Year 6: A Visit of Memories

by Bryony Hart

Following on from last week’s English/Library transition event with Year 6, please take a moment to read two creative responses from the pupils that reflect on the day.  

Amber’s reference to ‘om’ is because this is how Sita signalled for them to listen.  By the end of the day, they were all sharing a collective ‘om’!  There was singing, exhibition, sharing memories, and much more. The day was fantastic.

 

A Visit of Memories by Amber Kan (6G)

Memories, what wonderful memories!

Make lovely boxes, that you will treasure and keep,

Fill them, pile them, stack them with accessories!

Embark on a journey with many mysteries you will seek.

 “Oooooooooooooohmmmmmm” 

Silence.. “Oooooohmmmm”

 

Saris, what wonderful saris!

Traditional clothing full of embroidered gems,

Wear it, fold it, unleash the stories from the past!

Stand back, there’s a story by the Thames.

 

“Oooooooooooooohmmmmmm” 

Silence.. “Oooooohmmmm”

 

Conches, what wonderful conches!

Choose your path, on a journey to the manor!

See, smell and hear the ripples of the sea,

Or face the dangers from a ladder.

 

“Oooooooooooooohmmmmmm” 

Silence.. “Oooooohmmmm”

 

Collections, what wonderful collections!

Collect memories with care,

Rage, tears, and happiness, the emotions you split into sections

spread the anchors you share.

 

“Oooooooooooooohmmmmmm” 

Silence.. “Oooooohmmmm”

 

Songs, what wonderful songs!

Time and count, to sing a round

Experiment, learn and make sounds which go BONG!

Unite together to make one big precious song.

 

“Oooooooooooooohmmmmmm” 

Silence.. “Oooooohmmmm”

 

Memories, what wonderful memories!

Make lovely boxes, that you will treasure and keep,

Fill them, pile them, stack them with accessories!

Embark on a journey with many mysteries you will seek.

 

 

 Our day with Sita Brahmachari by Alex Cameron (6G)

 

Joy and happiness to be back with my friends and tell them about my holiday journeys.

 Our break was over but an exciting summer term had just begun.

 Under pressure to think about the future but I remember all the good times in the past.

 Running around with our memory boxes thinking about anchors in our lives.

 No clue what the future is going to hold and what memories we will make along the way.

 Everyone thinking about their dreams and ambitions and making wishes for others.

 Yesterday my dreams were young but now they have been set free.

Space travel, olympic medals, adventure and exploring new places.
