Snow White - Cinquain

By Carmel and Katie, 10

In woods,
Snow white got lost,
The queen wanted her dead,
The hunter could not kill snow white,
She ran.

Queen mad,
Mirror on wall,
Bad queen smashed the mirror,
But Snow White was fairest of all,
She skipped.

Dwarfs' house,
Snow white goes in,
Dwarfs come back from their work,
They are very surprised at her,
And scared,

They ask,
Why she is there,
She tells them what happened,
Queen is still very mad at her,
Bad luck.

One day,
She gets poisoned,
With the apple she ate,
The dwarfs are sad and unhappy,
Sad time.

Prince comes,
He sees snow white,
He gives her a kiss,
Then magically she wakes up,
The end.

Three little pigs - cinquain

By Bethany and Kelly, 11 and 10

One day
One little pig
Came walking down the road
The pig looked for sticks for his house
To build.

Next day
Another pig
To build his house safe from the wolf
He built.

Next came
The smallest pig
Looking places for bricks
Then he began to build his house
All done.

Later
A big bad wolf
Blew the house os sticks down
The pig ran into the house of straw
frightend.

Straw house
Suddenly droped
They ran to the next house
The wolf could not blow the bricks down
All safe.

By Ashleigh & Beth, 10 & 11

Princess,
Asleep in cot,
While faries cast their spells,
Suddenly a evil witch appears,
BANG CRASH.

Baby,
Pricks her finger
On her sixteenth birthday,
Falls asleep for one hundred years,
oh no.

Prince comes
And breaks the spell,
Dragon comes prince kills it,
Prince fights through bushes of hawthorns,
Hero.
