IN light of the current Covid-19 pandemic, Bonzai Primary School learners were asked to write a poem to illustrate their true feelings about the pandemic and keeping themselves safe during this time.
One poem stood out to principal, Phillip Bosch.
“The HOD of our intermediate phase section brought Grade 7 learner, Surbhi Sahoonja’s poem to me, as I have a system at school where we reward learners for efforts in the classroom, especially if it is an assignment they had completed in class, where their own work and initiative come to the fore,” Bosch said.
He said he felt that it was a really good effort that should be shared with others.
Surbhi Sahoonja’s poem:
Gotta wash our hands
Gotta wash gotta wash
Gotta wash gotta wash
Gotta wash gotta wash your hands
YOU, gotta wash them right
Don’t give into germs without a fight
Use water that’s warm
And lots of soapy bubbles
These are your weapons
For preventing germs troubles
Don’t cut your time short
Your fingers – got between
It takes twenty seconds
To make sure they are clean
The reward is to be healthy
After all just takes a selfie
Twinkle twinkle little star
Look how clean my hands are
Soap and water, wash and scrub
Get those germs off, rub – a – dub
Twinkle twinkle little star
Look how clean my two hands are
In light of trouble we have today
There’s just a few things I’d like to say
Share your kindness and your love
It’s no time to be mean, push and shove
Hold on to your loved ones, hold them tight
Listen to the rules and do what’s right
