Brian Moses' School Report - Brian Moses
For?
Targets
My teacher says my targets are:
To write more neatly,
to spell more words correctly,
to get more sums right,
to chatter less
and to behave myself.
But the targets I set myself
are far more interesting:
To climb a tree to the top,
to stop time before my spelling test,
to think up a disappearing spell
and try it out on my teacher,
to leap from up high
and to defy gravity.
These are my targets,
the ones I’m aiming to complete
before next week . . .
The ones my teacher sets
may take a little longer . . .
Classroom Groups
In class one the bees are buzzing all day
but snowy owls just sit and stare.
The hippos get in everyone’s way
while antelopes run everywhere.
In class two blue group look quite blue
and yellow group never look well.
Red group blush quite easily
but black group are sheer hell!
Tens, units, fractions, decimals,
class three groups are mathematical.
Pronouns, adjectives, verbs and nouns,
in class four everyone’s grammatical.
In class five it’s the great composers,
Mozart, Vivaldi, Beethoven and Bach.
Beethoven don’t hear much at all
but Mozart sing sweet as a lark.
This term class six are geographical,
mountains, valleys, rivers and streams,
but last term’s topic ‘food’ was brill
with chocolate, pizza, chips, ice creams.
I wonder if teachers have their groups too
when they’re snacking in the staffroom and we can’t see?
The Pot Noodle lunchers, banana munchers,
the ones who drink coffee and never touch tea.
In our school there’s lots of different groups
but I like to make up more of my own.
There are groups good at maths or drawing or games
and mine who are good at going home!
Behind the Staffroom Door
Ten tired teachers slumped in the staffroom at playtime,
one collapsed when the coffee ran out, then there were nine.
Nine tired teachers making lists of things they hate,
one remembered playground duty, then there were eight.
Eight tired teachers thinking of holidays in Devon,
one slipped off to pack his case, then there were seven.
Seven tired teachers, weary of children’s tricks,
one hid in the stock cupboard, then there were six.
Six tired teachers, under the weather, barely alive,
one gave an enormous sneeze, then there were five.
Five tired teachers, gazing at the open door,
one made a quick getaway, then there were four.
Four tired teachers, faces lined with misery,
one locked herself in the
