Monday was our St Albans wide Reach Out for Refugees Day. We read the very poignant story of Lubna and Pebble and reflected on how difficult it must be to leave the place, people and possessions that you love.
As part of our English learning on the book ‘If all the world were …’, we have each written a poem and here is our very thoughtful class poem, which includes a verse from every member of the class.
If all the world were …
If all the world were scary, I would hug, hug and hug until the scary darkness was gone.
If all the world were poor, I would welcome the poor into my cosy house.
If all the world were awful, I would pick a red, shiny rose and smell it so I try and forget about it.
If all the world were hideous I’d suck it up and fill it with happiness.
If all the world were darkness, I would light the world up.
If all the world were poor I would give everyone a home.
If all the world were wonderless, I would hug my family.

If all the world were …
If all the world were sorrowful, I would give away my teddy bear.
If all the world were poor, I would fly to them to give them a blanket to sleep with and some more money.
If all the world were empty, I would give the poor love.
If all the world were full of worry, I would bring some people to the sandy, windy beach to see the sun set.
If all the world were sad, I would give people my teddies.
If all the world were unhappy, I would give people my shiny money.

If all the world were …
If all the world were death and destruction, I would fill it up with love.
If all the world were sad, I would give away my teddies.
If all the world were full of poor people, I would give them medicine.
If all the world were selfish, I’d stand up for people.
If all the world were scary, I would give people my teddy.
If all the world were miserable, I would try to cheer people up and make a better place.

If all the world were …
If all the world were horrible, I would give someone a great, red and beautiful rose.
If all the world were empty, I would fill the world with love.
If all the world were war, I would give them a home.
If all the world were poor, I would empty my money box for charity.
If all the world were worrying, I would tell people that they’re the winners.
If all the world were painful, I would wrap my lovely sisters, mummy and daddy in a warm blanket.
