Devastation by John Y5
Raging on and on,
Bombers rule the skies,
Never a night of peace,
Children’s piercing cries,
Calling for their parents,
And many a loved one lost,
In the ever-present winter,
Accompanied by the frost.
Troupes of displaced refugees,
Fleeing across the wreckage,
Of burnt out shells of houses,
Devastation edging closer,
The buzzing cold black war drones,
Like malignant blue-bottle flies.
Someday the guns will fall silent,
And gentle peace will reign,
But until then, let us pray to them,
the people in Ukraine.
Covid by Mark Y5
I still remember that devastating depressing time
I felt isolated and cold with nobody to talk to
Covid rolled on and on without a seeming stop
My parents felt stressed and their faces went as white
As snow.
My parents also started to feel sombre
And heavy hearted.
Something that had started as a dot of fear
Had now become a whole circle.
I had understood something was wrong
Very wrong
When Covid came to my doorstep
I was tired
I was as still as a rock laying in bed.
I felt like a bird in a cage
Imprisoned Unwanted.
Away from the world
I missed going to school.
Seeing all my friends on a screen
Wasn’t even comparable to seeing them in real life.
I felt detached from the world.
I had lost my soul
This was my devastating experience of COVID
A lockdown life by Theodore Y5
Keep your dreams
For if you forget
Life is a crowd
That doesn’t understand yet
Keep your dreams
And if you don’t
You fall
With nothing to break your drop
Cold life
Isolated doors
Neighbours locking themselves away
My dream deferred
The axe swings- a final blow
So many lives lost
A wrecking ball
Covid, the executioner’s new weapon
A saw breaking through the last
Stitches of my dream
Unweaving them carefully.
I am nothing but empty skin
St. Alban’s Catholic Primary School is a Voluntary Aided school in the centre of the city of Cambridge in the grounds of the Catholic Church of Our Lady and the English Martyrs (OLEM).
The school serves the Catholic community south of the river Camb but as a one form entry, places are not available to all the Catholic families. At St Alban’s we promote a strong Catholic ethos and provide cohesion amongst families who come from all over the city. Our mission statement “Believe, Achieve and Succeed” is alive in our school and we invite all visitors to experience this.
St. Alban’s is a happy and popular school where children are loved and cared for, where they become very independent, confident and reliable, as they experience the many wonderful opportunities ahead of them.
The children are at the centre of all our thoughts and actions, and by listening and working with them we offer an education which is fun, exciting and challenging.
Please explore our website to learn more about our school.
