My pets

My pets are dogs.
One is beige and the other
brown. They have
black eyes and little ears.

They play, run
and bark.
They eat, drink
and sleep.

They are both girls
and play all day.
They are good, friendly
and lovely.

I have had them for two years,
they are happy
and they behave like children.

Eight friends!

Seven friends are only
girls and one boy.
We have fun, play and
we talk together.

We are great company,
talk and gossip a lot.
George has given us
many nicknames.

I am a jellyfish
Mariniki is a snake
Anthi is a medusa
Marianthi is a bird
Cathrine is an owl
Wan is an exotic fruit
Marilia is a turkey
George is a zombie.

My friends and I feel
very good
and we tell
all our secrets.

My friends and I

My friends and I
have fun together
we play, sing, dance and laugh
We always eat 'like pigs' together
and don't attend the lesson, yeah!

I am the clever owl in our team
Marilia is the tallest girl
Marianthi is the little bird
and Mariniki is the strongest snake
Anthi is the best in talking
and Wan is the best model
George is the funniest person!
And Marilia is the red card!

We are the best characters
we are the happy friends
we are the sunshine of our world
we are the crazy friends!

War child

War is terrible
unfair and horrible
I flee my land
to save myself

I lose my friends
I lose relatives too
I lose my homeland
and my homestead

I don't know what will become
of me
will I be saved or lost
I would want all this to be
a bad dream at most.

Beautiful season

In spring flowers bloom
and laughters also bloom

The sun smiles at us!

Magical spring does its magic
on all of us.

Almond trees blossom, flowers spring.
A beautiful season is spring
of the prettiest, I think.

Poem written by
Anthi Koumarianou

Spring

The almond tree blossoms
the heat begins
Easter approaches
the whole nature changes!

The kite fly
high in the sky
Tweet the birds
on the branch!

Summer

End of schools, time to skive
now let's go to the beach to take a dive!

Let's go to our friends to play
and have a great day!

How about going on a trip
all in great joy!

Let's make great memories
and live beautiful moments.

Easter

Easter time is here
to many customs we adhere
we paint eggs in red ink
many carols we sing!

Cookies we bake
the house fills with smells
we clean gardens with a rake
lemon trees give out fragrant smells.

A big round of applause to all the students who poured their souls into these poems and also a wish for the shy ones that they not be afraid to shine.
