It was interesting to learn about the history of the sea in New Zealand. At 12 the bell rang and shot a cannon and there was a loud bang. Overall we all had a good time and enjoyed ourselves.

Poetry

Last week I attended a poetry workshop with a couple of other students. We learnt about how to make a great poem and what are some of the needs to have a great poem. Here is one of the poems that I have worked on.

My lord

He is mighty, he is strong

He is powerful, he is great

He is glorious, he is victorious

And he could tear down this whole place

He sacrificed his life to save our lives.

He created a place called heaven

He has a son called jesus who is loving

He is always watching over us as we walk on earth

He is an amazing almighty person

He has showed us what love really is

He helped us through all of our rough times

He is the greatest

He is the man that is high above us

We see all his creations all around us through nature animals and us

And once our time is up on earth

Then we shall go and join him
