OUR STAGE 2 ENGLISH STUDENTS HAVE BEEN WRITING POEMS.  HERE IS A SELECTION OF OUR FAVOURITES

There once was a hairy cat

Who wanted to chase a rat

But he only lay on his mat

Because he was too fat!

                by Amy Keech at Chester-le-Street

There was a cat called Mitten

Who was a very furry kitten

On the window sill she was sitting

With a toy mouse she was hitting

                by Erica Shaw at Chester-le-Street

There was a boy called Andy

Who had a friend called Sandy.

They liked to play footy

Because they were both nutty.

There was a boy called Pandy

Who liked to drink shandy.

On Saturdays he ate candy

But on Sundays he drank brandy.

                  by Reece Page at Chester-le-Street

My best friend is Shaun the Sheep

He really likes to leap.

When I go to sleep

He likes to peep

Sometimes he is a creep.

                by Lucia Castro at Lanchester

A character called Ryan

He did not stop lying.

Ryan was often sighing

Because he could not stop lying

                by Ryan Page  at Chester-le-Street
