NATIONAL POETRY DAY

NATIONAL POETRY DAY COMPETITION

We had our own poetry competition to celebrate. 

Children in Years 1 to 6 wrote poetry on the National Poetry Day theme of ‘TRUTH’. 

The best poems were selected and awarded book vouchers for our Book Fair.

Well done to the winners!

Take a moment to read these fabulous poems!

TRUTH

We are now going down

We need to act right now

We are affected by a flood

If we don’t act now we will be dripping blood

200 species die out every day

Soon we will come to May

Then we will have to pay

This is our only choice

Greta Thunberg is the voice.

Sara – Emerald Class

TRUTH

What is Truth?

Is truth like maths,

Where every sum has a right answer?

No.

Truth is like the weather,

One moment you think it’s something,

But then it changes.

Truth is like a turtle,

So old and wise,

It probably knows more than we can imagine.

Truth is like the night sky,

With as many stars as ideas

That people think are true.

Truth is like the planets,

With so many secrets to be discovered,

Who know what could be there…

Truth is like a rainbow,

Some people believe there is a pot of gold at the end...,

But to tell the truth, I don’t know where I’m going with this verse!

So, truth…

It can be such a difficult thing to get along with –

It can be sad or uplifting,

Upsetting or exciting,

Scary or happy!

Truth is such a mysterious thing,

But remember, as the Bible says:

“The Truth will set us free”.

Eleanor – Tanzanite Class 

TRUTH

Truth is being happy

Truth is being brave

Truth is sometimes easy

Truth is sometimes hard

Truth is best

Truth is secret

Truth can be fun.

Emile – Diamond Class 

Truth

I'll tell the truth 

If you don't shout

And promise not to kick me out

Or lecture me

Or ask me Why

Or breathe a big and heavy sigh.

I'll tell the truth

But don't get mad

And pretty please don't tell my dad

Just promise not to scream or cry

And this time I won't tell a lie.

Dillon – Indigo Class

Earth's Truth

Climate change how big or small.

Our World is in a great big fall.

Us children let's play our role!

No matter how short.

No matter how tall.

Turn off the TV for us all.

We can't hear earth's call.

Now stop going to the mall.

Us children let's play our role!

Elena – Green Class
