Cuba spent the day creating music through improvisation based on space poetry written by members of the class.

‘In Orbit’ written by Zoe Kantazi, read by Hiyaw and Sharnelle and brought to life through music by Team Cuba.

It was incredible watching the young lyrical genius’ work come alive! The local orchestra, who have performed with poets such as Benjamin Zephaniah, hand picked Zoe’s poem as their inspiration – they were truly astounded at the quality of the writing.

In Orbit

Orbiting…

Vivid darkness constantly,

Vibrant worlds we soar through.

Violet galaxies blind me.

Through space in an instant.

Orbiting…

With pleasant leaps of hope and faith,

Distant worlds flutter silently.

Never ending sparks dance,

Amongst despair.

Orbiting…

Around and around

Glittering planets pirouetting,

Beneath the darkness.

Around and around

Orbiting…

Will we ever stop?

Around and around

Our unique universe

We will never stop

Orbiting…

Still in orbit

Getting dizzy

Still in orbit

Until forever ends
