This competition required participants to write a poem about a topic of their choice and also accompany the poem with an illustration.
The winning work will be set to music and performed by the Orchestra at one of their future concerts. The judges also selected two runners-up for the competition.
Amazingly, Lewis (Junior 2) has been selected as one of the runners-up for his poem ‘A Day’s Work’, which is all about how Lewis has been completing his online learning during lockdown.
Lewis will receive a family ticket to the concert Ghost Ship, including backstage passes. Well done!

‘A Day’s Work’, written by Lewis (Junior 2)
When in “Lockdown”, what to do?
Unfortunately, I have home schooling to do!
Out the window the sun outside is shining,
When I am finished the trampoline will be bouncing!
A day’s work when will it end,
A day’s work, oh how to spend!
Work, Work, Work, that is what I do,
At least a day’s work teaches me something new!
Maths, English and History too,
Lots of writing, learning something new,
From World War 2 to Currency Exchange,
I need to get through all this before it rains,
A day’s work when will it end,
A day’s work, oh how to spend!
Work, Work, Work, that is what I do,
At least a day’s work teaches me something new!
The last subject is about to end,
In Drama we always try and pretend,
Pretending is over no more work to do!
I am away outside to play, but with who???
A day’s work when will it end,
A day’s work, oh how to spend!
Work, Work, Work, that is what I do,
At least a day’s work teaches me something new!
