Themes of open section
Children, let’s make some poems related to your competition.
Theme: Beauty
Topic: Peach Pie
Pick a Peach,
Pop a Peach
On your tongue;
Squeeze it hard
And taste the juice…
Pick another one!
One for the basket,
Two for the mouth,
Three for supper,
Four for tea;
Five for the dish,
Then open wide!
Here’s the plumpest
And that’s for me!
Pick a peach,
Pop a peach
On your tongue;
Squeeze it hard
And taste the juice…
Now they’ve gone!

Imagination
1. think of any useless objects
2. read a poem about
a goalkeeper who saved everything-----except goals.
What a save
Our school goalie saves old clothes
And grandma’s woolen scarf
He saves old rubber bands
And empty drinking bottles
He saves supermarket plastic bags
And a lot of waterproof teabags
It’s just a shame our goalie
Can’t ever save a goal!
1. Think of some favourite school rules
2. Make some new rules
3. think if you are the new ruler of the world one day, what do you want? Try to make more silly ideas.
4. read the poem
If children ruled the world
If children ruled the world
Vegetables would be banned
And adults return home before six
Teachers would wear uniform
And be told what to do
They would have to sit in rows all day
With no beer or champagne
PE lessons would be
on every sunny day
No homework would be given before exam
And festival days
Things would be much better
If only for a day
So come on children everywhere
It’s time to get our way
5. want to try?
