Ina’rangi’s Poem

The story’s at camp that I wish they won’t tell,
are stuck in my head like Mary go rounds.
They go round and round and haunt me in my sleep,
Just leave me alone, I yell, I scream.
They say dolls’ dead eyes stare,
creeping nearer, chilling the air.
Their silent approach, freezing fear in their wake.

Camp, like a lantern in the night,Guiding us through
darkness with its light.
A refuge, a haven, a flame burning bright,
Where memories flicker, like stars taking flight.
I love camp like a sanctuary in the wilderness,
where every moment is an adventure waiting to unfold.
I love camp, I blabber about!

I love dem marshmallows,
but only the white ones.
I love dem they taste so good,
They melt in my mouth, I knew they would.
In fluffy clouds of sugar’s delight,
Marshmallows dance, a sweet sight.
Soft and squishy, they melt just right,
In my mouth, a cozy bite.

Polyfest

Last week Wednesday was real fun,
That was the day we went to Polyfest a festival that has stages that show you other people’s culture and traditions.
I’ll tell you how my day went, so first
of course we had to be early so I came to school at 8:10.
At about 8:20 we went inside the hall to get into our groups,
I was with Mr’s Barrowman.
After that we went into the bus, I went into the first bus and I was at the window!

After like when we were at the first stage and it was so fun, but my favourite stages were the Māori stage and diversity stage.
The diversity stage is the stage we watched second, it was really cool we saw 1 Chinese group, 3 Indian groups and one Tongan group.
Also even one of the groups had people that were once students at our school!

Now we are at our last stage, we’re at the Māori stage!
We watched this one group they were doing a Haka, me and my friends
couldn’t quite hear them but it was cool anyway.
After the Māori stage we went back to where we went to the stage we went to first, we did some finishing stuff and then we went on the bus to go back to school.

It was like 30 minutes until school was over so we decided to play games outside and, it was a fun day! I think the year 7 and 8’s should compete at Polyfest because it will be fun, filled with memories and a good experience.
