‘The bird and the boat’ by Laura Age 9 Years

The bird and the boat

There was once a bird (seagull) that lived with a sailor on a tall ship. Her name was Shelly and she hated the taste of the sea salt. Whenever she tasted it her feet tingled. One day the sailor called,” We should go for a sail”. Shelly hated the sound of that! But she had to go. So she flew on to the sail and they set off. She was so scared.

She started to write a poem:
It is boring on the boat
Really, really boring Yes it is!…

Shelly was so bored. One day she overheard the captain saying,”The ocean is full of fun, exciting things.” Shelly never knew that before and she definitely loved the sound of it. Now she didn’t care about the taste of the sea salt at all. All she wanted to do was fly and have a good time out at sea so that is what she did.

She wrote a new poem, here it is:

I love the swishy fun sea and I never want to leave so,
I just sit and chat to myself I don’t need a sleeve to wipe my tears
Because I am HAPPY!
So that was that.

‘Tall Ships Galore’ by Jasmin L, Age 9 Years

Tall Ships Galore!!

The huge tall ships are sailing out to sea,

The huge tall ships are taller than Mr Lea,

The huge tall ships have huge sails

The huge tall ships are bigger than giant whales,

The huge tall ships have people standing on the masts,

The huge tall ships have people wearing masks,

The huge tall ships have colourful flags,

The huge tall ships have flags made out of bags

‘As the Long Boats go Past’ by Jamie, Age 8 Years

As the Long Boats go Past

As the long boats go past the pier,
All the people shout and cheer,
Flags are flying in the sky,
Fireworks fly very, very high,
All the sailors on the ship tall,
Teetering, holding tight ,about to fall,
ARRRRRRR!!!!!!!

Tall Ship Regatta

Celebration time in Falmouth,
Excited people all around town,
Listen carefully to the soft music,
Elated people dancing in their clogs,
Bright colours bursting though the town,
Regatta for everyone, come on join in,
A celebration not too forget,
Tonight it’s time to party,
Illuminating the sea side town fireworks fly,
On the pier there are people dancing,
Never forget this celebration.

‘A Beautiful Night’ by Hannah, Age 11 Years

A Beautiful Night

The crackling fireworks giving off a bright light,
The calm glistening sea beaming in the night,
Gigantic tall ships getting ready to set sail,
People dancing and cheering while drinking ale,
Flags calmly waving side to side,
A peaceful, millpond this high tide,
It’s such a beautiful sight,
What an amazing night!

‘The Regatta’ by Samson, Age 9 Years

The Regatta

The fireworks boom and light up the sky,
You can hear the drunken sailors singing a shanty,
The wooden pier is full of dancing people,
The man playing the accordion beside John Dyer’s shop,
As all the bands stop the people start walking home,
All the cups and cans left on the road and the pavement,
For tomorrow’s rubbish collection.

‘Bright Light, Night Fright’ by Adam, Age 11Years

Bright Light, Night Fright!

Jack is a man who is 25 years old and likes partying all night. He loves wearing jeans and a short sleeved t-shirt. Jack went to the regatta, down at Falmouth, Cornwall; it was his first ever time going to the regatta and he went down with his dog, called Bolt. They were best buddies. Jack also took his bike to the regatta.
While he was riding his bike he lost Bolt in the dark scary night and he could not find Bolt anywhere. Jack looked for ever and ever.
Jack looked on every single boat and every building in the city in which there were a lot of buildings.
Jack was getting really worried about Bolt, Jack was feeling extremely scared now, he had looked everywhere in the city and there was nowhere else to look in Falmouth.
Two hours later Jack found Bolt behind a hedge out of the city. Jack was the happiest person in the whole festival at 2:55am.
After Jack found Bolt they made their way straight home. Thirty minutes later Jack got home with Bolt and they went straight to sleep.
