Who is Team Wairere? (A Metaphorical Poem)

image

Students in Team Wairere have had fun recently, sharing our creative, metaphorical writing with two other classes in New Zealand. This experience, called, “Get New Zealand Writing,” was sponsored by Warehouse Stationery, and over 3000 classes across New Zealand took part! We learned to write some comparisons using figurative language. Please let us know what you think of our metaphor poem.

Team Wairere is an off-road jeep, strong learners taking risks when learning gets challenging.

Team Wairere is a cherry tree, each student a shiny, healthy fruit.

Team Wairere is the Elephant Park, fun, enjoyable and energetic.

Team Wairere is a multigrain club sandwich, varied fillings, cultures and personalities.

Team Wairere is a patched jacket, inclusive and warm. When we make mistakes, we patch up our learning.

Team Wairere is a titanium submarine, diving deep in a sea of goals.

Team Wairere is a jungle bromeliad, nurturing wild ideas.

Team Wairere is an art gallery, painting the school with creativity and knowledge.
