I haven’t seen this amount of blood in my whole life. My heart is beating rapidly. I’m staggering and trembling. I just want to take a seat and rest, Nevertheless I must keep going for the people who have fallen. I cannot give up, resting isn’t an option. I wonder where Aunt Miriam is, I hope she’s okay. I’m so stressed that I can’t even shed a single tear. Passing through the cold streets with debris scattered everywhere. Buildings demolished and dismantled into dust. I’ve lost my gas mask which is unfortunate. This filthy air is making me light headed. The word “Death” flows through my head. I decide to find Aunt Miriam instead of bread, I’d rather starve than have to live with another death. Is she in the apartment? Or is she at work? My mind is scrambled, I don’t even know where I am, I can’t feel my hands and feet. I am walking about in pain, I stumble upon the apartment by accident. Was this a miracle? Or a dream. I bust through the doors of the apartment, glass shards pierce through my skin, I dash up the stairs finding our room, I sigh in relief to see Aunt Miriam laying under the dining table. I hug her and she cries out “Where were you?”

Sadness Poem
Sadness
Crying
Cold tears dripping on your face
Water and cold air
Crying
Tears running down your face
Like a cold gust of wind
You’re no one
Tears dropping out of your eyes
Into the ocean
Salty tears
Hu hu hu hu hu hu
You’ve had enough
Crying salty tears and sweat
Bitter feeling of guilt, depression and regret
Sadness is blue, a rainy day
Arlo’s Anger 😡
A collaborative poem written by all of Room 8. This poem expresses our feelings about anger looking through the eyes of ‘Arlo’ from ‘Arlo and the Orca by Monique Walker.’
Anger
Anger feels like letting your rage out
A clenched fist
Blood, Salty Sweat
Growling and yelling
Rough and hot
Like a red face
Anger smells like danger
Like Air
Shouting and screaming
Painful and hurtful
Madness and crazy actions of destruction
Like smoke
Burning coal
A fire raging and growing limitlessly
Anger is an emotion you want to show or not
It starts when we get upset about something
This week Monqiue, Stacy, Jessie and Katherine came to class and presented Monqiue’s book. We learnt that it is okay to cry, we have many people supporting us and life can be moody, stormy with waves of emotions but to remember the sun will always come back and shine.
We would like to thank Stacy, Monqiue, Jessie and Katherine for coming and teaching us about emotions!

Using Ones Conscience.
We make decisions according to our conscience. I have created an ordered process to help work through my decisions according to my Christian Values.
A New Start..
Standing by the gates of this school I see kids the same age as me everywhere. I smell a fresh aromatic smell coming out of lush plants from the garden they have in front of the entrance. They’re saying things that I cannot understand. I see a tall man behind a counter. He says Hello which I respond with a gentle wave. I feel confused. Kids are coming up to me and introducing themselves. I had a hard time understanding them but I managed. I introduced myself to the man. Finally the long journey to getting to safety has come to an end.
