WINNER: Coming of Age
Aiya in Year 8 wins for this brilliant poem which reflects on all her wonderful memories from growing up. Aiya said: This poem is a summary of the fun memories I have. I think that they are relatable for other people too and this poem will hopefully unlock their childhoods. I hope it will be a touching reminder. Too often, we don't look back at the old things, or see the world as we used to view it.
I Remember
I remember watching 'slime videos'
I remember loving to play with dolls
I remember loving to paint since nursery
I remember my favourite friends from Primary
I remember loving small animal rubbers
I remember all my midnight feasts
I remember buying Cheese strings to eat
I remember having mum pick me up from school
I remember when tests weren't important
I remember when school seemed just for fun
I remember trying out for Athletics
And I remember getting in each year
I remember all the different school trips
I remember in Primary having specific felt tips
I remember in lunch, sharing sweets
I remember playing Cops and Robbers with 6DG
I remember playing fun games at lunch
I remember working hard for dojo's
I remember the big cushions in class
I remember the small bookshelf too
