Our School poems

11th Apr 2024

Darragh O’Brien, thanks to you

By Calleigh McHugh

 

Darragh O’Brien, thanks to you,

we’re finally getting the new school. 

Even though because of the work, it’s becoming a tight space,

I can’t wait to explore this long-awaited new place. 

Darragh O’Brien, thanks to you!

 

The pre-fabs will soon be gone, as they should,

and more yard space will keep everyone smiling, as they would. 

Even though we still have a few months to wait,

to see this new school I would never be late!

 

Darragh O’Brien, thanks to you,

we’re finally getting the new school. 

As this new school awaits us all,

I can’t wait to see the classrooms and the soon to be decorated hall. 

Darragh, O’Brien thanks to you!

 

 

 

Our School

With my time at this school coming to an end

Its time I tell you about this school my friend

The school might be different to you

And it`s different to me too

Before I take my final say…

I`ll tell you about the person who made the schools day

Thanks to Daragh o`Brien who has come here to say

The new lay out for the school is made from brick and clay

I`m only joking it`s not built that way

But sit down and watch the school be built day by day

Thanks to you Daragh o`Brien the school will finally be made

Now are school is the best better than all the rest

This poem is dedicated to Daragh o`Brien
