Middle School Students have been celebrating Literacy Week with some key events: the provocative ‘Elephant Toothpaste’ scientist scene, reading with the Junior School students, and dressing as their favourite characters from books.
Please enjoy a few poems that were created in response to the science lab scene set up in the quad on Wednesday morning. At break time two bizarrely dressed scientists with blue hair, appeared, amidst smoke and coloured test tubes, and performed a very strange experiment. What was it all about? Let’s see…
These poems were written immediately after the event…
Natural Science
Chemicals mix
Atoms everywhere
111 x 6
Everything is fair
No one in despair
Friendship care
Foam arises
Lots of nature surprises
Scent of scientific smell
Everything blends well
Yes or no friction
Rises of extinction
Disappearance comes faster
Cause of natural disasters
Trees die
Papers fold
None has been told
That it’s the end of the world
BOOM!
They are here, they bring your fears
The scientists are here to stay, or maybe they want to play
They are crazy, but don’t think they are lazy
They have goo, but don’t think it’s for you
They may have slime and some lime
Don’t be a fool because they are ghouls
With a sinister leer, they jeer and cheer
Even though, sometimes, they may be a blur, but that’s just to deter
Although they are labor-intensive , at least, they aren’t really offensive
Even though, they may bring our doom, at least, we’ll go out in a really big
BOOM!
By two Grade 6 students
Please look out for more responses to this event in future…
