Collaborative Poetry- Tuakana Teina


Last week, our Social Positive Purpose Group worked collaboratively with the Year 3 students to create some poetry. The aim was to teach the juniors about the poetic devices that the seniors have been using in their poetry. It was great to collaborate and learn from each other!

When I feel Excited By Nikita and Sitara 

When I feel excited 
I bounce off the walls 
When I feel excited 
I explode excitement 
When I feel sad 
I burst into tears 
When I feel sad 
I read a book 
When I feel sad 
I slam the door 
When I feel nervous 
I freeze into a ball 
When I feel nervous 
I shiver with scaredness 
When I feel hangry 
I screamed angrily 
When I feel loved 
I get happy and my heart bursts


Childhood Tracks by Soma and Nina 

Hearing tui waking me up in the morning 
Hearing the teacher talking to my class 
Hearing kids and me playing at playtime 
Eating toast in the morning 
Eating orange for lunch at school 
Eating pizza for lunch 
Drinking water in the afternoon 
Drinking orange juice 
Drinking fizzy drinks at home 
Smelling pizzas cooking in the oven at lunch

Anger by Oscar & Charlie

Anger 
It flies through our head 
like a bullet 
Causing happiness to scramble away 
Making everyone grumpy

Childhood Tracks by Ethan Gigi and Oli 

Smelling delicious flowers 
Smelling pollen in the flowers 
Hearing tui sing loudly 
Hearing beautiful getting pollinated by bees 
Eating delicious KFC 
Eating the burning pizza 
Feeling water on your face 
Feeling the fresh breeze on my face

Love By Charlotte and Cara

Love is form of relationship 
Flying through the air 
as its formed 
Love is a red hot heart 
Burning through
The soul

Childhood tracks- Sam and Mastani 

Hearing my Dad screaming 
Hearing my little brother throwing dishes on the ground 
Hearing seagulls stomping on the roof 
Seeing my neighbours jumping on the trampoline 
Seeing seagulls flying past the window 
Seeing harakeke bending in the wind 
Eating chocolate caramel goody-goody-gumdrop ice-cream 
Eating pancakes with chocolate and raspberries 
Eating tacos with guacamole and black beans

  1. Hello!
    I am a graduate student from Washington state and absolutely loved reading your poems. There were so many descriptive words used, and I felt like I got to know the student's personalities through their poems. So many emotions were conveyed through the different poems, it was really amazing!
    Thank you for sharing - you are all great writers.
