Creative articles @ DKS

Children were shown a video on Bio-Diversity. They were made into two groups and each group was asked to write or draw different articles using 5 different names from nature. The names were given by the other group as a challenge. Here are some poems written by the children:

BLADDER WORT

What a wonder the bladderwort is,

Beautifully colored, a trap it is

It is attractive when you look at it

But when an insect comes and sits

It is no more good,

Its Bladders trap the insect

As it is its food.

AMOEBA

So small and shapeless,

The space it occupies is so less

Organism with one cell,

A name difficult to spell

Occupies space

And has no face,

It is a bacteria,

Which causes diarrhea,

Takes in food in a unique way,

Doesn’t have a word to say

It is found everywhere,

Can’t be seen anywhere

Try to observe it with a lens

It looks immense

Now you know about this creature

Which will be taught by a teacher.

EARTH

I was born with a rock in my head,

My grandfather the sun, said the moon was my friend

My grandfather sends me light as a gift

My body is filled with oceans and land

I keep working day and night

I may look cool from out, but too hot in,

Guess who am I ?

I am the Earth.
