Mr Goodwill's Year 7 - Poems 
Sorrow
Sat at home waiting nervously for news,
The letter drops through the letter box painfully,
Tears stream down my eyes as I slowly tear the letter open,
Scanning through the words,
I can hardly keep it together,
My love is gone, he’s gone forever.
I scramble tragically out of the trenches,
Holding my gun,
Shaking and trembling,
As the smoke fills up my nostrils,
And I feel a shiver down my back
I fire the gun, fighting for my life
The bangs, the booms, the sadness and dead bodies.
We must thank those heroes,
That fought for our lives,
Although they’re not here to hold,
They shall always remain in our hearts.
Bethany Blair
The Dawn
The dawn of night was closing in,
Many of the soldiers were gone,
Machine guns rattling and bombs booming,
Why couldn’t we go home?
The dawn of night was closing in,
Bullets whistling and men screaming,
Men were dying for their country,
But why were we doing this?
The sun was rising,
Poppies were rising,
Many a man were dead,
Blood was everywhere,
But would we be remembered?
The war was over hoorah, hoorah!
Many, many years later,
We were still remembered!
World war two broke out,
But we were still remembered!
Remember
Remember the soldiers who risked their lives
Remember their families too
Imagine how treacherous their lives must have been
Going to war, fighting for life
Staying at home, petrified
No matter their places
The war still went on and
We still honour those who gave up their time
To save us so we could survive.
Remember the poppies that still survived
Remember the poor soldiers who fought
Whether young or old, rich or poor
They saved their country from hell.
So respect their tradition and
Show the soldiers honour
Buy a poppy to save soldiers today
And take two minutes silence
It’s the least you can do to show that you care.

Re: ‘the bike chase’ scene
We are having really big problems! We desperately need your help. Can you please try and make ‘the bike chase’ dramatic enough to go into our film. We would like you to complete the following activities and present them to ‘The Board’ to decide on a winner
You must:
• Create a story board of the scene – showing how you want the scene to look
• Include sound and special effects
• Work as a team – making decisions and working together
• Use digital images to create the storyboard from your key points in the scene
You should:
• Use your imagination – we haven’t got a real boat or a conference centre that we can destroy.
• Think about music that you might want to include to build tension
You could:
• Use your team as characters in the digital images
• Think about how to create the sound and special effects – props etc.
Best of luck film makers – the winners will receive the honour of winning and a prize!!!!!!
