball flying everywhere Snowflakes glittering in the sky Icy drops glide to the ground People skating on the ice Children building snowmen in their garden Because winter is the best time of the year By Ryan M
Winter poem Waves crash on the beach Boats sway side to side Buoys bob up and down Children making snowmen Screaming children making snowballs Ice falls, dropping from trees Snow sliding off the beach Snow dripping, drip, drip Freezing frosty snow Footprints in the snow Benches frosty and cold Children running to the cars By Tomasz
Snow Day I hear packs of wolves howling Snowflakes are falling The woods are dark and scary No one is here I feel lonely Nothing but the snow covering everything I hear the trees Whispering in my ear Icicles fall from the sky The blizzard is about to come By Trenay
I Don’t Trust a Snowman I don’t trust a Snowman I’ll tell you why The sky was so bored Of being white all winter I don’t trust a Snowman And this is why Snow dropped down from the wintry sky My family is making a snowman With buttons for its eyes It’s a very nice surprise I don’t trust a Snowman And this is why One wintry day My family was going inside Xander had past by Left alone was I I don’t trust a Snowman And this is why I glared at the snowman Looking quite joyful But then suddenly It ran after me I ran inside I don’t trust a Snowman And that is why By Zak
