A Poem for Students

A Poem for Students

Ms Cutrufo, MFL, has written a wonderful poem for the students in recognition of a difficult year. We would like to share this wonderful poem with our families:

You made it through when your school was shut,
and when you were asked to adjust.

You made it through with time on your hands but nowhere to go,
No friends to meet, no balls to throw. 

You made it through with that mask on your face,
back through those gates and into school with grace.
You kicked the ball at lunch time again, a laugh, a chat, a friendly face,
Your blazer on, tuck in the shirt, sit up and listen and embrace. 

Time was filled again, 
with masks trapping your breath, wake up on time, don’t be late! 
Where is my homework? I need a pen! Yes, football practice again! It all began. 
Your days are busy, they have a schedule, it all makes sense, there is a plan.

You embrace, you amaze and you smile back at that friendly face,
You achieve and you persist and you enjoy those bustling days. 

Now summer has come, so we wait, for you again to walk through those gates.
when you will listen and you will write, 
you will laugh and you will smile,
you will learn and you will thrive.
