  Congratulations everyone!  Here is a copy of Niamh's poem which made us all proud to be part of the Oldcastle Team.

   

  My friend was standing next to me,

  it was my turn on the stage

  I'm a poet don't you know it

  and I'm quite good at it for my age!

  I'm actually quite nervous and I'm really going to try

  hopefully to make YOU laugh

  and me try not to cry!

   

  We have a great headmaster

  Mr Thompson, he runs the school

  He rides a big flash motorbike

  I suppose he is quite cool!

   

  Miss Jones is my favourite of them all

  she's kind and fun, she's my teacher too

  she helps with English and explains our maths

  which is something I can do!

   

  We have been her first class to teach

  The whole of this year four

  she may even shed a tear at the end of term

  when we say goodbye and go out the door.

   

  Miss Davies is kind and happy,

  she cheers us up when we are sad,

  sometimes she needs to be strict

  which really is not bad.

   

  Miss Ellett is my music teacher 

  now she can really sing a note

  if she was on the x factor

  she would always get my vote

   

  Now, the dinner ladies 

  they give us veg mix

  that keeps us on the go!

  How much we really hate it

  I guess they'll never know.

  We really like the chocolate cake

  Its really quite a hit!

  but there is a massive problem

  We only get a bit!

   

  The office staff 

  are always helpful

  If we are sad or have a bad tummy,

  and if we are sick in school

  they will always call our mummy.

   

  Miss Evans

  she runs a cricket team

  and seems always on the move

  Now shes a full teacher 

  shes really found her groove!

   

  Miss Hodgson is in charge of the nursery

  She's always busy busy

  I think it must be all those nursery kids

  That make her dizzy dizzy.

   

  I'm sorry I couldn't speak of everyone

  in my little rhyme

  my mum has sent me off to bed 

  so I just don't have the time.

   

  Niamh 4J (2019)
