My Migrant Poem
We traveled across the seas,
To see the gum trees.
We came in to our new house,
Where we saw the silky pocket mouse.
This house wasn’t the best,
So we went on a quest.
And we found a little cottage,
However with less advantage.
Our kids were young,
And suddenly the phone rung.
They said we had to leave,
We were filled with grief.
So we left Australia,
And went back to Mongolia.

before they did. That’s right they left, sorry about the confusion. Dad’s not going to be late coz he
already left” said George. That’s when I rushed in Matthew Cooper 5M

Once Zelda was a young, determined, strong-willed but timid girl. She lost her family and
her house at the age of six and woke up in the company of a ten year old boy she didn’t knowand she didn’t know where her parents were. After that she had to walk for hours and hourswith no stops at all with this boy she barely knew.
Then Zelda was older, determined, strong willed and brave girl. She was taken in by a
woman called Genia, who looked after her and Felix and gave them new identities so thatthe Nazis wouldn’t know who they were and kill them. Zelda, now Violetta, wasn’t afraid
of anything, including Nazis. She wanted to kill all the Nazis and when she was caught shefought back because of her fiery spirit.
