History Haiku Challenge 2022

May has seen the History Department hold the ‘History Haiku Challenge’. Students from across Years 7, 8 and 9 were all invited to submit a haiku inspired by one of the topics they have studied in History since September.

We were flooded with entries and it was a very difficult job judging who the three winners from each year group would be. Thank you to everyone who entered and well done to the following students:

Year 7:

William Wallace

A hero to all the Scots

Hanged drawn and quartered                    

Lauren B (7RSN)

 

The monastery 

Many monks live peacefully 

Rules of Benedict                                          

Keonie B (7GFO)

 

They are changing us

Normans forcing us to build

Their castles of wood                                    

Sian K (7GFO)

 

Year 8:

Expanding westwards

Native people forced to change

Unable to hunt                                               

Phoebe B (8RFR)

 

Lincoln v Davis

Loyalty will be tested

A fight for freedom                                     

Hattie C (8EHO)

 

On the Pendle Hill

Women wrongfully murdered

False claims of magic                                  

Eden F (8NRH)

 

Year 9:

Waiting in the lines

Trapped by the German forces

But then came the boats                             

Lottie J (9RMV)

 

Called up to defend

Leaving behind family

When will I be home?                                  

Heather P (9SHS)

 

Dead man on the road

Let’s play a trick on Hitler

Fake news in dead hands
