Winter Learning Journey - Poem

Let’s imagine that you were on the first waka to arrive at Shag Point. You had never been to New Zealand before and you had no idea what to expect. Write a poem describing how you would have felt when you arrived in New Zealand. Would you have been excited or scared? I would have felt pretty nervous, I reckon…

Feeling afraid and scared

All the mens surrounding me had a beard

I didn't know what to do but walk

I could hear whispering and talk

I walked step by step slowly

I had no friends I was lonely

All I said to the people was Hi

And then when we had to go I said Bye
