Eco Poetry

This year we have run a house poetry competition in years 5 and 6.
The poems could be written in any style but had to be basd on a theme of caring for the Environment.

Here are some of the entries.

Reduce the amount of electricity you use,
Do your own bit and try not to accuse.

Recycle your rubbish and don’t make a mess,
The amount of litter will become less and less.

Repair your old things; you don’t want to waste,
Use it again without any haste.

Re-use your things, this is the way,To give you a smile every single day.

By Amy Harold

Eco friendly solar panels
Nature and all the animals
Vital to act now
Important to show how
Reduce your carbon footprint
Outside and within
Nurture all the plants
Monitoring and caring
Every bee and ant
Never clutter the land
Think before you act.

By Annabel Preston

A green tree
An eco-friendly person
An endangered animal
A recycling bin
An energy saving bulb
A reused shopping bag
A better public transport
A repaired television
A rain water filter
A reduced amount of energy


By Adam Mugliston

Help support the eco system, there is only one chance so we can’t miss ‘em!

Yes reduce, re-use, recycle, repair. Grow some plants to show that we care,

Put litter in the bins that’s all you need to do that means everyone including me and you.


By Alice Root

Earth is green, maybe, selfish people cutting down their soles.
Nature needs nurturing.
Violent chainsawers, men’s voices, keeping the animals away.
I reduce, reuse, recycle and repair, to keep the environment clean.
Rarely do you see anyone walking, cars lots of cars streaming the nation
Ocean’s and river’s dying down, pollution is the problem.
Nearly all the precious animals becoming extinct we need to keep them safe.
Many should care about the Global Warming, Polar Bear need . . . . . .
Eco-friendly people, these are the people we need to look up to.
Never do you think acid rain will come.
Together we can make a big different

By Katie

Earth must stay green
Nature has to stay clean
Vile smells are bad
In your heart it is really sad
Respect our world with care
Or how will we survive out there
No more rubbish on the road
Make a change so earth can reload
Eco councils are working hard and afar
Now you must avoid travelling by car
Try to look after our world and you’ll be
A star!!!
By Natalia

The birds in the sky
Are going to die

The apes in the trees
Will fall on their knees

The fishys in the sea
Probably won’t be

Don’t despair
Let’s repair

Please keep the world clean
It helps being green

Life spans are getting shorter
Because we slaughter

The world’s health is going down
And life is going to drown

No wonder there’s fish
They all come to our dish

Please do choose
To Re use

By harry fell

Everybody needs to get involved
Nature is being killed by chainsaws
Vocally people say they care
If we stop cutting down trees we will live
Rivers are being polluted
Our earth is slowly dying
Nobody wants to help
Massive amounts of waste are dumped
Even the grass is being polluted
Nothing can stop it apart from us
The eco system is breaking down

By James Barlow-Shepherd

My friend Maggie cares for the world,
And she’s spreading the message to every boy and girl.
Cars are clogging our atmosphere,
And nothing were doing is making it clear.
Waste is sending up poisonous gas and ozone layer is suffering worst.
So when it comes to saving the earth,
We should work hard for what its worth.
Reduce, Re-use, Recycle, Repair,
Do these things to show you care,
If your eco friendly just like her,
We can work together to save our earth.

Reduce,
Your use of electric and water,
Re-use,
Your old bottles they can be useful again,
Recycle,
Could it be used as something else?
Repair,
The jumper with a hole to mend.

Remember these tips and Maggie’s advice,
And we’ll soon make things better,
For a new cleaner life.
