Selfie Poem

My Selfie Poem

I am from the Xbox on the floor,

from the toaster and the fridge.

I am from the pool at the back of my home,

and the warm cozy feeling.

I am from the pine trees around my home,

from rugby and the pine trees.

I am from the sounds of the rain on the roof,

from sleeping in my bed.

I’m from having fun and playing board games and from,
From Bob The Dog and Fynn.

I’m from having to take our shoes off when you go inside

and putting the pull out every Summer,

and from gaming and sitting inside.

I’m from Fynn throwing things and from Fynn

running away in a spiderman suit,

from the pages of the periodic table, and

Elmo’s World.

I am from playing video games and Fortnite.

I am from playing  in my pool, in the back of my yard.

I’m from Greymouth and, New Zealand.

Donuts and pizza, from Fynn not liking Fortnite.

He thinks Fortnite is bad.

I am from Pictures of my house being built.

zombie poem 2019 by Caleb and Eamon

Zombie poem by

- Caleb and Eamon

Zombies around me staring me down

I Cannot blink or make a sound

These soulless creatures walking with fear

Yellow beaming eyes as faint as a car light

These reanimated beast with a cringing grin

And there revolting rotting skin

They leave me in torment and raging denial

I wish them dead and gone for good, burning up like firewood.

Ashes to ashes and dust to dust. I'll kill them all, if I must.

Those hideous faces and evil grins. They look at me, and I'll blow off their chins.

I'll chop them up, into rotten  meat.

I hate everyone of you bloodthirsty creatures.

I'll smack every smile back into a frown.

Boom Pop munch the gather up in a bunch and  

eat me up.

Treaty of waitangi

This year Room Eight and Room One had to relearn and go over the Treaty Of Waitangi. We had to make little booklets and waka  showing the flags that have been used as the New Zealand Flag. Everyone has also made a paper boat and each boat in our set team groups are a different waka that came with the Great Fleet.

Mahatma Gandhi

Mahatma Gandhi This week Room Eight are learning about Mahatma Gandhi, this is Eamon and Jennae’s response. Gandhi was a very good person and stood up for his rights just like Nelson Mandela.

 Gandhi has changed the way people do things and we think this has also put people together, and it has positively affected people in India and around the world. The meaning of the name Mahatma means a person with love and respect. The name Mahatma also means a person in India that is said to have preternatural powers. Gandhi was born in Porbandar, India.

Just like in South Africa, but in India, there was unfairness going around and white people would not even sit next to the Indians on trains.nbsp;In South Africa Indians were given the worst jobs and they were made to live in horrible places. Mahatma Gandhi wanted to change this. He also wanted to make India one country and not all separate. He fought for his rights just like Nelson Mandela did and he went to jail for believing that everyone should be treated fairly.

 What Mahatma Gandhi did affected many people. In the process of his goals many people got killed for following what Mahatma Gandhi said. When Gandhi was achieving what he wanted to do, many people didn’t want change and didn’t believe that this would help India. He said ‘An eye for an eye end up making the whole world blind.’ Eamon and I think that this phrase Gandhi said mean’t he didn’t like it when people fought and he thought it wasn’t right.

 We agree with him that it is not right and that everyone should live peacefully together without fighting. In India people used salt in their food.The government taxed salt and people were not allowed to collect their own salt. Gandhi didn’t want this to happen so he got people to keep collecting salt.

 This got people to get in trouble with the police because they were collecting salt when they were not suppose to. Overall Gandhi was a good person and influenced people to live peacefully together. Gandhi made people be affected by his acts and this is in a good way.
