FAIRHOLME PREPARATORY SCHOOL An Introduction by Philip Reeve I have been writing stories ever since I learnt how to write but I never imagined I would see my stories in print until I finished Mortal Engines, which was about my first really big idea – moving cities! Well done for having your own piece of writing in print already in this We Are Writers book. Stories and poems can be anything you would like them to be – they can be long or short, funny or scary, and about very, very big or very, very small things. The most important thing is to keep looking for ideas. Inspiration can be found anywhere so keep on looking, and make notes of your ideas so they can be used later. Always be yourself when you write though. A story or poem belongs to you, and the very best ones tend to spring out of your own personality. And don’t forget to keep looking out for ideas for your next masterpiece… Philip Reeve Published by Scholastic Ltd for Fairholme Preparatory School Mount Road St Asaph Denbighshire LL17 0DH © Fairholme Preparatory School First published in Great Britain in 2012 All rights reserved.

Printed and bound by CPI Group (UK) Ltd, Croydon, CR0 4YY Foreword The Queen’s Diamond Jubilee, 2012, has been a unique event which we hope will be remembered by the children of Fairholme in years to come. This collection of individual poems, written by our pupils, provides a personal and special record of this historic occasion. It reflects some of the sentiments expressed by the children of the Queen’s contribution to our country during her sixty year reign and the excitement of the Jubilee celebrations taking place. The collection comprises a number of different styles of poetry, including freeform, haiku, kenning and acrostic, selected to suit the ages of the children and to represent the variety of learning in literacy at Fairholme. Our aim was to involve as many children as possible and so Forms III to VII have provided poems, Forms I and II have written some ideas and thoughts about the Queen and the older members of Kindergarten have contributed drawings of the Queen for the book cover. My thanks go to all the children for their efforts and to the staff for their encouragement and guidance.
