‘Tall Ships’ by Keane, Age 9 Years

Tall Ships
Tall ships are big and wide
Everybody wants to get on one
but they can’t
They really want to go everywhere
Around the world
I love Tall ships

‘Dog Tall Ship Adventure’ by Jay, Age 9 Years

Dog Adventure

Once upon a time on a Tall Ship there were two dogs. One was black and called Woof the other one was brown and he was called Barker! Woof and
Barker were best friends. They traveled to Africa for an adventure on The Tall Ships. It was a big excitement for them!

‘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

‘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!

‘A Journey’ By Lilly, Age 14 years

Fireworks flashing
Flags flapping
Sailors chatting

Horns honking
Bells ringing
Birds singing

Dogs barking
Children laughing
Everyone’s happy,
The Tall ships have come

The clock struck twelve over Falmouth town
The trees were swaying all around
There were no more boats or people around

The tall ships were gone
So there was nothing to do
And they had all gone home to eat some stew
And watch TV and play on the wii

But soon that same old place was grey
And people did start to inquire
What had happen to their oomph
The way they danced around all day

“The tall ships may have gone” they cried
“But what has happen to our pride
We can still have lots of fun
And make merry in the gorgeous sun”
Slowly everyone did cheer
And danced around
And drank some beer

So Falmouth town once old and grey
Came out of its sad misery
Let this be a lesson to us all
Once the tall ships have gone
Carry on with the fun.

‘Hurrar they’re here’ by May, Age 8years

Wahay the Tall ships are here
Everybody shout hurray.
Come outside and watch them glide across the turquoise sea

Get up sleepy heads it’s time to get out of bed.
Come on lets have some fun.
Dance and sing all day long.

I have never seen people so happy before
Come on Tall ships
Lets have some more.

‘My Story’ by Lily M, Age 11

A soft blue blanket hung limblessly over the star strewn sky. The moon staring down on Falmouth, winking occasionally to the scattered people way down below. The brightly blue sky and sea reflect the smiling moon’s face. Boats litter the tranquil sea as the lingering people wait upon the boats. The squawking seagulls scan the grounds for a late night snack. People dawdling through the coloured town. The bright colours burst to life. Sweet smells of freshly baked pasties coming from Rowes’ as people walk past the shop. Dogs barking excitedly, waiting for something to happen.
Suddenly the Tall Ships swarm into the sheltering harbour, a loud cheer comes from the crowd, dogs barking enthralled as the ships come closer. The intense colours of bunting hung across the ships as they stood tall over Falmouth. Startlingly, the fireworks erupted with colour and noise. It flared up the night sky. It was soon over though. Many people stayed a while after, others went home for an early night. Laughter and chatter filled the streets once more. The subject stayed long after the Tall Ships had arrived.
A soft blanket hung limblessly over the star strewn sky.

‘My Story’ by Isobel, Age 11

The sky was full of colours as the fireworks danced in the night sky. The crowds cheered while the Tall Ships glided through the swooshing waves. I stare at the glowing street lights. ‘Bam!’ an erupting volcano of colour, bursting out fairy dust before another almighty bang!
I see children dancing with sparklers, next to them stand their parents holding roasting hot pasties. Adults are lifting up their children to see over the wall. They see the amazing vibrant colourful sails. All I see is the blue, red, orange and purple floating across the gentle seas.

‘Tall Ships’ by Iris, age 11

Bang!
Another firework exploded.
Yay!
Children having fun.

Seagulls flying through the gentle moonlit sky.
While the tall ships crowd in and say hello.
The smell of happiness lures me in to join the family.
The moon is a light shining down on us,
Keeping us safe and secure
As we cheer and play inside the glorious town.

Darkness is crowding in,
People are getting scarce.
The moon is waking up,
Until another day.

‘Smiling’ by Daisy S, aged 11

The fireworks erupt into colours – blue, yellow, pink,
Flashing before my eyes,
Settling on the calm blue sea,
That twinkles in the moonlight.
Everyone cheers as the tall ships sail into sight;
Busy sailors waving happily from the sails.
The sparkles and fizzes fill the air,
The fireworks painting the midnight blue sky by themselves.
The crowd is buzzing with excitement.
The whole of Falmouth watch the ships;
The ships decorated with flags and bunting.
Even dogs acknowledge the event,
Barking at the seagulls who circle the moon.
The crowd ooh and aah
Mouths open wide in awe of the beautiful sight before them.
The moon watches from above,
S M I L I N G …
