My Places- Turangawaewae

We have been placing pinpoints on important places that we have experienced or want to go to one day. We have shown all our interests and memories.

Mihi
Ka tangi te titi
Ka tangi te kaka
Ka tangi hoki ahau
Tehei Mauri Ora
Ko Rongokako te maunga                         
Ko Tuki Tuki  te awa                             
Ko Tony toku matua
Ko Kathy toku mama
Ko Bonnie toku ingoa
Ko Maidens toku ingoa whanau
Ko Maungawharau te kura

No reira, tena koutou, tena koutou, tena koutou katoa

I am from-Poem

I am from

                                   I am from paw prints scattered across the carpet,
from dead plants and brown dry grass,
I am from piles of leaves in the late autumn,
from the crackle of walnuts dropping on the roof.


I am from High 5 at 5:30 in the morning
and Dora in the afternoon,
from active gin rummy on a late night,
I am from serious scrabble on a rainy day.


I am from walks up Te Mata Peak
and long bikes along marine Parade,
from scrumptious bbq’s on a hot summer night,
I am from competitive video games with my older brothers.


I am from chilling out on the couch and reading a book,
from boogie boarding
and squidging the sand in between my toes on the special day of the year.
I am from experiencing Christmas lights on Christmas Eve,
from the fresh smell of plum, lemon and mandarin trees,
I am from the Long White Cloud.

By Bonnie
We have been writing poems-all about me. Here is my piece of poetry.
