We have been learning about poems. We were inspired by Frank Kendon's poem The Looker-On. We had to create a poem to describe part of the school. Here is my poem. 

A Placed Remember 7.3.19

He Puna Kawenga
 We had to describe our room without using personal pronouns such as I, me, you and she.

As the white door opened to the room a big king-single bed, with five stuffed animals staring at the door. The bed is so tall a stool is needed to climb on. It has covers they are dark grey and light blue. In the right hand comer is a little tent with pillows, a fluffy mat and on the tent there are stars. The desk is realy messy, its been messy for six weeks.
