National Poetry Day!

7th Oct 2019

We celebrated National Poetry Day on 3rd October, with our whole school poetry jam. All the children took part in the fun.

We had some special poems written by our own Christ Church Poets.

Devastation Rylee Broad Year 6 

It was a dark, wet and rainy night

No happiness, no hope in sight

The shocking things I’ve done with a gun

Things, bad things that can’t be undone

The deafening bombs and guns fill the air above

There’s nothing to like, nothing to love

With these uniforms no wonder everyone’s dead

With boots and helmets made of lead

In the cold and dark I miss home

Where everyone’s dead and I’m alone

It was a dark, wet and rainy night

No happiness, no hope in sight

We also had a special message from Captain Mad John Flint. Who told us all about our exciting poetry competition. It must be a poem about the season of Winter and entries need to be given to your class teacher by 7th November. Please listen to his broadcast to find out some more!
