Room 5 have been learning to write limericks.  We know a limerick has five lines, a pattern of rhyming and a pattern of rhythm.  It tells a story and could be funny.  We wrote some swimming sports limericks.

We went to college to compete
My limbs felt just like jelly meat
I dived into the pool
And it was very cool
I'm glad I had hot food to eat.

As I sat on a step looking down
Wrapped in my towel like a gown
I felt terribly cold
I was not feeling bold
But at least I'm not going to drown

One day our school went for swim
I hit my head on a rim
I tried such a lot
To stop the plot
But the pain would not give in

Tomarata School went for a splash
With lane ropes so they didn't crash
They had lots of fun
And when they were done
They all put their waste in the trash.

One day our school went to the pool
It was oh so very cool
I quickly jumped in
To have a quick swim
Now I don't feel such a fool

The starter guns were very loud
My friends were cheering and real proud
I jumped high like a jumping bean
My face showed I was not so keen
When I won I was in a cloud
