What is Red
My pen is red
The same as my box
There are Red pages
The colour of joy
The colour of my pencil case
I take sweets
Out of the red celebration's box
There are feet on the wall
Of the colour Red
I write with my special Red pencil
And when I'm stuck
A Red dictionary comes in handy
I have a Red book
The same colour as my jersey
And sometimes I paint
The colour of this poem

What people say
Did you do your homework?
How did school go today?
Did you eat all your dinner?
How did you do in the test?
Brilliant score in the test.
Well done!
Did you eat all the lunch?
Any news today?
Go out and bring the dog for a walk
Did you collect the eggs?
Go get a shower
Brush your hair
Brush your teeth
Have a drink of milk
Go to bed

Red
Red is the colour of blood and maybe a ball
My house is painted red
My nail varnish and eye shadow
Mrs.Moore's cardigan and the witche's gums
Sometimes the teacher has a red celebration box
My clothes and a vampire stick
My mam wears red lipstick and I love lovehearts
My red couch
I have a shower with a red towel
I hate red strawberry jam
My sister had red lemonade yesterday
Patrick has a red pencil case
I got a bad sunburn
My mam bought me a red jacket and shoes
Apples are sweet
I hate tomatoes
I love the red spirit of christmas

What is blue?
The sky is blue
On a warm day.
We use blue pens On blue paper sometimes.
The jumper I wear and hair bands too
All mix together when I like too.
My bed and curtains match as well
Blue paint on the walls dark and light
Are beautiful in daylight.
Blue balloons at a party
As blue eyes stare and care
When people hurt and are scared.
When I open my eyes
And open the curtains
Blue flowers in a pot
On the window ledge.
I go to school every day.
I see people with their blue bags and coming out of blue cars.
Blue is a colour in the rainbow
Where the leprechaun's live.
And where he stores his pot of gold.

RED
Red is the colour of blood
And a slipper
And the colour of my house
It's the colour of love
And very very nice
And the colour of a meteor
It's very shiny
And a pen
And santa's coat
It's the colour of my cheek
And my laptop
And a rose
It's the colour of a hairband
And some shoes
Gavin kelly
RED
Red is the colour of rosy cheeks
Red is the colour of roses
Liverpool and Manu are red
Curtians can be red too
Red is the colour of sunburn and a pretty sunset
Red is the colour of my pencil case
It's the colour of my lips aswell
Ferrarri cars can be red
Lemonade and ripe apples are red
It's the colour of my coat and my shoes
And the colour of my pen
It's a sign of danger
My strawberry jam
Red is the colour of a ladybird
And ketchup on my chips
Michelle's guitar is red
And the X in X factor
Rudolph's nose and Santa's clothes
Sophie Ryan
What people say?
At home I hear
Tidy your room
Get into the bath
Do as you're told
Don't make me argue with you
Go practise the guitar
Go do your chores
Do your homework now
How did your test go?
Don't be fooling around.
Did you win the final?
Bring the dog for a walk
How was school today?
We're not getting a goldfish
Make sure you wash your hands before you eat your dinner
Brush your hair
Brush your teeth
Make your bed
Bring in the washing off the line
Go feed the dog
Go to bed
Set the table
Be a good child
Read that book now
Dont think about been cheeky to me
Wear your coat if you're going out on the green
Do you have much homework today?
How was Maths today was it easy or hard today?

What is Green?
Green boards are green
And my pencil
Shrek the Ogre
And bars on the table and chair
The pen I'm writing with
The pack with the books I read

Plus the grass

And my school bag

Green books
Boxes are green
Maybe some hedges
And someone's bottle
An Ireland jersey
Maybe a ballon too
Green is the coulor of a green flag
