We decided to celebrate National Poetry Day this week as it fell during Healthy Eating last week. Miss Sadler and Miss Dockerill put on a great show for assembly on Tuesday, encouraging the girls to play poetry games. Mr Laouira scared Year 5 and me with his ‘shouty’ poem; he never shouts so I thought something had gone really wrong... and so did Year 5!

Here are some examples of poems which the girls have written this week.

I am who I am

I am my father who takes me on super cool adventures, 

and never lets me be sad.

 

  I am my mother who makes me happy with whatever she does, 

and knows when I need help and support.                                     

                                

  I am my brother that annoys me everyday,

and who won't leave me alone.

 

I am my great grandmother that always makes me nice desserts, 

and that likes to cook our food for Christmas.

 

I am my best friend Isabella that plays with me at school,

and when we get back home calls me to play games.

 

I am Mr. Laouira that teaches me everyday,

 and helps me if I am stuck on something.

 

I am my dog Cacau that gets really excited when I come back from school

and my cat Pinky that goes to my bedroom every night and kisses me.

 

I am a future architect that will draw people's dream houses,

 and make their dreams come true.

 

I am the great opportunity that my family got so we could move to England and now we have amazing memories and we will be forever thankful. 

 

I am me and I don't want to change

I love being me!

 - Alicia, Year 6

 

I am who I am

I am my father who saves the day,

and who cures me when I am sad.

 

I am my mother, who helps me with my homework,

and who explains things over and over again until I understand.

 

I am my brother George who tucks me into bed at night,

and will always be on my side no matter what.

 

I am my teachers and everything they have taught me, 

and sometimes they even turn my brain to mush.

 

I am my dance teacher who gives me cool moves to work on,

and to practice.

 

I am my gymnastics coach, 

who helps me work on my flexibility and strength.

 

I am all my friends,

 who will always stick with me through thick and thin.

 

I am my dog who wakes me up in the morning,

and gives me cuddles when I need them.

 

I am all these people and more.

 

These are the memories that I have made,

and there are so much more for me to make.

 

I will become a famous actress who will win an oscar,

and walk the red carpet.

 

I will become the teacher,

who will teach children everything they need to know.

 

I am me and nobody else,

and no one can stop me from being myself.

- Phoebe, Year 6
 

Next week we look forward to lots more learning and our parent meeting ‘Meets’ with you about your daughter’s journey so far this term.

 I hope you all have a wonderful weekend.
