Kids Corner

The “Kids’ Corner” section of our school newsletter provides the opportunity for the children to showcase their talents or communicate something special. This fortnight I have taken the opportunity to share:

• A poem from Chris (4A)

This is a poem about the Aboriginal struggles during the British invasion. As I was writing this, I felt their pain as if I was witnessing all this along with them. Special thanks to Ms Marotti for teaching me poetry.

ALONE:

My family was taken  

I was all alone

I looked at the sun setting down in the horizon.

I hid in mud from the British

It was a cold feeling up my back

It was like nature blending with my surroundings.

I shivered with fear

I was trembling

I couldn’t stand

I couldn’t crouch.

My heart shattered when my family was taken away

But I knew I had to go

Anger and sadness started gushing through me

But I kept holding my emotions as strong as I could

Nothing was fair

My family were treated as slaves

Beaten up and no food at all

I couldn’t believe this 

Nothing was fair!
