Creative Writing Club
If you are in year 7 or 8, enjoy writing poems and stories, and would like the chance of seeing your work in print then come along to Creative Writing Club every Monday in Room 26 at 1.30. We enter National and school competitions.
Here is some of the work created last year
Boys have been working on poems for The Young Writers: Talkin’ ‘Bout My Generation Poetry Competition.
Entrants were required to write a poem about their generation.
Congratulations to the following boys whose wonderful, insightful poems (see below) about their generation have been selected to be published in the regional anthology:
Lucas Attwood 7CKN; Andrew Green 7CKN
Kulvinder Nagre 7CKN; Quinton Huntesmith 7CKN
Kulvinder Nagre 7CKN; Quinton Huntesmith 7CKN
The Poetry Anthology will be published on the 31st of August and a copy will be available to borrow from the school library. We will find out soon whether the school has won a prize for their entries.
My Generation by Lucas Attwood,
an acrostic poem
My generation,
Years of not caring about our nation.
Greatness just going to waste,
England is just about having good taste.
Nobody cares about our planet,
Everyone’s searching for their hidden talent.
Rushing around for nothing but money,
Abusing life like it’s something funny.
Traditions are just going down the drain,
It’s leaving all the old people in so much pain.
Over taxing like it’s just a game,
No one cares about anything about fame.
My Generation by Andrew Green,
an acrostic poem
Mobile phones, MP3 players, memory sticks
You think that you could take your pick
Gordon Brown, global warming, games consoles
Everyone wants more fun and less homework
Not everyone in this world has all these gadgets
Everything is always changing
Running seems to be what everyone is doing
Animals are endangered and some are extinct
The fast food is getting people fatter
I think this world is too full of cars
Olympics is in China this year
Nothing is normal and everything is different
My Generation by Kulvinder Nagre
My Generation,
Have no respect for our nation,
It’s all about our style,
Old people say it’s vile.
Most of all our money,
Is spent on Nikes, not honey,
We never earn our keep,
We just ride in our dad’s Jeep,
We hardly ever race,
For paying the bus fare,
We sneak in through the back,
Not a thought of the Union Jack.
To summarise a point,
Before I go to a burger joint,
We care more about football,
Than going to a bookstall!
My Generation by Quinton Huntesmith, 7CKN
My generation is the place to be
You can come and go whenever you please
From country to country
To planet to planet
Come on my generation is the place to be
Life is easy, life is fun,
Life Is the best it’s ever been
You can do this,
You can do that
Make a call on the loo
Type up your homework in 10 seconds max
My generation is the place to be
The place where you can do all these things
