Primary 4 awarded pieces* (2nd place, 3rd place and merits)
Seasons SECOND PLACE
Tim Wang 4B
It is winter, cold and dark.
Trees are bare, animals are asleep.
Snow falls, days become short.
The hardest season to survive!
Next comes spring.
New leaves grow, birds are singing.
Flowers blossom, animals awake.
It’s the time for new life.
Now the summer, best season of all.
Days are long and its time to play.
Swim in the pool, picnic in the park.
Never ending joy and fun.
Autumn arrives quietly.
Leaves turn red, yellow and brown.
Birds fly away, sun sets earlier.
Time to prepare for winter.
Winter strikes back.
Let’s go ski and visit the North Pole.
Say “hi” to Santa and celebrate Christmas.
Happy New Year to you all.
Cherish the spring, enjoy the summer.
Love the autumn and celebrate the winter.
The season changes but always returns.
Nature is generous for giving us beautiful seasons!

The Four Seasons THIRD PLACE
Jasper Loi 4D
Spring is the key to the year,
since spring makes the cold disappear!
The people on earth will wake animals in caution,
so animals will come out from hibernation!
The flowers can grow, while the river will flow,
we can see a rainbow through the window!
Summer brings warmth for the plants and the creatures,
making the world look like an amazing sculpture!
People like us will have a breeze,
playing in the ocean right beside a beach!
Kids building sandpits, beach balls get hit
by someone like you who has an awesome grip!
When autumn comes, the world becomes windy,
while the weather is also getting breezy!
Tons of families go hiking
to see the view that is flattering!
We can fly a kite, with all our might,
leaves falling down after a windy night!
Winter brings snow to earth,
as our savior Jesus took birth!
Snowmen get built, snowballs get flung,
Christmas carols will get sung!
We can celebrate under the Christmas tree,
and hold fantastic parties!

Friendship MERIT
Jayden Ma 4A
Friendship is an unexplored world
Where anything can come true
There are many different paths
And the wrong one befalls you rue
Friendship is a piece of paper
Coming in many different forms
In each and every one of us
Differently does it perform
Friendship is a fiddle
May it be joyful or glum
Sometimes it’s as quiet as a whisper
Sometimes it’s as loud as a drum
Friendship is similar to the sun
Sometimes it’s right and others it’s not
But even if it has almost disappeared
I don’t think people have ever forgot
Friendship is a mystery
Its value for you to decide
But first let me remind you
It’s not to be thrown outside.

The Giant Box and I MERIT
Woody Yip 4B
One day, my friends and I went to a mountain to camp. Suddenly, something landed on the top of the hill, making the whole mountain shudder. But my friends acted like as though nothing happened, so I climbed up the hill to check.
When I reached the top, I saw a gigantic box sitting on some trees. When I touched the box, the lid mysteriously opened, and a beam of light appeared. The beam of light was controlling the lid! Before I could run away, the lid scooped me up and threw me inside the box.
When I got in, I saw a piece of paper nailed to the wall. It wrote,
To Mr. Mysterious Stranger
You are in a three-wishes box
which means you can get three wishes.
Wish properly, you can leave and your wish come true.
Wish for the bad and evil, you will be trapped forever.
A small hint: More than one wish needs to be helpful.
Last one can be personal.
If you want person things that money can buy,
You have made a wrong decision.
After reading, I thought, “Can I bring my grandmother back?”
In response, another piece of paper fell down. “No?”
Then I thought, “Yes! I know what to wish!” I said, loudly, “I wish that all hospitals in the world can have an unlimited source of “heal-everything” medicine to treat sick people!” The lid opened a little and the floor beneath me raised a little. “I want the whole world to have peace, never to battle again!” The lid opened more and the floor raised more. “I wish…um…eh… I wish that the whole world, including me, have a happy life!” The lid opened and the floor raised to the top. “Wishes Granted. Goodbye!” it said. The box exploded into a ball of light, and combined with the sun. I know that it was granting my wishes by light.

Season MERIT
Cyrus Ngan 4C
There are four seasons in a year,
lots of things to appear.
You have to change your outerwear,
so your mum won’t worry, I swear!
Spring has appeared,
snow has cleared.
Flowers are everywhere,
fresh smell is in the air.
Summer is blazing hot
like a big boiling pot.
People go to the sandy beach
where there are shells, one for each.
Autumn is dry,
red leaves fly.
Roads turn golden,
tree sticks are broken.
Winter is freezing cold,
the final season ever told.
Freezing wind is in the air,
makes everyone shiver on the chairs.
This year has gone,
another is born.
Spring, summer, autumn, winter,
it passes like a magical printer.

My Lovely Friend MERIT
Taurean Chan 4D
There’s a creature I love,
who goes with me wherever I go.
His eyes twinkle like the stars above,
he adores me as far as I know.
Every time, every day, he would not shove,
I throw, then he’ll run and go!
He wags his tail when he’s happy,
and he’s a great little fellow.
Thou he barks at me when he’s snappy,
so I shout at him as loud as a cello!
He calls me a bratty, but I love him so when he’s mellow.
His fur is a soft blanket,
he is a dashing dog.
When we play, we make such a racket,
he jumps everywhere like a frog!
And he wears a beautiful jacket,
That makes him look like a hog!
My friend is simply incredible,
he is with me in all seasons.
But do you know why he is so delectable?
What are the reasons?
Let me tell you the truth that’s quite terrible.
My friend is a TOY DOG!

The Giant Book and I MERIT
Ephrem Chong 4D
It was winter. On a freezing day, I went to the library to borrow some books. I like reading books very much. I always go to the library. I can read books from day to night. While I was walking, I saw a great tower. I walked around the tower to have a look. I found that it was stranger. It had no windows and no doors. I was curious and looked at the top of the building. I saw some words: The Typhoon Attack. I read the out. I realized that the tower in front of me was not a tower. It was a giant book! Suddenly, a beam of light struck me and I couldn’t open my eyes. I floated in the air for a few seconds and was sucked into the book at last.
I fell onto the ground and opened my eyes. I stood up and found myself standing outside a city. There was a door in front of me on which it wrote: Welcome to Seaside City. I opened it and I went in. Someone noticed me and asked me, “Are you a visitor? Do you need help?”
I said. “I want to find a house to live in. What is your name?”
“Then follow me to my house,” he said. “My name is James.” I followed him to his house. His house was made of wood. In the evening, he made me a hearty dinner.
That night, when I was sleeping, I heard blowing sounds. I opened my eyes and I had a frightening sight. Trees were rocking, leaves were flying everywhere, puddles were on the ground…I woke James. He was afraid too. “Oh no! A typhoon! What are we going to do? How are we going to escape?” he panicked.
I said, “I am going to help you.” All of a sudden my clothes changed. They became a hood and a pair of wings. I could fly! I flew up. I heard the typhoon howl, “Come and fight with me and see who will win!” I shouted, “I’ll take on your challenge!”
Then, I flew onto a tree. The typhoon blew towards me, roaring. I jumped into the air and the typhoon crumbled the tree. I stepped onto the typhoon’s head. The typhoon raised his hands to try to hit me. But I flew away so the typhoon hit its own head. “Ouch!” it shouted. I landed on the ground safely. It wanted to pounce on me, but I flew onto another tree.
Meanwhile, James was watching the fight from his house. He was amazed. Other residents of the city were also watching the fight between the typhoon and I.
The typhoon wanted to crash into me again. I flew away. The typhoon bumped its head into the tree. It started crying.
I felt sorry for the typhoon. But when I looked up, the typhoon had disappeared. All I could see was the sky, the sun and the clouds. I looked at my clothes. They were ordinary clothes. The hood and the wings had vanished. I looked at James. He looked back at me. We both smiled.
The next day was normal. Nothing special happened. But on the third day, my face appeared on the newspapers. I bought one to read. I was proud of myself. Just then, I noticed the typhoon flying out of the newspaper. I tried to escape, but failed. The typhoon sucked me into the newspaper…
When I landed, I found myself in front of the “Tower” – the giant book. I looked at my watch. It was the same time when I was sucked into the book. I walked around the tower. There was a door this time, on which it read: Welcome to Seaside Library. As I said, I like going to libraries. So, I went in. There, I found a book called “The Typhoon Attack”. The book was about a person became a hero, fought against a typhoon and saved a city. I grinned. Maybe the hero was me!
