Alyssa & Iona read to care home residents

During lockdown Iona and Alyssa took part in a Zoom session to read to elderly residents of Queen’s Court Care Home in Wimbledon, who were feeling the impact of isolation. They chose an extract from Roald Dahl’s The Twits, their favourite book!

Poems Inspired by Spring

Year 6 were inspired by the coming of Spring, just as school came out of lockdown. A special moment for all of us to appreciate new beginnings.

Hello Spring by Sofia

Buds are blooming, the wind is whistling, Happy spring birds chirp their cheerful songs. Shoots are soaring and trees stand tall, Spring waves goodbye to Winter.

Daffodils dance and buttercups bow, To the glorious sun, crowds of petals unfold. Tulips thrive, pansies bloom with pride, And from their slumber the roses rise.

Spring Poem by Inez

Now that winter’s gone

The earth has lost its cloak of snow and bitter frost

Frost doesn’t litter the grass or cast an icy dream

Doesn’t make a river into a crystal stream

The warm sun thawed the icy earth

Now Spring has sprung.

The flowers awaken and the sun thaws the trees

Brings back the squirrels and the bumblebees

Now a choir of birds has started to sing

This is what spring has to bring

The trees sprout leaves now it’s May

In a beautiful green array

Now spring has sprung.
