“The Change”
“ It is a poem about the changes we have experienced in school this year and the change we will experience when moving to high school at the end of this year and how life is currently before the big change to high school in 2021.” - Tahlia Jones
The Year 2020
by Tahlia Jones | Poetry | Under 18 Although we fell, We cannot dwell
Some things went wrong, To list a few
On things that happened in the past, as grade six went really fast
Corona virus, home learning and online assemblies too We all got through it, With smiles on our faces
As we break away to different places, and meet lots of new faces
We had some good things too, just to say a few Sports carnival, fundraising and camp as well
We all belonged here at some point in our lives
Friendship struggles and good times, and when that bell chimes
As we learnt to strive, to achieving our goals Yes we will never be the same, As we will all change
On the 17th of December, we will always remember
We all know this year was very tough, as we knew it wasn’t enough
Our friendships and passions, kindness and fashions
To knock us down, or make us frown
As we say goodbye to teachers’ friends and principles too
This year was special enough, to make us quite tough
As we take our own paths and live our own lives We will always remember from the 3rd of February to the 17th of December
For what we might face in a strange place, Like high school
Grade six was the best year of Our Primary school lives
