YOUNGER READERS' SECTION As indicated in previous issues, young people are welcome to send in contributions in art and language for this section. These poems were written by primer children of Pakotai Maori School. A little tree And a big sun, And the tree is crying Because the sun is too hot and the hill is laughing. Mary Tautari, P. 4 I am a black-backed gull, I am flying up to the sun, A little boy shouted ‘Look up in the sky!’ Jo-Anne Grace, P. 4 In snow A bird sings Like a chirruping sparrow, As white as white can be Like snowy white. Mary-Jane Rudolph, P. 4 The birds are dancing and singing And one bird is counting In the big, old, tall tree. Mark Rudolph, P. 3 Huia Slater of Homewood, Masterton, describes a well-known event.
