#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?

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.

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.
