A Kenning

I am …

A boat-wrecker
Moon-servant
Dangerous-liquid
Fishing-palace
Puddle-maker
Colour-changer
Under-water maker

Rock-crasher
Pebble-collector
Fish-maker
Tide-crasher
Coral-maker
Noise-maker
So cold and so wet
I am…
The sea.

By The Year 5 Write Team

Creative Writing Workshops

20 children in Year 5 have joined The Write Team Project run by Bath Festivals. Every Thursday morning they will work with Emma Metcalfe and a variety of different writers. This term they are enjoying looking poetry and writing their own.


Here is some poetry based on Historical Objects that they have written:

A Lancaster
By Joshua
I can see all the big grey bombs dropping like mad
I can hear the bombs drop and explodge
Again and again
I can feel the cold air and warmth against me.
I wish that England would win the war.
My friends are my engine and the engineer.


A Roman Helmet
By Ben
I can see all kinds of sweaty hair under me,
I can see the Roman Baths right ahead.
I can hear Romans shouting at war,
and jumping into the baths.
I can feel gold metal and smooth hair.


Henry VIII’s Crown
By Nancy
I can see lovely ladies sitting near me,
I can see people staring at me.
I can hear people say I am beautiful,
I can hear screaming coming from outside.
I can feel cosy pillows,
I can feel cuddly soft hair.
I wish I could speak,
I wish I was alive.


A Spitfire
By Thomas
I can see German cities set on fire
I can see flames lighting up
I can see bullets going everywhere.
I can hear loud, wailing sirens,
I can hear people screaming.
I can feel the air rushing past me,
I can feel bullets zinging close by.
