Marin's Poem

Poems

I love it,

When I can turn a page and start anew.

I find,

I write better poems than I ever did stories.

I think,

My words flow faster when I can write my mind.

Maybe,

I should stick to what I know.

But then!

There’s a story,

I lose my path,

I lose my way,

I’m foolish,

So many unfinished stories,

When I have finished a hundred poems.

Maybe,

I should stick to what I know,

To what I do,

I write poems.

One of the passion inquiries in V4 and V5 is creating a unique hat. We were visited by a designer, Dianne Potter and got lots of tips.

Shaun Treeby

As part of our passion inquiries we have invited in different professionals to school to talk to us. 

Yesterday the sports group had Shaun Treeby to visit. Shaun plays for the Highlanders and the Wellington Lions.

We discovered he was taught by Bridget and Perry at primary school. He dreamed of being a firefighter when he was little. Shaun started playing rugby around the age of 11 and before that he played soccer. He loves Mexican food and likes to eat McDonalds but mostly has to eat healthy to be able to play rugby at top level. He is sponsored by Asics and Powerade and has to train everyday during the rugby season. His best try was for the Highlanders when Hosea Gear passed him the ball and he was able to create a break away try.

At the end of our interview we got to play a game of touch with Shaun.
