Mrs Allison's Class

Room 7 have been borrowing ideas off other writers and using them in their own writing. Here are a few examples.

The following poems are written after reading a poem by James K Baxter. The poem was about a town he grew up in.

Hawea Flat

Hawea Flat is usual enough; it has

a school, bike park, playground 

and tennis court.

My brothers and friends do what boys do-

play on the bike park, on the playground,

soccor and tennis,

doing nothing important.

By Corin

Lake Hawea

Lake Hawea is usual enough; it has

a pub, a library, a lake, a sky over it,

and even a dam.

Minnie, Aneka, Rata and I do what girls do- 

play on the maple, splash at the lake, 

play netball, chase Rata and Ashley,

Doing nothing important.

By Pipi

Lake Hawea

Lake Hawea is usual enough; it has

a lake, a park, and even a shop.

My brother and I do what girls do- making crafts,

baking with Bernie, watching movies,

doing nothing important.
