5 Things You Didn't Need To Know About Me

For writing, we had to make a slideshow about five things you really didn't need to know about me.


     

Turangawaewae Video

In Room 15 we have been learning about turangawaewae, the place where we stand. For homework we had to make a video about what kiwis think of New Zealand. I did it together with Charlotte. Enjoy!

Where I'm From Poem

In room 15 we have written a poem that symbolizes where we are from. It is based around a famous poem by George Elle Lyons called Where I'm From.

Where I’m From

I am from differences

no mind to think alike

from the streets embracing alleyways and passages

and the endless labyrinths

I am from a place that never sleeps

hearing the car horn lullaby every night

from pushing through crowds

the cigarette smoke creating wreaths in the sky

I am from cycling through the city

sometimes in a wake of sad relations

from the satisfying pattern of bicycle wheels

uprooting the gravel in the country

I am from our balcony

and the days I spent looking down

to the road far below

from the chance of snow in winter

my brother the wandering snowman

I am from encouragement and faith

my parents leaving no doubt

my home city with my home people

I am from reality
