ORANGE

A freezing ice pop,

Nemo swimming in the sea,

Pumpkins at Halloween,

The sweet taste of Skittles,

The crunch of a raw carrot,

A sunset, burning in the sky,

The skuttle of the crabs on the rocks,

And a juicy satsuma, sticky and sweet.

Amber

Amber is leaves falling from the autumn trees,

A cat’s glowing eyes in the shadows,

Maple syrup running down the edge of my plate,

A blazing fire burning log after log,

The sun on the hottest day of year,

The feeling of walking back into your house on a cold winter day,

A whiff of the freshly baked gingerbread,

The sound of crispy fluttering leaves in the breeze,

A mouthful of a fluffy pancake covered in honey,

The sight of a woodland fox’s ruffled fur against the gentle wind.

Emotions

Excitement is a bright pink,

Happiness is a breezy yellow,

Fear is a worried purple,

Sadness is a dramatic blue,

Courage is a delighted orange,

Anger is a fiery red,

Disgust is an ugly green,

Anxiety is a shiny turquoise,

Pride is a beaming yellow,

Surprise is a vibrant purple,

Trust is a deep blue,

Love is a pretty pink,

Emotions are a rainbow.

Purple

The lilac tree in my front garden,

My mum’s chopping board,

My old buggy that’s now my sisters,

My daddy’s fluffy jumper,

My wiggly mermaid pen,

Juicy plums rattling in the trees,

Soft like my scarf,

A sour sugary sweet,

A bunch of lavender,

The icing on my birthday cake!

Blue

Blue is the sky on a summer’s day,

The bluebells in a calm forest,

The sweet blueberries,

The shimmering ocean,

The dolphins jumping out of the waves,

The uniform for Skyswood School,

The taste of blackberries,

The sound of waves crashing down onto the shore,

The smell of sweet irises,

The feel of soft bluebirds.

Green

Green is ivy twining itself around fences,

The three-leafed clover in the grass,

The leaves rustling in the wind,

Peas boiling in a pan,

Bamboo being munched on by pandas,

Lily pads floating gently on the pond water,

The taste of hot broccoli,

The sound of the eclectus parrots squawking in the tree tops,

The smell of Brussels sprouts being cooked on Christmas Day,

The feel of a soft moss-covered wall.
