SCHOOLCHILDREN at a school in Herefordshire have shown their support to Ukraine this week.
Year Two pupils from Colwall CofE Primary School all wrote poems based on the theme "What is Ukraine".
The class agreed Ukraine "is not war or something to be destroyed" and looked through a picture book about Ukraine to decide what it really is.
One of the poems reads: "I hope they end the war. I hope Ukraine and Russia end the war and agree to talk."
In a post on Facebook, a school spokesperson said: "We’ve all been shocked and saddened by the current events in Ukraine.
"Year two have chosen to look at the beauty of Ukraine and have written these poems entitled ‘What is Ukraine?’
"We agreed as a class that Ukraine isn’t war nor is it something to be destroyed.
"We looked through a picture book of Ukraine to decide what it really is.
"If these 6-year-olds are the future then I think our future is in very safe hands.
"You’ve made Mr Paynter and Miss Lancett so proud."
