Hunter Swoop | English

Top Left corner

- Dark grey clouds cover the sky making it look like a thunderstorm is about to happen, a lonely mountain peak can be seen from the distance.

Top Right corner

- The bright sky covered in colourful clouds reflect the light of the glowing sun behind it.

Bottom

- Murky waters can be seen from the edge of the bridge, no life can be seen from the dark and unclear waters of the lake.

Middle 

- As I walk slowly toward the end of the bridge, I see a girl with long dark hair sitting alone, not a single sound can be heard apart from her breath, I ran and ran towards her and before I could get to the end, she looked me in the eye and jumped into the mirror-like lake, though unclear, still reflected a sight of green mountains so tall. 

The Hunters Swoop | English

- Top left corner of the image

 Dark trees and branches cover the background making it look like a dark black hole.

- Top right corner of the image

As the dead trees disappear into the mist and fog, Dark trees stand tall as if leading the ones behind.

- Bottom part of the image

The mirror-like lake reflects a beautiful yet frightening sight of dark dead trees, its leaves scattered as if they were being set free, another world can be seen once I looked in.

- Middle part of the image
As I walk through the misty and foggy forest, still frightened by what I have seen, I was greeted by a glistening lake reflecting all of the darkness behind me. I have thought my journey was rough yet now that I am standing here I have learned to realize that the hardships I've been through have been worth the fear when I see such I mesmerizing sight.

The Hunter Swoop | English

 A Sky so cloudy, A mountain can barely be seen from behind.

Ice covers the mountains, so cold yet so bright as the snow reflects the sun's light.

A sheet of frost covers the road, clearly slippery from the ice. streaks of tire tracks from cars driving left their mark on the thin layer of ice.

everything disappears when it reaches the end of the horizon to a breathtaking view of mountains so cold and bright.

Starfish Poem | Social Studies

THE STARFISH POEM

Once upon a time, there was a wise man 

who used to go to the ocean 

to do his writing. 

He had a habit of walking 

on the beach 

before he began his work. 

One day he was walking along 

the shore. 

As he looked down the beach, 

he saw a human 

figure moving like a dancer. 

He smiled to himself to think 

of someone who would 

dance to the day. 

So he began to walk faster 

to catch up. 

As he got closer, he saw 

that it was a young man 

and the young man wasn't dancing, 

but instead, he was reaching 

down to the shore, 

picking up something

and very gently throwing it 

into the ocean. 

As he got closer he called out, 

"Good morning! What are you doing?" 

The young man paused, 

looked up and replied, 

"Throwing starfish in the ocean." 

"I guess I should have asked, 

why are you throwing starfish in the ocean?" 

"The sun is up and the tide is going out. 

And if I don't throw them in they'll die." 

"But, young man, don't you realize that 

there are miles and miles of beach 

and starfish all along it. 

You can't possibly make a difference!" 

The young man listened politely. 

Then bent down, picked up another starfish 

and threw it into the sea, 

past the breaking waves and said- 

"It made a difference for that one."

The main message of this poem

- A single person can make such a significant change to our environment and if people start making small differences in their everyday life they would be helping more and more. other people might doubt that just throwing a single piece of rubbish won't make a difference but if more people started doing it, those small changes can turn into something big.
