Have a read of our terrific poems about the stars. We have used images from the Hubble telescope as inspiration and worked on finding our own personal voice in our writing - as well as using poetic conventions. Can you spot our metaphors, similies and alliteration?

Poems
Sparkling space stars,
Twinkling in the big night sky.
A glimmering, shiny
diamond
Racing across the glittering galaxy
Sounds beat like a drum but nobody can hear them.

Harris, Callum Thompson,

Stars in the night
sky
That
twinkle
A shimmering,
beautiful galaxy
Flying acRross the diamond sky
Sparkling hot stars
By Aidan Harris and Cameron Donald
Shimmer shimmer through the sky
Talking stars for
you and I
A star can travel through the night
Racing stars can be red and white
Shimmer shimmer through the sky,
Talking stars
for you and I.
(to be sung to the tune of Twinkle Twinkle)

Little Fireflies
Stars, stars, up so high
Shining brightly upon me.
When its dark
They are my nightlight,
Lighting up the world.
Made of gas,
Different colours and shapes,
White dwarves, red giants, rainbow
nebulas
Like a crowd of little fireflies
sparkling.
They’re big, small and rainbow
All very different.
Nothing is like a star.
By Mackenzie Swindells
Stars
What is something, sparkly, shiny and bright?
A Star!
Glowing in the velvet sky.
What’s that I see?
A shooting star
Leaving glittery sparks behind.
I make a wish
To fly and see a red giant
Twinkling stars above me
Lighting up the world,
I see everything around me,
Including…
A comet and a star burst.
What is happening?
I’m flying to the Pillars of Creation
They look so pretty
In the peace around me.
Most stars are colourful - shimmery and bold
But no star is like any other.
I see a neutron star
Like a nuclear explosion
As I fly down to Earth,
I see the Ring Nebula
It is like a circular rainbow
Standing as still as a statue.
When I am back on the green grass,
I look up and see the Winter Stars
Like tiny fireflies
The stars begin to fade away,
In the sun’s giant rays
In space, where the other galaxies live
They are still vibrating and shining brightly
But,
I always know they are there.
By Kaija Fouhy
Twinkling Stars
Twinkly, glittery,
The stars in the sky sparkle.
Suddenly I see a shooting star and make a wish
To go to space.
I see a red star
I wonder what it is?
As I look up I hear my Mum calling me to come in
Time to hop into bed.
By Grace Connor
Nighttime
Stars
The time is night
The stars are shimmering in the air.
They look like they are right there by the window –
But actually,
They are far far away.
You can’t see them all the time but,
They’re always there.
They fade away because of the sun
Strangely,
Because the sun is a star too!
Oh, how bright they are!
Some shimmer,
Some shine,
Some sparkle,
Stars.
