The Charge Of The Light Brigade Alfred Lord Tennyson LI: to understand the story behind this narrative poem Half a league, half a league, Half a league onward, All in the valley of Death Rode the six hundred. 'Forward, the Light Brigade! Charge for the guns!' he said: Into the valley of Death Rode the six hundred. 'Forward, the Light Brigade!' Was there a man dismay'd ? Not tho' the soldier knew Some one had blunder'd: Their's not to make reply, Their's not to reason why, Their's but to do and die: Into the valley of Death Rode the six hundred. Cannon to right of them, Cannon to left of them, Cannon in front of them Volley'd and thunder'd; Storm'd at with shot and shell, Boldly they rode and well, Into the jaws of Death, Into the mouth of Hell Rode the six hundred. Flash'd all their sabres bare, Flash'd as they turn'd in air Sabring the gunners there, Charging an army, while All the world wonder'd: Plunged in the battery-smoke Right thro' the line they broke; Cossack and Russian Reel'd from the sabre-stroke Shatter'd and sunder'd. Then they rode back, but not Not the six hundred. Cannon to right of them, Cannon to left of them, Cannon behind them Volley'd and thunder'd; Storm'd at with shot and shell, While horse and hero fell, They that had fought so well Came thro' the jaws of Death, Back from the mouth of Hell, All that was left of them, Left of six hundred. When can their glory fade ? O the wild charge they made! All the world wonder'd. Honour the charge they made! Honour the Light Brigade, Noble six hundred! At the Battle of Balaclava in 1854 during the Crimean War, the ‘Light Brigade’, (a group of British soldiers), charged down a narrow valley to fight the Russian soldiers who had captured British guns. The Russians were at the end of the valley as well as on each side of it. The attack was not a wise choice and happened because of a misunderstanding of an order sent by the commander-in-chief. After following orders less than a third of these men survived.

When the Wind Blows Reflection

I thought this story was a good but sad because the main characters died in the end.

The labour herald said “ This book deserves a very wide audience and should be compulsory reading “. I think it should be so that everybody knows how horrible nuclear war is.

The guardian said “It is meant to break your heart in some purpose “ I think it should because the nuclear war is horrible.

Eastern Beach Recount

One scorching hot day we went to Eastern Beach.  The view of the beach was spectacular and amazing.  The whole of Panmure Bridge School went there on a trip. It was fantastic. I was so happy and I think everyone else was too.  Do you know what I was looking forward to the most?  It was getting to go kayaking at the beach and paddling as quickly as possible.

When we got to Eastern beach it was lovely to feel the cold breeze on a summer’s day. We were all full of energy and ready to run around and play beach games.

The first thing I did was play some intense touch.  It was so hard and tiring that we had to have a rest half way through the game. Then I started playing cricket, I didn’t get to bat but bowling was still fun . Then I had something yummy to eat.

After playing sports I then went out in the bright yellow kayak through the calm and salty water with my group and some of the teachers. Some of the kids in my group fell out of their kayaks and had to swim back to shore. We got to race one of the teachers back. We had to paddle as fast as we could I beat Ms Kirkpatrick to shore and that was fun for the last bit of the trip.

The Eastern beach trip was so much fun and I think everyone enjoyed it and I hope we can go back there soon.
