'Where I Am From' Poems

Thank you to these three students for allowing us to publish their fantastic 'Where I am From' poems which were part of last weeks homework. 

I was very impressed by the high standard of Kereru student's work. 

I am from Runnymede where they signed the Magna Carta.

From Nannies baking, flowers on the dinner table.

I am from 'If it's worth doing its worth doing well'

From devouring fancy birthday cakes.

I am from primary school.

A family of 5 and friends from around the globe.

I am from being happy and smiling all day.

I am from a box high up in the cupboard with newspapers from the day I was born,

From making snow angels in the crisp fresh snow.

I am from meat cooking, noodles sizzling.

 I am from mud and dirt the track.

I am from brother and sister playing outside.

I am from overseas and deep down South.

I am from 'The face on you could turn milk sour'.

I am from stories of great ancestors.

I am from boxes of cute old photos and videos.

From tasteful meat and chewy noodles.

I am from a small growing community.

I am from Nelson and Wellington.

I am from mum and dad, nana, uncle, poppa and aunty.

I am from fudge cake, ambrosia and raspberries.

I am from mum's perfume and the park next door.

I am from 'what I get I get and I don't get upset'.

I am from my favourite things and I shake it off.

I am from the pool and Richmond Mall.

I love you the mostest and the morest.
