Andy Tooze is a local poet from Buxton, Derbyshire, who ran workshops from Reception to Year 6.
The children really enjoyed listening to Andy perform his poems before being inspired to then write and perform their own poems.
Hopes and Fears
By Payman
Hopes and fears interfere with my sleep
Mum! I can’t go to bed!
Why my dear? Did the fear interfere?
Yes! Exactly right!
I was about to goof in my dreams, but…
I know, I know you are worried about secondary
How did you know?
I’m your Mum, of course I will know!
What is it like?
By Caitlyne
What is it like?
Time flies by
What’s my future going to be like?
I had an idea
It came out of my mind
What is it like?
Time flies by
Might make some friend
Might lose some friends
I just don’t know
What is it like?
My stomach is turning
My head is pounding
What is it like?
I’ll take my time to find out!
Chocolate Cake
By Alicja
Do you like chocolate cake?
If you want, I can bake
I really hope I’m not too late
Make it quick
Make it easy
Make sure the batter doesn’t go swiftly
Pick up the cake
Go in the car
Press on the gas
The day goes by in a flash
I go home in a dash
I put my PJs on
WAIT…
Why is the salt out?
Ehhh … it is my fault!
