Te Manu Tukutuku poem

Hear, see, smell, touch

I feel speechless at how big the new school is.

I hear the sound of children getting excited over the new school.

I see new and updated furniture as I walk in.

I smell that new building smell.

I touch the soft carpet like walls as if they were sheep.

Overall I am overwhelmed at how the new school is so different.
