      STARS

Stars shine behind the moon

Terrific, spooky stars

A Shooting star - make a wish

Rich Rapunzel in the sky

Skies of blue, singing moon

Nicholas Wait

    SNAILS
Sluggishly snails sneaking under moist plants

Nibbling cabbages every minute

Afraid, hiding, scared

Incredible snails shrinking into their shells

Little eyes looking for food

Swirling shells make good houses

Fergus Hanlin

    BEES

Buzzing bees

Eager Bees

Extremely good

Stingers
