Children amaze with original poems

The JFB Poetry Class for February 28 saw 25 children attend the class.

“We are building these citizens to become accomplished writers. The plan is to help them focus on making school a success and achieve or improve their writing skills. I have a lot of faith in these children; they show a spirit of dedication and agility,” said Mrs Faradiba Morton.

“They possess the potential to become great leaders. I believe that we are on the right path with them. I urge the community to support our children at the Jozi Book Fair this year in September. Investing in the future of this country starts with the children and this will only happen if our community supports them to achieve these dreams. If their dreams come true, ours will too. We must dismantle poverty with education and that is how you become truly free,” she added.

Wesley Chitunda, (9) – Education

Educations is the secret of getting ahead

Education is the key to my future

I have learned to love school

Education will take you on other levels

Reading makes to dream of different places

Places you have never been

Education is my power

Without this I will be nothing

Zane Van Scalkwyk (10) – All about me

Food, playing soccer, reading

I am proud of myself

And I love my friends

I love playing soccer

And Reading is my game

Shaun Zambara (10) – Stop Crime

I hate crime, if it doesn’t stop in time

It’s not really fine, crime is bad

Everything around it makes me sad

Crime shortens my life line

Stop drinking ugly wine

You behave just like a swine

Crime is not meant for this life of mine

Stop crime

Nqobile Mathebula (11) – Love

I love my body, I love my space

I keep my life on track, a clean me

I love playing netball, I love dancing

I can sing and I can play
