This week, our Year 6 students explored the fascinating world of digital stories during their Computing Age. To make their learning meaningful and creative, they connected this with their Age of Literacy, combining technology and poetry to show how words can truly shape who we are. The result is this beautiful article — written entirely by them — reflecting their hard work, imagination, and the magic of words. 

Miss Andra Ciorba

Small words get bigger every day.
Even though we don’t always realise it, in time, words can change us — and make us better people.

This article presents our work during the Age of Literacy. We have studied the world of poetry and its secrets. While there were many poems and poets, Benjamin Zephaniah inspired us the most with “People Need People” and “Who Are We,” along with Katherine Rundell and her poem “Hope.”

Through all our special poems, each of us describes hope in unique ways.
Poems are magical and full of hope. Some lines are powerful, others emotional.
Hope is like a fire; it burns bigger or smaller. Everything can be better with hope!

Mihai’s poem shows that hope can be stronger than it seems, while Ilinca’s poem reminds us that hope never stops trying.
Small words can mean BIG things!
Our poems show that everything has hope — and nothing is lost.

Words can make people happy, or they can make someone sad.
As Shakespeare said in just four words, “Life is a stage.”

Through our poems, we discovered that one word can make a big difference.
Every word is important. Everyone is important.
Think about what words you will share today.
Use your words kindly — they can make a difference.
All words count! Let’s make them matter.

Our Poems

Eve, has good luck at the maths test.

You’re never too old to learn.

Doesn’t matter if we’re tall or short,
We are still the same beautiful person.

A Note from Us

Reading these poems reminded us once again of the power that words carry. Each child found their own way to express what hope means — not only in writing, but also through how they listened, shared, and encouraged one another during this project.

As teachers, we are so proud to see how their creativity and empathy come together. Words can indeed change the world — and our Year 6 students are learning to use them wisely.
