2008 Winners

River 94.9 Award – 5–6 Years

First Prize

I am a Ballerina
by Ellie Bradford
Rosewood State School, Rosewood, Qld

I am practising,
I am falling,
I am twirling,
I am leaping,
I am pirouetting,
I am balancing,
I am dancing,
I am bowing.

Second Prize

My Chooks
by Zack McAlpine
Mount Marrow State School, Mount Marrow, Qld

Every day I go
And collect their eggs

When I go
They are always there

Scratching with two legs

Third Prize

Nature
by Harvey Brown
Ferny Hills, Qld

I like nature
I like to touch nature
I like the colour of the leaves
I like the green leaves
They sound like possum's feet
On the roof at night
When it's windy.

Highly Commended

Kangaroos
by Elsie Salkeld
Chapel Hill State School, Chapel Hill, Qld

Kangaroos hop up and down,
In the air, on the ground.
Joeys hopping in the pouch
Mother keeping baby warm,
Like a woolly jumper in a storm.
In the wild or in the zoo,
I can feed them if I want to.
Reminds me of skipping with a rope.
I want kangaroos to be around
For ever and ever
Never stopping like the weather
