Winning Poem by Julius (Indigo)

FREEDOM

Free us, Free us, Free us,

Free us, Free us, Free us

Let us live as our wish

Let us lead the way we need

Give us the scope to fly so high

Give us the way to reach so high

Let us be part of the game

Though we lose or though we gain

Let us show our height and weight

Give us the chance to read and write

Give us the chance to know and think

Let us be with you

Let us be along with you 

Give us a chance to sing and dance

Give us a chance to spring and blossom

Let us be as great as you

Let us be equal to you

Let us express our thoughts and feelings

Let us exhibit our talents and ideas

Free us, Free us, Free us

Free us, Free us, Free us

A fabulous poem!

Winning Poem by Emeka (Amethyst)

FREEDOM

Freedom the scorching light of the sun

But if I stay they'll find me like a burnt bun

I have to run, I have to run

Nowhere to have any fun

They catch me, they kill me

Fear not for they will not see

The traps are only trouble

I want to fly away in a small little bubble

Fantastic adventures await me on my steed

The perfect match of velocity and speed

The calm rolled out seas

The summer sets out its bees

I have not long in this paradise

This is a game of cat and mice

Is it all how it seemed

no it was all a dream

Great use of vocabulary. An intriguing poem.
Well done!

Winning Poem by Robert (Sapphire)

FREEDOM

Freedom is going outside,
flowing free like a river 
into the sea.

Freedom is running through a field.
Freedom is flying through the sky like a 
beautiful Eagle.

Excellent Poem

Well done!

Winning Poem by Thomas (Green)

FREEDOM

I love freedom it makes me so alive. 

It's so lovely it makes me burst with pride.

A man who fought for freedom his name was 

Martin Luther King.

He was a man who had a dream. 

Freedom is an everlasting hope that once reached

cannot be taken away.

I hope that we can all live in peace and harmony and 

enjoy freedom one day.


Beautiful thoughtful poem.
Well done!

Winning Poem by Isabella (Emerald)

FREEDOM

Freedom should give you a more joyful life

when you could do whatever you like.

If I had the chance to do whatever I wanted to 

I would visit the Statue of Liberty

with my friends of different nationalities and when we arrived we would drink lemonade to celebrate the day.

To celebrate Freedom!

A lovely thoughtful poem.
Well done!

Winning Poem by Giselle (Blue Class) 

FREEDOM

Freedom is
Running in big fields
Exploring everywhere
Educating yourself
Doing what you love
Opening your eyes to the world
Making your dreams come true.






What a lovely poem and really well presented.

Well done!
