The Year 2020 Tahlia Jones Poem

“ 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.”

The Year 2020

by Tahlia Jones | Poetry | Under 18

Although we fell, We cannot dwell On things that happened in the past, as grade six went really fast As we break away to different places, and meet lots of new faces We all belonged here at some point in our lives As we learnt to strive, to achieving our goals Yes we will never be the same, As we will all change We all know this year was very tough, as we knew it wasn’t enough To knock us down, or make us frown This year was special enough, to make us quite tough For what we might face in a strange place, Like high school Some things went wrong, To list a few Corona virus, home learning and online assemblies too We all got through it, With smiles on our faces We had some good things too, just to say a few Sports carnival, fundraising and camp as well Friendship struggles and good times, and when that bell chimes On the 17th of December, we will always remember Our friendships and passions, kindness and fashions As we say goodbye to teachers’ friends and principles too 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

Grade six was the best year of Our Primary school lives
