Stocksbridge Junior School

On Monday 25th June 2007 , 5 people from y5 were chosen to go on a trip to Kelham Island. These people were Tom, Liam, Zakk, Kate and Summer. There were 15 authors and 1 poet there. In the morning we got to work with Anne. We were writing poems about Kelham Island.  In the afternoon we worked with an author called Jane but we only got to work with her for 10 mins because we quickly had to be evacuated. It had rained so much that the river nearby was about to burst.  Apparently within 30 minutes of us being evacuated to the Winter Gardens on higher ground, the river burst and flooded the whole of Kelham Island.  We eventually made it back to school but unlike lots of other schools in Sheffield, ours wasn’t closed!
