Poetry Week

Poetry Week with Conrad - February 2018

Rosebank celebrated Poetry week in order to inspire children to write and perform poetry. During this week, Rosebank was visited by the Creative Writer and Poet, Conrad Burdekin. Conrad and the children worked together to create a poem for each class. The children performed their poetry to the rest of the school with great enthusiasm and expression. Below is a sample of their great work;

I want to be an Inventor

I want to be an inventor

Exactly like my dad

His lab is in the garden shed

My mum says he is mad

I'll need some nerdy knowledge

And some crazy hair

Gorgeous, goofy goggles

A thousand pounds a pair

Don't forget the experiments

With chemicals that stink

Mixing lots of potions

In the kitchen sink!

I must increase my brain size

Until it fills my head

But not until tomorrow

I have to go to bed!

How to find a friend

If you want a friend

This is what you do

Ask another boy or girl

To come and play with you

Do some hula hooping

Have a running race

Share some chocolate with your friend

In your happy place

Make sure that you're nice

Make sure that you're kind

Make sure that you're helpful

A friend is what you'll find!
