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

Thunberg is the voice.

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
