In the morning

In the morning

I woke up,

I got out of bed,

I slid my feet into my navy blue slippers,

I grabbed my dressing gown,

I went downstairs,

I reached up to the cupboard and took out a glass mug,

I switched on the kettle,

I pulled out the sugar,

Took off the lid,

I put two teaspoons of sugar in the mug,

I poured in the boiling water,

I dropped the teabag,

I fell,

I lay there until my son walked through the door,

Got down on his knees,

And cried.

Iona's poem

Iona is a monster.
My sister but a monster
Throwing toys - that's Iona
Kissing dolls - that's Iona
Waking up at four -that's Iona
Dancing like mad - that's Iona
Bath lover - that's Iona

I bet you're jealous because you don't have an Iona
I love you Iona
You're one in a million

Winter in Candy Land

Winter in Candy Land

A thick blanket of white sugar fell from the candy floss clouds
Weeping willow candy strips were coated in rainbow drop lights
Gingerbread children were covered in icing to keep warm
The lime lace grass was covered in the sugar snow

Winter was in Candy Land

by Niamh Midgley  6NB


My inspiration was Harriet Whitaker's poem Mother of Winter

Forgiveness

Forgiveness

Forgiveness is found in the relief of Noah's face as he gazes upon God's gift of a rainbow.

Forgiveness is found deep within God's wise words.

Forgiveness is found in the reprieve of a condemned prisoner as the judge grants him a pardon,

Forgiveness is found in the truth of a young child telling their mums their mistakes.

Forgiveness is found in the burying of the hatchet before the passing of the peace pipe.

Forgiveness is found in the human brain and the realisation of his or her mistakes.

Forgiveness is when anger leaves the heart to make room for love.

Forgiveness is found in five letters

Inspired by my cat Badger; Ode to a Cat

Ode to a Cat


O cat, you make my life complete,
You make my heart sing with glee.
I cannot live without thee.
O cat, I love thee,
You are a precious loving creature,
With a hunter's personality.
You are flexible and lovable,
Your eyes are a beautiful yellow colour.
You make me wonder how you ever came to be,
Came to be so wonderful,
You are mischievous and cunning.
You are
My best friend.

Inspired by autumn

Where will you go my spiky wee friend when the cold wind blows?
What will you eat?
Where will you sleep?
When the ground is white with snow?

Roll up tight and say goodnight
dream the cold away,
Wait till spring ,
in a prickly ball ,
for a warm and sunny day.

By Kitty and Lilly  5C

Le grand soleil jaune,

La fleur vive,

La glace froid,

Les sandales en or.

L’été est amusant!

The cold ice-cream,

The golden sandals,

Summer is fun!

The Collector

A wolf called this morning, dressed all in grey.

She took everything mistreated, home to stay.

She took sadness off kittens,

And took away the bad homes of puppies

And treated everyone to stay.

A hope of hers was to care each day,

For all the animals in dismay.

She despised that mean spice that bad people gave.

She wished that it would go down to the grave.

A wolf called this morning, she didn’t leave her name,

She left only silence and it made me see her pain.

Katharine Marshall, 3K

The Collector

A BFG called last night,

Dressed all in brown and white.

He put all our dreams into a bag,

And carried them away.

The dream of a unicorn.

The dream of a car.

The dream of working hard.

A BFG called last night,

Dressed all in brown and white.

He left us only silence.

Life will never be the same.

Constance Allen, 3K

The Sound Of Christmas

A stranger called this morning,

Dressed in black and grey,

Put every sound in a bag and carried them away.

The clanking of the dishes.

The talking on the telly.

The bang of a Christmas cracker.

The rustling of the wrapping paper.

The squeal of excitement when our presents are the best.

A stranger called this morning,

He didn’t leave his name.

He left his only silence.

Life will never be the same.

Isobel Smith, 3K

Sounds of Christmas

A stranger called this morning,

Dressed in black and grey,

Put every sound in a bag and carried them away.

The sizzling of the sausages.

The crash of the crackers.

The pop of the popcorn, whilst eating Christmas dinners.

The clink of the cups.

The scrape of the knife.

The jingle of the bells on the sleigh.

A stranger called this morning,

He didn’t leave his name.

He left his only silence.

Life will never be the same.

Francesca Taylor, 3K

The collector

A Fairy called this morning dressed all in black and grey put all our sound in a bag and carried them away.

The flapping of the wings,

The footsteps of the fairy,

The swishing of the wind,

The roaring of Isobel,

The shouting of the teachers.

The fairy called this morning didn’t leave his name, he left us only silence, 

Life will never be the same.

Ruby Abbatt, 3K

 

Inspired by our outdoor world

The Tree

 A tree is a giant with frizzy hair.

The tree’s best friend is a frizzy, wizzy bush, that just doesn’t care!

The tree’s skin is as tough as concrete.

When you see the sea waving its crazy hair id dancing to the sweet music,

Going like this and that,

Looking at its classy moves.

It just makes you want to join in!

Katharine Marshall, 3K

 The Autumn Dragon

The autumn dragon hibernates,

Til autumn is here:

And he wakes from his slumber.

As his feet pass in the squelchy grass.

As he steps inside the forest.

As he feels the rolling leaves.

It’s always like a gleam
When he sees the animals

His heart beats like the wave of a tree.

 Katharine Marshall, 3K

The Ditch of Doom

A ditch, the ditch,

Please don’t eat me

And please don’t close your walls on me.

Ouch!

Please stop crushing me.

Tsssss. 
Timber!

Thank you tree for saving me.

Bye ditch of doom.

Lennon McCartney, 3K

Remembrance

Wars are very important,

All of them in fact.

Run the bombs are falling!

Oh no! Here they come!

Now charge at them!

Everybody is safe. The war is over.

When it’s over, another comes.

And soldiers are fighting!

Run! People are shooting.

Two people are brave again!

When the bombs fall they explode.

Oh, finally the wars have finished.

Daniel Higgins, 3K

Daffodils

Dancing flower heads in the breeze,

As beautiful as the night sky.

With yellow petals, even white,

I would gaze in my delight.

Leia Britton, 3K

Daffodils

I slowly walked like the sun going round.

Soon I came to a peaceful sound of singing daffodils all around.

Amazing things came to me,

Blossoming like bluebells,

They gave me a fuss,

Like the bees going buzz!

Perfect movements as they dance,

Singing like Katy Perry,

But all at once.

That day they became my friend,

So beautiful, the eye in my head will never forget.

Katharine Marshall, 3K

#showthelove climate change

Here are some poems written by Year 6 pupils after some work on the issues around climate change.

Scary thoughts

The thought of the last hippo.

It’s all over the news,

Everyone’s mouth dropped.

Only one person has it.

We all come together to save this one last hippo.

How does that make you feel?

The thought of more plastic bags in the sea than fish.

It’s all over the news,

Everyone’s mouth dropped.

It’s there for everybody to see

Forever.

How does that make you feel?

The thought of the last snow leopard.

It’s all over the news,

Everyone’s mouth dropped.

It is kept safe in a zoo,

but still people try to sneak in to steal the skin of this incredible creature.

How does that make you feel?

Ashleigh Privett

I Hope

I hope,

I hope that,

That the water will live

Live through the harsh weather and waste

I hope,

I hope that,

That the animals will survive

Survive through the gas and oil throttling them

I hope,

I hope that

That the air will survive

Survive through the alcoholic gas

Thriving through it

I hope,

I hope that,

That the end never comes

Never comes to us

To our world

To our universe

If one humane human hopes

That one human will help

And once that person has helped

The next person will hope to help

Until the whole world hopes to help

Hope can change the world.

Kaia Daly

Time to change!

The end…

We saw it coming,

yet…

They did nothing.

We could have stopped it,

yet…

They did nothing.

Earth

She cried for help,

yet…

They did nothing,

They just carried on,

WASTING!

There were innocent children,

like me,

who did nothing wrong,

And then there was a generation

of greed,

waste,

and war.

Yet they did nothing.

And then,

There was a generation of

Kindness and love

They did their part,

But still we did nothing.

But now,

There is a new generation,

They can change,

This terrible, horrible future.

They did nothing,

But we,

We can put it right.

We can save her,

And change the future.
