That's how I feel
Frozen inside, an empty shell.

Sit flowers so bright
Grass so light

A storm is coming.

Save trees

It is old and under stress
But it is still well dressed -
The Kakapo

Different but alike.
The beautiful horizon in sight of our quiet caring tall homey home, -
When you came

one step at a time,
trees, flowers, lemon and lime.
All was fine, all was well, -
A photographer’s dream
By Audrey (Year 5, Wollongong Public School)A blade of grass, a bug on a leaf
A majestic turtle, gliding through the reef,
A single white flower in a field of green
All of which a photographer’s dream -
Another world
By Ema (Year 6, Brunswick South Primary School)I step into another world, just another speck in the vast universe. Memories, hidden in each layer of the soil. I'm digging them up. Uncovering secrets and stories from centuries ago, from another world.

ocean

I smell salty ocean water,
I see a happy place in front of me, -
Numbat

You can find me soothing. -
Swish splash

Swish splash
Look at the frogs jumping in the swamp
Swish splash -
The tree

It sways and sings,
It builds a battle for you and me.
The tree keeps me cosy and soft. -
The river.

As it runs past,
New friends constantly leaving me,
Why do they leave? -
Caldera Waltz

Clownish conductors, maestros of the morning
Lilting over notes marcato, maestoso

This indulgent, tranquil place;
The place I call home.
In touch with my vulnerability, -
The Chase
By Charles (Year 5, Lansdowne Crescent Primary School)The little penguin was walking across the golden sand on the beach
Enjoying the bright morning sun.
Or at least he was, before a nasty feral cat dashes after the poor penguin.
The penguin turns around the way he came and runs as fast as he can
