Achievements

Tameside Culture ran a poetry competition to mark the Centenary of the armistice that brought the First World War to an end.
They decided to mark the end of their  Centenary commemorations with a poetry competition where selected poems will be read out on local radio and published.

We are delighted to announce that a child in Year 4 submitted a poem and has been chosen as one of the 11 poems to be published

It is called 11.11.18. Click HERE to hear one of the veterans reading it

Today I feel sad

Thinking of the family I had

Killed and gone in World War One

I wish I had my mum

Today I feel glad 

looking at a picture of my dad

he died for me 

he died for my family

Today I feel proud

At 11 o'clock- I wont make a sound

I’ll think about the soldiers

How they died for us

Today I feel strong

But for my family I long

I’ll never forget

Please never forget …

Well done Freya!!
