Moss crawls up bumpy, old trees.<\/em>
Trees are like people.<\/em>
They\u2019re all different.<\/em>
Their roots twirl up and down,<\/em>
Like snakes slithering home.<\/em>
They rise majestically above my head<\/em>
Like giants<\/em>
Looking after everything.<\/em>

Ali, Year 5<\/p>\n\n\n\nWhistle Bird<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
As you fly<\/em>
What does it feel like?<\/em>
I could only imagine<\/em>
All the freedom in the world<\/em>
All the happiness in the world.<\/em><\/em>
Coren, Year 6<\/p>\n\n\n\nBirds<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
It seems to open its mind to the idea of flight.<\/em>
As it falls it flaps its wings and then rises into the air<\/em>
Again and again.<\/em>
<\/em>
Or how the edge of a cliff seems like the edge of our world<\/em>
We change our ways around the cliff because<\/em>
We cannot remove it,<\/em>
Ever standing and immovable.<\/em>
