We were proud to be chosen to recite Valerie Bloom’s poem called ‘A Baby and a Tree’ at the Christmas Tree ceremony at Trafalgar Square yesterday.
Firstly we all met up with each other at the poetry society and met our poet instructor who gave us some gifts. After that, we practised our performance and then we took a break and played some Jenga. After playing some Jenga, we all went to Trafalgar Square to meet Valerie Bloom and the BBC to have an interview with them. After that, we practiced our poem on the stage. Then we went to Pizza Express for our dinner a couple of hours before the performance. We had to wait at the café for a while and we met the brass band while we waited. Sadiq Kahn also wanted to take a photo with us which was a privilege.
Finally we did the real performance, the moment we all have been waiting for. It was very nerve-racking and exciting for us because we were performing in front of a massive audience but also exciting because it’s a once in a life time opportunity. Everyone was really proud of us for being brave enough to read in front of so many people. We were also very proud to represent our school.
