A Poem

We like reading poetry in Room 6.  Each day we read different poems.  Our favourite is Fobba Wobba John and the Ning Nang Nong.  I saw a another interesting poem in the paper today.  It meant to me what it is like being a person who has lived in Christchurch for most of my life.  The prior knowledge I had is what we all now have.  I made a really good connection to it.

No Defeat

Roses are red, the Chalice is blue,
the cathedral has fallen, many buildings have too.
You can rattle our bones, you can rip streets apart
but you will never defeat our Red and Black hearts.
For we are Cantabrians and together we know,
We stand tall together, through anything we regrow

By Kiely Wallace, Brisbance
