Owen's Piano Flashback!

Owen's written us a fantastic flashback based on the film we watched today - The Piano. well done, Owen!

As I sat at my dusty,battered piano the daunting memories came flying  back to me. I rote this song for my wife, Jane it was for her birthday.
When that day came the cords were played Jane was sat next to me playing the song as well , but thoughts days are gone she left me , yet I feel glad that I can still see her in my dreams.

As that memory flies past the death of one more person comes to mind. The war. I was a first aider I nodded to my friend he engaged his riffle and sprinted past the crumbling wall one gun shot to the chest he was down I ran and cradled him in my arms sobbing because there was nothing I could do. I put on a brave face and put him down.(Although I could not bear the sadness).


My grandson reminds me of when I was a boy skipping on my hobby horse around my piano as I did when I was young .


Now my grandson is sitting on my lap to play the last cord of my song.

    1. Yes Miss Blakeway,
      I agree, it is a sad story to be honest, it nearly made me cry, however it is also a fantastic story. I think Owen disevers a big pat on the back.

  4. We did this in year 5, I found the video so touching that it nearly made me cry. What was your favarite part of the video?
    Mine was when the woman and the man played the piano together, I liked this part because it really touched my heart, and I felt like the old man did not have a good life. i hope you will love this topic as much as I did, just open up your mind and really concentrate on what is happening!

  5. Hello Owen
    I think that you did really well in that post. You especially did well with your adjectives 'daunting'. It was amazing.

  6. Dear owen,
    what an emotional pice of work you have produced, when I was in year 5 we learnt about the piano and we did alot of discriptive writing about it, I enjoyed it did you? I love your use of the word
    'daunting' well done, you have also used aBOYS sentence, if you don't know what a boys sentence is, it is a sentence where you use because or but, or, yet and so. However n time, you could use a range of connectives like however, dispite, although.

    This is such a great story!When I was reading it made me feel like crying. I love the way you mentioned '(Although I couldn't bear the sadness'. This is such a great story but next time you could try a bit better with your spellings.I adore how you have named the characters and made people imagine it in their minds. WELL DONE!

  10. Dear Owen,
    that is so sad, I nearly cried, espsially near the part where he can still see his wife in his dreams. You are a great writer and hope to see some more of your stories or poems on the blog. I remember when we watched the vidio in year five. I like how you have used all the parts of the vidio in your poem. I also like how you have used brackets to add extra infomation. Do you hope to be an author when your older? I do!
