Shape Poems
I was running and I felt like my heart was dead
I jumped and felt like I’d turned in to a bird
I rolled over and I went to check my score.
I won.
I started the race and then I was near to jump
Then….
I was in the sky and I was thinking that I was in the sky forever
Then I landed
I rolled in the sand and rolled and rolled
And people shouted
Hey! Hey!
I won!
Loreeza Raheel
I was running very fast
Off I went
I was flying in the sky like superman
When I came down I nearly lost my balance but I still landed in
The sand pit like a stone.
I was scared and nervous but thought I’ll make it
Bending my back over the bar quickly going down
I landed on the mat with a bang!
Kenan
I was running and I’m heading to the top
The crowds are cheering
I’m still running and thought I was flying like a bird
I was heading down my heart was beating so fast.
I was there
I was so happy.

Footprint Poems
My legs and hands were thumping
I was really excited.
I was second in the race.
I can see the finish line
My head goes in first.
I win by the closest margin.
Whoo-hoo.
I’m feeling nervous and the crowd is screaming.
The gun goes off and the race begins.
I Start off slow and steady
Then I started to go fast.
There I was at the starting line.
My heart was beating like a bass drum.
The gunman shot the gun in the air, bang!
Whoosh, swoosh
My face was hitting the wind
My hand was trembling like jelly.
The crowds were cheering my name.
I was last.
I run ahead wearing my lucky socks that are red
My heart is beating fast
Hoping that I am not last
I’m nearly there
I can see it in my sight
I’m running with all my might.
There’s the finish line
Hoorah! Hooray!
I win.
Anita Panna
At the starting line
Feeling nervous but fine
I can hear the crowd calling my name for the running game
Bang! The race has begun
And I start to run.
Anisha Panna
I started catching up and I passed the person in front of me.
When I passed them I knew I was going to win.
I saw the finishing line
And I made it.
I won!
We had to get ready and go to the starting line
My heart was thumping like a drum and I felt nervous.
I was shaking like a rattle snake.
The gun shot went bang and we started.
I ran as fast as I could.
Other Poems
Devil’s Barbeque
I am going to have a barbeque
And this is what I’ll cook for you:
Hot dogs with raw dog leg
Delicious cake with frog’s legs
Yummy slimy snake steak
And horse’s tongues freshly baked.
I’m going to have a barbeque and this is what I’ll cook for you:
I wonder if you like rats because I do.
I also love slimy snakes too.
We’ll have some socks with monkey poo.
After we’ll have a pig’s nose
With a lovely rotten tomato stew.
I’m going to have a barbeque and this is what I’ll cook for you:
Juicy mouth-watering dishes from the galaxy
And something from the sea.
Horses tongues and cows dung
Frogs legs and clothes pegs
Chicken feet with octopus meat.
It’s going to be the bee’s knees.
Hasan
Row, row row very slow
Javlin away we go.
Ping pong ding dong
I smashed the ball like old king Kong.
A farmer’s hen saw big Ben in the night at half past ten.
Denis played soggy tennis under water in the city of Venice.
Roll and roll
Let the water go
Splish splash let the water flow.
Make sure there isn’t any hole
Iaz found the bee
Give me with one of the magic peas and we will find the golden key.
Pull and push
Blair and Bush
Pull and push
They don’t shush.
1, 2, 3
Bumble bee
Lovely tree
Wee, wee, wee.
Tasnim Afsana
Row, row, go below,
Blanket but no pills
Push and shove
And pull a dove
Michael Jackson wears a glove.
Tasnim A and Fatiha
Roll and roll
Let the water go
Splish splash let the water flow
Make sure there isn’t a hole
1, 2, 3 I found the bee
Give me one of the magic keys.
Look at me I am free
Oh no I bumbled into a tree
I broke my head so
I went to bed.

North, South East and West
North, south, east and west
Wild wacky west
If you put it to the test we’ll beat the rest.
North, south, east and west,
North the place of culture and rest
Where everyone comes to be the best.
North, south, east and west,
A quarter of London is the South,
It’s coming from your mouth.
North, south, east and west,
Olympics are coming to London East
The crowds will scream like an angry beast.

My piece of work is called: Jesse Owens research
Jesse Owens won the gold medal. He wanted to show what kind of people are in United States because Adolph Hitler thought that no one could win but only Germans could, that’s why he wanted to show Hitler that other people can win to and this is because Jesse Owens wanted to win for the united states and because he had the confidence in himself to do the race but some people didn’t because Hitler would kill them if they didn’t follow what he said. That’s why Jesse Owens said “I am going to show him what other people can do.”

11. Jul, 2007 in St Stephens
St Stephens has worked closely with 2 dance artists one from the Laban in South East London and another from East London Dance in Stratford Circus. They worked with us looking at the theme of the olympics in preparation for 2012. Our dance piece focuses on the idea of team work. The children worked closely together looking at how they could support one another in movement. They also spent time thinking about success and failure in sporting activities, particulary those associated with the olympics. They have worked on solo, duet and group choreography.
They had the opportunity to have photos taken with a professional photographer in a setting of their choice. The children chose ladywell fields as this is where they have their sports day. The photos show the children using different parts of their bodies to support one another.
11. Jul, 2007 in Avenue Primary
Baden Prince came to Avenue several times to work with us to create poems to celebrate the East End’s contribution to the coming Olympics.
The children really enjoyed the experience. Here they are getting on their marks for a poetry race.

I think that being part of the olympic is really hard because you have to be prepared for it before it happens.
Athletes sometimes take pills to stay skinny or go gym or run miles and miles.
02. Jul, 2007 in Charles Edward Brooke
I feel that the olympics is bad because people starve them self to be fit an be good.athletes also take pills.
olympics is also a very hard thing to do you have 2 be very prepared.
02. Jul, 2007 in Charles Edward Brooke
I have always wondered what an Olympic was and why we have them. Is it to keep fit or just be known as somebody thats broken the world record for running the furthest at a certain time?
I really do not understand the meaning of it be all.
I mean, we could be helping poor people all over the world with the amount of money thats spent on JUST RUNNING!
I would really like to understand the meaning of OLMYPIC and why we have it so often then maybe, just maybe i’ll change my mind on what i think of it.
02. Jul, 2007 in Charles Edward Brooke
olympics is a common thing that happens every four years around the world. Every four year sprinters, runners, people who do herdles as there way of wining.
Famous and unfamous people sign up for this event some get in and some don’t. I will like to take of this event in 2012 i hope.
02. Jul, 2007 in Charles Edward Brooke
we are proud of you,for doing 2012 olympics for london and we hope you all you can and we will always suppot you.
02. Jul, 2007 in Charles Edward Brooke
since the decision that the olympics is coming to london i dnt think that brixton has changed very much
02. Jul, 2007 in Charles Edward Brooke
i fell instrested in all the runnig and also see what we people have achives so far.I glad the olympic is comming to london.
02. Jul, 2007 in Charles Edward Brooke
ifeel that its good that we won because we have never hoseted the oympics if have thats a long time ago so i feel really good about it!
02. Jul, 2007 in Charles Edward Brooke
If i had a chance to speak with the organisers of the olympics, i would say to them that how comes they spend thousands on one event taking place in london when there is alote of poverty in the world. People are suffering in every part of the world,some are orphans. There parents have died or have sold them in order to survive in this world. Look into yourselves,does it even bother you? it really bothers me and alote of other people in this ciciety.Starvation,children of the ages of 5 years old there parents or guardian gave them away just because of money.There are orphans of the ages of 11 who have the responsibilty over ther younger brothers or sisters,some children parents die before they are born.they have fake there age to get job some go through abuse.you and me togther can change the world make it a better place for the future generation.
02. Jul, 2007 in Charles Edward Brooke
I think it is a good thing for olympics coming to london. i would also like to take part in the olympics i am in the tooting bec athletic track club which i train to be in the olympics. i will be 20 at the time of the olympics. i would like to run the 100 or 200 metres in the olympics. it would be good for tourism to bring more money into the country.i also think the the old olympic logo was absolutely rubbish you should really change it because it looks really childish. you should let a young designer to design the logo it will look skilful and entertaining.
02. Jul, 2007 in Charles Edward Brooke
if i could meet Kelly Holmes i would ask her what it is like to be a gold medalist and how long she had to train before she could become a part of the olympics and how the training has effected her eating and her social life
02. Jul, 2007 in Charles Edward Brooke
i would like to know why everyone is so exited over the olympics???? whats the big deal
02. Jul, 2007 in Charles Edward Brooke
These are the changes in CEBs since i came here:
-They added blazers and the school logo.
-new year 7 students
-they changed “ big arts day” to “11th day"(which i don’t get)
-they re-painted the toilets and some rooms
-Some new teachers
-No more “ refferal room”
02. Jul, 2007 in Charles Edward Brooke
I would like to go and see the 2012 Olympics because it would be a chance for me to observe various sports and I think it would be fun and lovely to watch people do various sports live.
02. Jul, 2007 in Charles Edward Brooke
since year 7 there have been some changes like the swipe-card systems which we use at the beginning of every lesson however i don’t think those swipe-cards are very helpful because it just wastes time at the beginning of every lesson and it causes trouble example: some students can lose their swipe-cards.
There have been new drinks in the lunch hall and recently added smoothies aswell even thought they recently removed it.They added new curtains in the hall.
They also changed the uniform and now we have blazers however most students do not like our new school uniform.
They also added new interactive boards which kind of help us with our learning.
02. Jul, 2007 in Charles Edward Brooke
What changes have I noticed in Camberwell since I started school?
Well…
*they put in these swipe-card systems where we have to ‘beep’ in every beginning of the lesson. I don’t think it’s all that helpful/useful because it won’t be able to tell who’s truanting because someone else can ‘beep’ in for them.
*they added a curtain to the hall in the ‘Dennen’ site so that other classes can’t see us when we’re changing into our dance kits.
*they added interactive whiteboards (which we hardly use in some lessons) and it kind of helps us, sometimes, when we go on them revision sites during lessons.
*they added a logo on our school jumpers (which we do not really appreciate) and they included a ‘non-compulsory blazer’ (also with the logo on it.)
I can’t really remember the rest of the changes so THE END.
02. Jul, 2007 in Charles Edward Brooke
I would like to go and see the 2012 Olympics because i think it will be exciting and fun to see them run and do all activities.
02. Jul, 2007 in Charles Edward Brooke
i was in school and the last lesson of the day pe when i was told that the 2012 olympics were going to come to london i was happy at the time because everyone else was happy i thought that because the olympics were going to come to london along with that many tourists will come to see london and support their country i was also happy because by that time many people that i know who wanted to be involved in the olympics are very likely to take pert in it and represent their country
02. Jul, 2007 in Charles Edward Brooke
I found this website difficult to navigate because the website has no help on what we look at. All the links have names on it but then it doesn’t tell you what is inside the links.
02. Jul, 2007 in Charles Edward Brooke
When i found out we won the chance to hold the olympics in london i was suprised and shocked but then i was thinking they are spending billions of pounds on building tracks when the conditions of things around london are much worse they care more aboutsport then how people live!!!!!!!!!

Bare Feet (A poem by professional poet Baden Prince writing about the London 2012 Olympics as part of a class for school pupils)
At first sight of
early-morning light
an African child wakes
sets off for school
bare feet stepping on
bare earth
cool breeze kissing
bare skin
As he runs
he dreams of a time
when he will race
to win
Hundreds, thousands:
bare people chant his name
as he runs
bare feet
skipping across cold concrete
winning marathons
Years pass: he’s got
bare gold medallions and trophies
in his house
bare dollars
in the bank
bare name brands
on his back
Barefoot no more:
he’s a champion now
bare people know his name
he’s famous
in every country
in the world
Children watch him on TV
as he runs
they dream
In their dreams
bare feet
in soft shoes
kiss cool earth
with a Nike “swoosh”
triple-striped tops and shorts
drink cool breeze
tangy and sweet
like lemon cola or Appletise
It pays to advertise
bare people
play games
bought and paid for
by these names
hundreds and thousands
of millions
buy their brands
At first sight of
early-morning light
an African child wakes
sets off for school
bare feet stepping on
bare earth
cool breeze kissing
bare skin
As he runs
he dreams

At Avenue, we have been involved with Apples and Snakes, doing photography and poetry workshops. During the first photography workshop the children were taken outside. They took their shoes and socks off and were asked to think about what they could feel under their feet. The children closed their eyes to help them concentrate and thought of a couple of adjectives to describe the sensations. Andy Rumball led the workshop.
