Food, Glorious Food! 4th Graders Serve Up Scrumptious Poems at Harvest International School, Bangalore
If walls could talk, classroom walls would probably whisper secrets. But when Reshma visited the 4th graders (PYP-4) of Harvest International School for an interactive poetry session in September, those walls—or rather, sticky notes!—started singing songs about the ultimate universal language: food!
Forget rigid rules and boring rhymes. These young wordsmiths poured their hearts (and their biggest cravings) into writing short, delightful ode-poems dedicated to their absolute favorite treats. From ultra-cheesy snacks to ice-cold refreshers, let’s take a peek at what happens when imagination meets appetite!
The Oreo Milkshake Magic
By Shreyas, Aadya, Ahilan, Ved, and Vivansh
Oreo milkshake, Oreo milkshake,
Why are you so yummy?
You fill my tummy,
You make me ask for another serving!
We completely agree with this team—can anyone ever stop at just one glass?
A Cheesy Love Affair
By Maira (PYP-4)
Cheese! Cheese!
Why are you so cheesy?
So many different types.
So many different shapes.
Can’t stop eating cheese choesy.
Maira captures the true essence of life: there is a cheese for every mood, shape, and moment!
A Refreshing Shoutout to Lemonade
Anonymous Young Poet
Dear Lemonade, Dear lemonade,
Does everyone like you?
Yes we dooo!
Why are you so tasty and sweet and we gulp and love you?
You make me too ask more and more…
Nothing beats the tangy, sweet punch of a good glass of lemonade after a long school day.
