The Yew Tree Feis tries to link in with the NI Curriculum, we have chosen the topic “Colours”. Creation of Poems and Art entries and poems for recitation are all based on this topic. No preparation is required by schools. Pupils should use their Public Speaking, Drama, Singing and Music from previous competitions and examinations. As this event has proved to be very popular and has been well supported in the past it is hoped that this year will be no exception. All primary school children are encouraged to participate especially those who have no previous performing experience. All parents, grandparents, friends etc. are welcome to attend. This booklet contains details and copies of poems, however information may be obtained from St Paul’s Primary School Ahoghill telephone 25871613, at www.crda-online.com or telephone 25871588 or 25878111. ALL COMPETITION ENTRIES £2. . P7 POEM WHAT IS RED Red is a sunset Blazy and bright. Red is feeling brave With all your might. Red is a sunburn Spot on your nose, Sometimes red Is a red, red rose. Red squiggles out When you cut your hand. Red is a brick and A rubber band. Red is a hotness You get inside When you’re embarrassed And want to hide. Fire-cracker, fire-engine Fire-flicker red — And when you’re angry Red runs through your head. Red is an Indian, A Valentine heart, The trimming on A circus cart. Red is a lipstick, Red is a shout, Red is a signal That says: “Watch out!” Red is a great big Rubber ball. Red is the giant-est Color of all. Red is a show-off No doubt about it— But can you imagine Living without it? MARY O’NEILL P5&6 POEM THE PAINTING LESSON ‘What’s THAT, dear?’ asked the new teacher. ‘It’s Mummy,’ I replied. ‘But mums aren’t green and orange! You really haven’t TRIED. You don’t just paint in SPLODGES — You’re old enough to know You need to THINK before you work … Now — have another go.’ She helped me draw two arms and legs, A face with sickly smile, A rounded body, dark brown hair, A hat — and, in a while, She stood back (with her face bright pink): ‘That’s SO much better — don’t you think?’ But she turned white At ten to three When an orange-green blob Collected me.
