Weta workshop poem

Living in the bush              

The weta right at home

Waiting for the dark

The great ground weta

In his comfortable home

king of the insects

Five different types

A big prehistoric group   

They’re all together

in the undergrowth

hunting for fruit,leaves,flowers

His life is complete.

Poem in te reo Maori

Noho i roto i te ngahere

Ko te tika weta i te kāinga

Tatari hoki te pouri

Te weta whenua nui

I roto i tona whare whakamarie

kingi o nga pepeke

E rima ngā momo rerekē

He rōpū onamata nui

kei tahi katoa ratou

i roto i te tihi

hopu mo te hua, rau, puawai

He oti tona ora.

My poem

Kieran’s Poem

Lining up to the starting line.      

Getting ready to run.                     

Waiting for the gun.                    

Suddenly the gun fires I sprint away.

Leaving everyone behind.                     

Not a footprint insight.                              

No one catches me.                                

While I run like lighting.                           

I'm as quick as a flash.                                     

I cross the finish line with excitement

the crowd cheers me on

as I lift up the trophy with pride.

I had made my family

so happy

I had the best time of my life.
