Hi
Following on from today’s assembly, here is your next challenge. Write an acrostic poem, like Ms Stenhouse’s below, to represent what friendship means to you. Purple forms for the best ones! You can post it here, make a poster (digital or on paper), make a video or anything really to present your poem, but try to be creative.
Here’s Telma with her wonderful poem! She was the first pupil to get creative. Well done and thanks for filling our bucket to the very top!
And here’s Carla’s poem (Y5D). Carla certainly fills our bucket every time we see her with her endless positivity!
Here’s another entry from Louie (and friends). I’m sure you’ll agree, he made fabulous use of his iPad! He had sound on the original, but it hasn’t come out in Google Drive. That’s my challenge – to add the vocals… I will and then post it here. You will be able to see that it is more effective with them. What do you think of this version? Can you tell what apps he used?
Here’s the one with sound! We did it together… teamwork rules!

Thanks for your poem Vicente. What is it you mean by ‘enjoy full’? Could we make that sound better do you think? Ask me when you see me.

Ms Kildea
ACROSTIC: LAUGH with your FRIENDS.
L earn to speak nicely even when you’re angry.
A lways smile and say ‘Hi’
U nderstand that it’s ok to be different.
G ive respect to get respect back.
H elp people instead of doing it for them.
caxtoncollege
I really like how you have changed the structure of the poem to get in some fresh ideas. Very creative.
Ms Kildea
Lucky to have such FRIENDS
I’m happy to have friend’s who don’t judge me,
They accept me as I am and let me be:
Happy, sad, nervous or shy,
All we ask of each other, is please don’t lie.
We have days that are good and days that are bad,
We say sorry and don’t stay mad,
Words can hurt, so we take care,
We stop and think before we share,
Some words can scar and last too long,
So we count to ten, breathe and move on.
Sometimes together, sometimes apart,
Playing with others is healthy and smart.
If your friend is not there and you’re alone,
Then you’ve others to whom you can turn.
Be nice, be kind and remember to be
the friend that makes others around you happy.
