My Old School by Emily Twigg, Naomi Scott and Voirrey Jones (Year 5)
My old school has got no teachers
My old school has got no chairs
My old school has got no tables
My old school has broken stairs
My old school was built on open ground
So people used to say
It was built so very high
It was big in every way
My old school has got some carpets
That will sink beneath your feet
My old school is so untidy
There is nowhere nice to eat
And the classroom’s not the kind of place
The children like to go
Unless they really had to
Maybe once a week or so
My old school has got no playground
Except for parking space
And the school is getting older
And it’s cracking up the place
And worst of all about it
It’s so difficult to clean
And we haven’t seen the caretaker
Since 1970
My old school has got no whiteboards
And the windows are all smashed
The floor has got no colour
And our dinners are all mashed
The repairs were essential
And the windows they were too
The walls were painted blue and white
But what about the loo?
My old school the shape is wrong
It drives me round the bend
The way that things are going
Looks like this could be the end
I could be moving out to a new school
Nice new and clean
But my old school – I love it
It’s the best school I have seen
My old school – it’s
50 yards from Tupsley shop
50 yards from St Paul’s School
50 yards from Bishop’s Bluecoat
50 yards from any fool
50 yards down to the river
50 yards up to the town
50 yards is all I need
50 yards of solid ground
