Chem@rt Winners 2006
1st Prize
Sheaves of wheat
Sea of lava flowing over the pointed peaks of
Mars,
Hungry lions waiting to be fed.
Ghost like trees wave in a burning forest.
Ice pyramids in a twisted mind.
Dancing dogs boogie till sun down.
A waterfall of ice and lava on a summer’s
day,
Monster claws rake in the rushing blood.
An angry fire crackles like a volcano.
The ice cold spring flows in a calm village,
Deep dark holes of broken bones
Glimmer.
Esme, Year 5 Chalford Primary School
2nd Prize
Golden Rule
This is the story of an extraordinary ruler, two
talking birds and me. My name is Dixie. In a way, my
adventure was good, but it was my fault. It all started
in the attic at my house, when my best friend Margo
came over…….
“Dixie?” Margo called.
“What?” I asked impatiently, telling
myself Margo was just trying to waste time.
“Dixie!” It sounded pretty urgent this
time.
“Margo, stop calling my name, I’m getting
annoyed!” I said crossly. Margo ignored me and
carried on talking, babbling nonsense.
“Look at this!” she gabbled finally.
“I’m not falling for that one.” I
replied, but gave up my search through old crates to
turn round and look at her.
“C’mom Dixie, please look!” Margo
gestured to a wide, flat box.
“What’s so exciting?” I
wondered.
“Read what it says!” Margo pushed me
towards the box. I read it.
“Wow!” was all I said.

3rd Prize
Autumn leaves
Egyptian pyramids sparkle like Aztec gold,
Glistening diamonds fill the air with
expense,
Pointed party hats look like ice caves,
Shark infested water surrounds the mountain
peaks,
Metallic paper swerves into an ice-cream
cone
Like a snake coiling round its prey.
Crystals turn up-side down like birds digging into
the
Ground to find worms,
Children peer into the kaleidoscope and it looks
like a
Concertina.
Ripples dance round the mountains like
People in a music festival,
Lighthouse lights covered in jagged
Icicles curl round the rocks.
Zips are undone as the water flows out
of the sea in a spraying fountain.
Emily, Year 5 Chalford Primary School
4th Prize
Bad Air Day
Swirling like the Milky Way
How delicious it looks today
It could be a big red cabbage
Soft and juicy, full of roughage
Or even a dreamy tutti frutti
To eat it would be a happy duty
But take one big bite
And you would die tonight
Looks can be deceiving
This toxic mess would stop you breathing
I wonder what I will see tomorrow
Lets hope it will be no more sorrow.
Naomi, Year 6 High Down Junior School
