Year 6

While learning at home, Year 6 has been learning about different types of poems and having a go at writing some of our very own. 

Please enjoy this small selection from some of our Year 6 poets!

My Mum by Georgina Brimson

She's as hardworking as a busy bee,

She's as bright and happy as the sun, 

She gives hugs like a big brown bear, 

She's as sly and sneaky as a fox,

She's as fashionable as the people in the magazines,

She's as cheerful as a cheerleader,

She is my mum and I love her.

A Boy Named Dan by Laura Ray

There once was a boy named Dan, 

Who was not a magpie fan.

He ran through the park wailing,

With a cranky magpie tailing,

It’s no wonder Dan is not a fan! 

The Man from Berlin by Finn Garland

There was a young man from Berlin,

Who loved all food from a tin.

From spaghetti to spam,

All foods in a can,

Were loved by the man from Berlin.

Trucks by James Cooper

Oh, trucks!

You are the coolest transport. 

Paint as cool as Tom Roberts paintings.

A rev of happiness in my heart.

My mouth drops when you change gears, 

You warm my heart with every wheel spin

Oh, how much I love you dearly. 

Doughnuts by Mackenzie Lister

Oh donuts!

You are my favourite of all food!

As perfect as a rose,

An explosion of flavours in my mouth,

My heart sings with every bite,

Making my mood lift up,

I really love you!

Mango Pickle by Ayaan Mohammed

Oh! The bitter taste of mango pickle.

It’s rough as the moon,

A bitter ball on my tongue,

My tongue growls at every bite,

Oh, how I hate you.

The Brolly by Rachel Ranby

I bought a new umbrella,

It really is the best.

It looks like it might rain today

So I'll put it to the test.

I step out with a hop, and a jump,

Admiring its sleek design,

Its wooden handle and silk canopy-

I can hardly believe it's mine.

It’s not a $2 one,

Not a piece of junk,

It’s not a telescoping one,

But it’s full of soul and funk.

The handle made of wood

Is smooth and hooked and fine

It shows a lot of craftsmanship

Oh, I’m really glad it’s mine.

And now it starts to rain

So the canopy I extend.

Under I am safe and dry

On my brolly I depend.

Its rainbow-coloured canopy 

brightens the grey day.

People are admiring it -

Everyone’s looking my way.

The wind whips up,

A storm has really set,

But my gorgeous brolly

Hasn’t failed me yet.

But then a great gust

Pulls the brolly from my hand!

And it’s sailing skyward now

I’m scared where it will land!

The brolly twists and turns

Whilst flying through the air,

Then it falls back down to earth

And lands on a chair.

I run across the busy road,

Sliding on the wet ground,

I make it to the chair -

So glad my brolly’s found!

No More by Noah Stirton 

Wash, wash, wash your hands,

Fifty times a day.

If we keep the germs away 

Then at school we’ll stay.

Keep, keep, keep your space, 

Especially when we play.

Social distancing is what we do 

1.5 away.

Teach, teach, teach us please,

The old fashioned way.

No more screens,

No more phones,

No more Zoom today!
