Hello everyone

My poem is about our day at Writtle last week.  I wrote it while my muddy jeans were going round and round in the washing machine!  I have been really busy since then so this is the first chance I have had to post it.

Year four all went to Writtle

It was the first of May

It rained and rained

And then…. more rain

But it didn’t spoil their day!

They saw an owl

It was eighteen

All fluffy, white and small

And it only weighed twelve ounces

That’s not very much at all!

Chicks and cows

And lambs and bulls

Animals there were many

But sun…. guess what?

It’s no surprise, there really wasn’t any!

Help! They cried we need the bus

To take us back to school

And back they went

All covered in mud

Their memories to recall.

 Today year 4 went on a trip to Writtle College.  We went by coach, it took about 10 minutes to get there.  When we arrived we had to get into pairs and walk down a path.  Me and Connor called it puddle lane.  Then we met a farmer who took us to the different activities.  They were in marquees.  One was a lunch tent where we sat on hay bales and ate our lunch.  There were cows, sheep, goats, chickens and chicks all in one big marquee.  Some of us held a chick.  It rained heavily on and off.  We got soaked and very muddy!! I thought one of the best bits was a thin stick of willow that we had to bend into a circle and twist it to stay put.  One activity was we went through a tunnel made of willow, at the end there was a long dirt path that went in all directions with puddles of mud everywhere.  With the willow circle, once you made it to the end of the dirt path you had to stick it on wooden stick that was stuck in the ground. I had a great day I would do it again.
