Ujwal's poem Grade 3

Ants are crawling
Peacocks are calling
River is flowing
Tree leaves are growing
Elephant's tail is swinging
Birds wings are flapping
The Rani is walking
The Raja is sitting and saying:
"Please begin today's session"

Dhruv's Present continuous tense III Grade

Bird's are tweeting
The sun is shining
The trees are growing
The ants are crawling
Mummy is shouting
Daddy is driving
Grandpa is walking
I am studying
The baby is crying!

Aradhana's poem Grade 3

The silver fish died
The star fish cried
The sharks laughed
HA HA HA!
Ships are sailing
People are enjoying
The wind is blowing
The sun is glowing
I am cheering!

Story Poem by Anvitha of grade 3

Jack fell down
Jill ran away
Mother shouted
Father took a stick
Dog said bow bow
The cat said meow meow
Crow said caw caw
Jack got up and went away!

Poem by Saachi 3rd Grade

The ant died
The mother cried
The house turned white
The toys fell down
The tiger's tail dropped off
The fairy's wings stopped flapping
The fairy's brothers tray shook
The fairy's mother got stuck to the throne.

Story poem by Nehal 3rd Grade

A cow died
The bull cried
The sky turned dark
The rain fell down
The dog's tail dropped off
The sparrow's wings stopped flapping
The queen's silver tray shook
The king's throne stuck.
