Spread my wings…
Good luck; I can’t wait to read them!
We all stood at the front of the hall waiting to receive our black books from Miss Frood, as tears rolled down the cheeks of teachers from our earlier years. We were all exited but slightly nervous to leave primary school. A lot of us were going to different schools but some of us were staying together. You could say we flying the EP nest. We will always have good memories and reminisce our times at primary school. We will all find a way to spread our wings and fly Eleanor Palmers 2015 brilliant year 6 will be forever united!
Year 6 has been a journey I’ll never forget. All the trips, workshops and challenging work would always be a special thing I’ll remember about this great school. There have been good times, bad times and extraordinary time like when we saw the birds flying across our heads in the hall. That was one of my favorite memory of Eleanor Palmer. There is a time where you really need to just keep your head focus on what to do, especially when it was so close to the SATs. I know most the time you just want to talk friends but still do some work. There is a time that some people dread… saying goodbye to your school and friends. You’ve been with these people so long that you don’t want to say goodbye, but its the start of an new adventure to secondary school. So you need to spread your wings and begin to leave the nest. Goodbye Eleanor Palmer, I’ll miss you!
Eleanor Palmer has been a spiral of education and fun. I have loved all the trips, adventures and lessons and I have benefited from them so much that I can’t explain it. To remember racing up to Dee telling her with excitement that 100+100=200 is hilarious. I will never forget that moment. It seems so funny now that I was excited about knowing that sum. There were tough days and relaxing days, bad days and good days yet, at the end of all of them, walking home, I felt good. Somehow, everyday no matter what happens seems to end with a smile on my face. In a few days, though, I will have to leave to go to secondary school and say bye bye to EP. I will remember all the moments I have had at this school like the SATs, Wick Court, Sayers Croft, all the classes I have been in and all the AMAZING teachers I have had. That’s all the teachers and all the classes because they have all been fabulous. I will now have to spread my wings and fly the nest. I will miss every one of you and hope I will cross paths with you in the future. Goodbye EP!!!
I’m doing two comments for the final 100 word challenge ever!!!
I was going on a school trip, a bird museum and I really don’t like birds so I tried to fake being ill but they spotted I was faking it. I had to go. We were on the coach and I was thinking about how birds are so horrible, the awful sharp beaks and big wings. We got there and I needed the toilet. I was still thinking about their big wings spreading out. In the bird museum all the birds were died and I found out lots amazing facts. In the end I felt like a big brave bird.
I am the king of the elements,
I am the king of the sky,
Always waiting for prey,
Out of the corner of my eye,
I am unchallenged so far,
I win whenever I spar,
That is why I’m a survivor,
If my clan was a bus,
I would be the driver.
I also can take great care,
And I can be fair,
Yet don’t get on my bad side,
If you do you will be dragged into my lair,
And left there,
To rot.
I am the king of the elements,
I am the king of the sky,
I spread my wings and dive,
And catch my prey alive,
I am not feeble,
I am the king,
The king of the eagles.
This story takes place 20 years after we last left Jake…
He entered the hall with all the other adults full of joy; his child was about to finish their primary education. His child had gone happily through 8 years at Eleanor palmer- a top class school. He could still remember when his son walked through the gates: and now he was leaving! But Jake realised (as his son was collecting his ‘record of achievement’) something strange growing from that something was growing from his child’s back. A faint ghostly pair off wings… his wings were spreading literally and mentally
I looked down at the vast oceans, continents, boundaries and opportunities that awaited my arrival, just waiting for me to hurl myself over the edge and tumble into them, crashing and failing. I didn’t want to, but it was my only choice. I must move on, I told myself and took a deep breath, knowing that unless a miracle occurred, it would be my last. I threw myself over the edge. Then something strange happened. A searing pain erupted in my back, and to my eyes’ astonishment, two wings appeared on my back. Two perfect, elegant wings. I spread them, and gently moved into a controlled, yet fast dive towards my future.
Dear Eleanor Palmer,
it is you that gave me my wings and I shall use them well. Thank you for all the branches you have made on my tree, and, as my wings grow, I shall always remember you.
Spreading my wings ready to fly
A group of tears well in my eye
I will miss this school once I’m gone
I’ll need to savour these moments as they pass,
Because at EP they’ll be my last
Watching the black books going to and fro
On the stage that held the year six show
Hugging each other and saying farewell
Everyone was melancholic, that you could tell
The school closing; on me forever
A new journey ahead, ending never
I take one last look at the blue gate
I smile and whisper this is my fate
