Pupils from Year 6 at Christ Church CE Primary School, Ellesmere Port, have been writing poetry as part of a First World War topic.
Amongst other areas of learning, the class have been exploring what life would have been like in the trenches.
One poem entitled Lest We Forget by 10-year-old Georgia Suckley reads:
“Lest we forget those that went
By the government they were sent
We remember them by red
However, some remember them with dread
Standing there looking ever so brave
Watching others approaching a grave
Let’s take a moment to salute and bow
To all the great soldiers still alive now.”
Another poem by Nikki Nall-Evans, 10, contains the lines:
“In the war the heavens clasp onto soulless men
Our eyes see this horror in our underground den,
In the war in the mud,
In the war we see gruesome blood”
Roman Turner, 11, wrote:
“Soldiers running in the trench
Stamping on and getting drenched”
