Hungry for a Feast Frowning, the family has no food. Eager and waiting to eat. And, should a family share on this holiday Shall they starve on Christmas? The family sits hoping others will share. by Jessica H. (Grade 5)
Player Passing the puck you watch the Lazy teammate getting caught up by the opposing defender. Alertly, you skate and take away the black rubber disk You are now on a breakaway ready to shoot... Extended, the goalie's arms reach towards the projectile with no hope ROAR!!! the crowd and your body are filled with greatness. by Lawton (Grade 5)
	Golf Getting out my one wood, I think of my shot On the upcoming par 5. As I step up to the tee block, cleats sink into the dew wet turf. Lining up the shot, thoughts are left behind.Waiting, waiting, waiting... my adrenalin builds. Finally ready. Sweaty fists clenching a perfect back swing and a follow through sends the ball soaring through the air. by Robert (Grade 5)
Dinosaurs Dreadful, roaring, roaming creatures. In search of food, carnivores. Nowhere to hide. Or possibly outrun to. Some were horrible, others were scary Average weight: 2000 lbs. Unusual beasts of the past. Rampaging around the volcanoes. Structures who once roamed the earth. by Kevin K.(Grade 5)
	Kitten Kind, soft, cuddly Independent Thinking Timid Extraordinary Now let's play! by Erin (Grade 5)
Hamsters Happily munching, crunching sunflower seeds and corn Adorable soft fluffy ball when playing or resting Mostly disappearing into a nest of twisted wood shavings Staring at you with black eyes and yawning Timidly waddling around and exploring large cages Enveloped in metal prisons Racing to the freedom of their wheel Scooping hands, reminders of captivity. "Next time," they whisper. by Megan (Grade 5)
	Ewok Explore on the planet of Ewok. Watch miniature Munchkins in grubby clothing Out to follow Kambu, the ancient leader of the Ewoks. by Robin (Grade 5)
Orcas Orbiting around the prey Raising a tail and slapping the water Cautiously it surprises the prey and races to the throat A single bite kills. Surely this kill will satisfy the predator. by Deryck (Grade 5)
