Poetry at the top end of the school

As you will see, from the Year 5 & 6 blog, children in the upper part of the school are being inspired to write war-themed poetry. 

The following is Oscar's fantastic piece of homework:

The trenches are dirty

The trenches are wet

The trenches are our homes

Covering our silhouette.

Violets are blue

Poppies are red -

Representing the blood

that we shed;

We wear our poppies

with love and respect

We will never forget

We must never forget.

Leaving our families

Holding hands with our future;

Bravely marching, we the British warriors

We will never forget

We must never forget.

The oceans of poppies,

Blood and sweat

We must never forget

Please don't forget.

To commemorate Remembrance Day we will be having a visitor from the British Legion in to talk in assembly.  Oscar will perform his poem to the school at this time.
