This evening we attended our first awards evening at Davenant Foundation School. It was a wonderful evening full of celebration for the whole of year 7.
Jaimie's award was :- for Excellent Effort Across the Curriculum
Awards at Davenant
The hall was musty, very ordered.
We chose a seat around the border
Hoards arrived and thus were seated
Rows of children finally completed.
Shirts so white, pressed and starched
Shoes were shiny and fit for a march.
Ties done up right to the top
Some felt their eyes were ready to pop.
Mr Etheridge spoke, he’s head of year
He told us when to clap and cheer.
Each name was read, each parent proud
When the name was heard
They applauded so loud.
So well done the children of Davenant school
Your spirit and tenacity is a lesson for us all.
In all that you learn or think and muse
It will help you decide which path you may choose.
