Here is a little poem about going back to school – from a teacher’s perspective.
Back to work tomorrow,
Better start to think.
Get my laptop open,
Screen is on the blink.
Wading through the emails,
Checking for something good.
Need to write some lesson plans,
Kinda think I should.
Training day to start with,
Wishing for nice food.
Try to sneak back for seconds,
Hope I don’t seem rude.
Displays up and labelled books,
Pencils sharp to go.
Clay and art straws waiting
For arty stuff – you know.
Corridors are empty,
Ready for stamping feet.
Toilets have been deep cleaned,
Preparations are complete.
So welcome in another term,
Weeks of early starts.
Writing poems, singing songs
And making mathsy charts.
Final Thoughts
I hope that you enjoyed my short Back to School poem about getting ready to return to class for a new academic year.
For one of my poems about global warming, have a read of Heaing Up. Please follow my blog for future similar content.
Nice! Great post
Good luck this school year, Jamie! And I smiled at the food reference. I think that’s universal to all workplaces!
Haha I always enjoy free food.
Thank you.
Great poem through the lens of a UK teacher! Have a great school year.
Thanks you. Looking forward to next Summer already.
How did it go? I’m experiencing large boy starting secondary and the school is drip feeding bits of info and websites etc. Thank goodness! I fear there will eventually be very many things and trying to absorb them all at once would be crazy.
Haha there are always so many things going on in my academy as well.
Such a cute poem. Hope the year has been going well! ☺️
Yes thank you 😊
I think so many people will identify with this poem and the feeling and memories it brings up! Brilliant (and well deserved rest for all teachers)!
Thank you. I am counting down to Easter.
