A poem to finish off

The wheels on the bus are turning

Our stomachs are a yearning

For the chocolate that is so yummy

We can't wait to fill our tummy

We visit the sweet oldies

and have moments that are worth goldies

We leave them with a small gift

And feel our hearts lift

We see animals big and small

Stuffed and standing tall

As we went inside

Our eyes open wide

As God's creation

Makes us feel elation!

By Caitin, Joy, Mrs J, Shaz, Charlene (and Mikila just joined in)
