A - THE MOSCOW CIRCUS BY MARCUS BUMSTEIN . Saturday afternoon I went to see the Moscow Circus. I saw many things. There were acrobats j tight-rope walkers and two very funny clowns.

ORIGINAL POEMS. - COLOURS BLACK Black makes me think of an empty house. No noise at all but a squeaking mouse. The door shut tight That gave me a fright? This was pitch dark night With not a single gleam of light I lit a candle with a lot of cares But creepy shadows went up the stairs A skeletons head and a creepy house Made me nm out faster than a champion mouse. David WainiNnright. B LUE Blue makes me think of the sea With a chest on the bottom with both lock and key Many fishes under me playing with a flea One fish even caught a bumble bee A big fish shouted with glee When he saw my hurt knee. Paul MDnahan. GREEN VJhen I think of green 5 I think of life I think of life in summer, With fresh cut grass and flov er stems. I think of water lillies. And a small stream with a waterfall at the end. Dark green makes me think of Autumn, With green falling leaves They make me feel fresh and playful. Tony Gillis. BLACK When I think of black, I think of a cat. And even some things That are spookier than that! When I ' m taking a nap And I think of a rap A burglar very large and fat Comes in and says| Nov what is that? Robert MacDonald.
