P6/7 have been learning about poetry and we linked it to our right of the month. Lots of authors around the world participated in an event organised by UNICEF called tiny stories so we decided to take part too. We wrote a poem about what we want for every child, all of them were very good but Alexander Street’s (P6) stood out.
What I want for every child By Alexander Street
I want every child to
have a home with lots of room
to play in.
I want every child to
be able to look into the eyes
of a loving parent or guardian.
I want every child to
wake up and hear birds singing
instead of gunshots.
I want every child to
run away from a chaser
instead of their home.
I want every child to
have a full meal
instead of the remains of one.
#Foreverychild.
