The children in 6A discussed how it felt to be on stage and to perform. They then wrote poems to reflect that. Each child recited their poem to the rest of the class and the class then voted on the five they liked best… which is why we have seven!
METNS Musical Medley
By Hannah 6A
Seeing the light unlike the night,
Made me nervous.
Feeling the beat of heavy feet ,
Banging some more.
Hearing the clapping
Quite like tapping of rain
Hitting the floor.
Tasting the fresh air
Better than in there,
Walking out the door.
We were champions .
We are champions .
Now and before.
METNS Musical Medley
By Ellie
Nervous shivers
Excitement rising, hearts pumping
Muffled singing from the other performers.
Blinding light as I hop on stage
Thundering claps
Sound breaks but as we begin
All nerves perish.
I begin to feel Freddie
Foot stamping to the beat
Joy, as voices begin to raise
Bodies begin to sweat
Singing our hearts out to the last beat
Stepping off to feel cold air
As clapping becomes softer.
Delight.
METNS Musical Medley
by Johnny 6a
Around the corner from the hall
Half of us thinking we would have a ball
The other half as white as a page,
But we all ended up on the stage.
Feeling my heart pound
Was quite the frightening sound.
Then we started
And it sounded great.
Thankfully my parents were not late.
I was sad it ended .
But glad I got to go to bed.
METNS Musical Medley
By Sibeal
Mind buzzed with “I won’t care,
I won’t care when the music blares”
Why was everyone making a big deal?
Then it hit me
It just got real
An overwhelming wave of excitement,
But later a cooling enlightenment
Nervous but calm
The applause rang
Then under the hot yellow lights
6A sang with all their might.
METNS Musical Medley
By Franky
As nervous as a baby bird
Learning how to fly
Sweat poured down my face
As scared as a deer getting
Hunted by a tiger.
I stood and faced my fear.
As the stage lights turn on
I’m standing there
As stressed as a parent going
Christmas Shopping.
We began to sing
Feeling more confident
As We Go.
METNS Musical Medley
By Charlie
Under the lights.
There might be a moment of fright,
But it’s your night.
And as the fright grows
You’ll want to explode
But it won’t show.
As music starts to go
No time to ponder
Or for your mind to wander
Off we go
Voices start to grow
Your confidence starts to show
Not even in control
Before you know
The lights start to go
As you part with the crowd
You’ll feel quite proud.
For a moment it goes silent,
Then it shows.
The audience start to explode,
An eruption of cheering,
You might get teary,
Though you’ll feel quite weary.
You’ll know the night has to go,
You’ll never regret the show.
Even though you had a moment of fright
It’s nothing compared to being “Under The Lights”.
METNS Musical Medley
By Sophie
Crow
Birds walking into a room of cats
Scared but excited.
The cats could not hurt them
But control them.
The birds went on display for
The cats to see.
The drums pounding
Piano playing
They sang their song.
The crow tried to sing but
All that came out was a squeak.
They kept going determined
The black feathers glistened in
The stage light.
The more they tried the better they became.
Black to White
The feathers charged.
The birds left the hot stage and into the cold breeze
Her hair swayed in the wind
Her eyes shined in the light
And the cats cheering.
