Emotive poetry about the Challenger Disaster.

As part of our project on space, we have looked at the Challenger Disaster in 1986.

Here is a link to the real footage of this event.

BBC Challenger Liftoff
“We will never forget them, nor the last time we saw them, this morning, as they prepared for their journey and waved goodbye and slipped the surly bonds of Earth’ to ‘touch the face of God.”

We have been writing poems to reflect our feelings about this event.

Watch our performances of our own poetry below.

  3. well done Year 5
    I am impressed with your poems and your technological abilities!
    I remember this event and how shocking it was at the time.
    I was teaching a year 6 class and we spent some time discussing what had happened. (those year 6 children are now 30 something!!!)
