Pirates
St Margarets Co-Educational English Secondary and Primary School, Ho, Ching Lam - 7
Pirates ordered by King,
In the rainy, windy and stormy days.
Ran to adventure to find medicine.
And they were bitten by crocodiles.
Travelled to the USA. India and Asia.
East and South, everywhere!
Sail in the sea for days and nights.
On the Seas
St Margarets Co-Educational English Secondary and Primary School, Hung, Emmie – 7
Here I am smelling salty water.
Sailing days and months across white ocean.
Here I am dressed in old white
rags sweeping the deck.
All day long.
Brave soldiers fighting the
mean and scary pirates.
Guarding the hidden gold and silk
Exchanging for medicine.
All I wish is to be at home.
Safe and sound.
First Time on a Boat
St Margarets Co-Educational English Secondary and Primary School, Kwan, Lauren - 7
A long time ago in China.
Zheng designed giant ships – 90 metres long.
A thousand people on a ship.
Sounds like thunder.
Smells like salty water.
Travel around to the world to give presents.
Very loud.
Very Scary.
Very noisy.
Lucky we had friends.
Stormy.
Dark.
Rainy in the night.
Sailing with others.
No need to worry I thought.
Sail together to give presents.
To make friends.
