Here are some of the new versions of the Blaydon Races as written by Year 6 …..
Blaydon Places
I went to some Blaydon places ‘twas 2014
On the day there was a match oh you shud a seen
Twas a local darby, Sunderland v Newcastle
Aaway wa went ta saint James’park and there was some hastle
Oh me lads yu shud a seen us gannin’
Passin’ the folks alang the rood just as they wa stannin’
Al tha lads an lasses there al wi’ smiling faces
Gannin’ lang some different roods ta see some Blaydon places
I zipped past Gateshead Toon hall we were gannin’ quick
We flew passed the new houses there we saw Old Nick
We got to tha Metrocentre it was 4 o’clock
When we gat inside there we went to buy some socks
(Chorus)
We went passed Stella school the pupils were working hard
The teachers were having a coffee but they were aff guard
Then there was a loud bang and the children were runnin’ riot
All the teachers were shoutin’, “OH JUST BE QUIET!!!”
(Chorus)
We stopped at Pumphrey’s coffee for little break
Then we got back in the car and we ate our cake
On the radio it announced today’s Blaydon races
But we forgot because we’d been at these Blaydon places
(Chorus)
Fin, Jack and Andrew
