Poetry by Mrs. Radcliffe's Gr. 7 class

Sandwich Maker Anator:

by Liam Gr. 7

 It gets the lettuce, mayonnaise, tomatoes and buns too!.

It stands at 6 feet tall and rolls on two.

The Sandwich Maker Anator reminds me of my mother.

It moves by rolling around the kitchen like a car in rush hour.

The Sandwich Maker Anator sounds like a happy chef that’s humming on a good day

 

Imagination

 

I have a place for imagination in my mind

We have a place for creativity in our classroom

She has a place for playfullness in her heart

He has a place for happiness in his school

They have a place for dreams in their souls

Our family has a place for love in our lives

Our school has a place for friendship in our playground

Our world has a place for everyone in unity

Where is your place for life?

  

This poem was written by Mrs Radcliffes grade 7 class.  

 

 

Bookfest Authors visit Randerson

 Randerson Ridge had the pleasure of hosting three Bookfest authors this week. Our K’s and 1’s got to do Yoga with Kathy Beliveau.  They loved playing the Yoga Game and especially liked the Lion Roar, the Cobra and the tree poses. 

Our 2’s and 3’s were delighted by Maryann Kovalski’s talented drawings.  It was amazing how she told a story and drew the pictures as she went along. We learned that there is a drawing alphabet. (circle, square, rectangle, cube and triangle)

 Our 3, 4’s and 5’s loved their interaction with David Ward. He captured their imaginations and thoroughly stoked their writing interests.  “It was so cool to hear him read from E.  A book he hasn’t even published yet. We might have been the first kids to hear it.” Gr. 4 student

Thank you to our wonderful guest authors for delighting and enriching our students. Thank you Bookfest organizers and volunteers for celebrating the joy of reading and writing each year with these wonderful Canadian authors.
