Year 5 blog:
As part of National Poetry Day, our Year 5 children explored this year’s theme of ‘Wonder’. They thought about the questions that make us curious, the possibilities we can imagine and how our ideas can inspire us to take action and make a difference.
Together, they created this wonderful whole-class poem:
We Wonder
I wonder...
We wonder.
I wonder if the stars were black and the sky was yellow.
I wonder why the moon glows.
I wonder what would happen if there were no gravity.
I wonder if my own shadow is following me.
What if it is?
I wonder what came first – the chicken or the egg.
I wonder why England has only won one World Cup.
I wonder what it would be like to live in Egypt one day.
We wonder about the strange,
the silly,
and the impossible.
But some wonders are bigger.
I wonder if the world will ever stop spinning.
I wonder if there will be more or fewer trees when we are older.
I wonder if Earth swapped places with Mars.
I wonder if the world will find more renewable energy.
Imagine a world where every day was kind.
Imagine a world where every child could go to school.
I wonder what the world would be like if people did not exist.
Imagine a world where houses were trees.
We wonder.
But maybe wondering is not only about questions.
Maybe a question can become an idea.
And an idea can become an action.
And an action can change the world.
What if we planted more trees?
What if clean energy powered our future?
What if kindness was louder than anger?
What if every child had the chance to learn?
What if we noticed the little things?
What if we listened?
What if we imagined something completely different?
What if we stopped saying, “That is impossible”?
What if we asked one more question?
What if we kept wondering?
What if?
Take a breath...
...and thank Mother Earth.
Stay curious.
Keep dreaming.
Keep asking.
Keep trying.
Keep caring.
Because the future is not something we just wait for.
It is something we help to build.
We are Sinclair. We are architects of a better world.
And it all begins... with wonder.
