Learning outcome: To record the experiences of West Coast children from the past 100 years in order to create a History of West Coast people during times of difficulty and challenge - this will be turned into a book to be kept in local museums and at Shantytown.

COVID19
It was 2019 and this all began overseas
When people in China started to sneeze
It spread to our country very fast
We really didn't think it would last
It's now six weeks into lockdown, and this is no breeze.

No uniforms needed and that's what I cheer about
We sit on our couch and log into google hang out
We can't go to our grandparents for a weekend stay
Or we can’t go kayaking at our local bay
I can't wait to go back to school to see my mates so I will have no pout.

    That’s a marvellous poem Sam, and you covered all the main points too!
    I enjoyed reading it very much and it’s super cool that it will go to Shantytown and museums for people to read in the future!

    So, now you are back at school, Sam! Is it fun seeing your friends? When I look out of my office window it is lovely to see so many children happy to be with their friends again!
    Great poem.
