Our Brent Geese Poems
Our poems were published in the April edition of Wild Ireland Magazine. We hope you enjoy reading them. |
The Brent Geese started coming to our school on the 17th of January 2001. They visited almost every morning for about two weeks. We were excited and amazed that such huge flocks visited us to eat the grass in our playground. |
We took all the photos with our new Sony Mavica digital camera from the window of our classroom. |
This
is the information we found out about Brent Geese.
We found out that Brent geese eat grass.
The Brent Geese come from Canada and Greenland in winter and
return in late spring to lay eggs.
Brent Geese come in big flocks.
Brent geese are very noisy birds and make a honking noise that
sounds like "rronk".
The Brent Geese do not fly in a v-shaped formation.
They fly in large groups. They make honking noises flying and on
the ground. It is a small dark goose.
It is rarely found away from the coast and nearby farmland. |

I saw some geese Up
in the sky They
kept on chattering I
wonder why About
something I
wonder what They
were gossiping An
awful lot Cocoa
coloured Wings
were spread Eating
grass They
soon were fed By Robyn |
I turned around And what did I see A great big goose Honking
at me He
was very thin And
very loud His
feet were flat And
he was very proud By Lisa

Chocolate Chestnut colour Honking Rattling Whirring noise Long wings Flat beaks Grass eaters That's the brent geese by Karen

The noise of the geese with their honking rattling whirring and chattering Always annoys me. by Karen |
I
saw some geese High
in the sky They
were beautiful I
felt tingly inside Cocoa
coloured On
the breast Honking
When
they came to rest Wings
so long Straight
like a line I
never knew Geese
were so fine By Rita |

I saw some brent geese Flying high in the sky To say they weren't beautiful Would be a huge lie Cocoa coloured With speckles on their back Wings so long Beaks so flat by Jennifer |
I saw the chattering Noisy geese They're huge and brown And have flat beaks They flew up Into the cloudy sky I looked out the window As they went by by Grace |
