We just had our first parent / teacher meeting for StoneHouse Academy. Here are the poems the students presented to their parents. We hope you enjoy watching these video clips. The words to each group's poems are written below the video.
SAY NO TO
DRUGS – Class 4
“Hey Nick. Come
take this. This is east weed”. Sniff, sniff! Wow, I like the feeling. A common
conversation between two kids. But is it for real? Here’s the drill. Avoid it,
it kills, impairs your judgement, creates a false impression about you.
Alcohol is
not water, this liquor. Therefore it doesn’t make you better. In fact it will
ruin your future. You can drink milk it’s much healthier. Embrace sober advice
from your parents and teachers. Make good use of them to the latter.
Cigarette
smoking will surely buy you a casket. You will never see your grandchildren. Your
lungs will be like a rotten egg. They will be literally saying, “I’m on my
bitter end”. Cancer will also be a close friend. Miraa chewing will lead to
insomnia. You will never concentrate when the teacher is in darasa. Sleep will
be consuming you like fire. Bad friends will also be a common future.
Young men
shun away from drugs and alcohol. If you want to have a better tomorrow. If you
want to be someone that we can follow. If you want to be a great hero! This is
our motto:
Avoid drugs!!
Be safe!!
UNITY FOR
QUALITY EDUCATION – Class 2
[A 'jembe' is a hoe, a 'panga' is a machete. These are tools used in the 'shamba' which is a farm.]
My mother,
my father, give me a jembe and a panga. My jembe and my panga is my book and my
pen. Unite with our teachers for my academic excellence.
My teacher,
Mr. Evans, I need quality education. But not ‘bora elimu’…
Please sir,
Unite with our parents for my academic excellence.
EDUCATION
IS THE KEY – Class 1
Education is
the key. A key to many things. It’s through education that I become a doctor,
that I become a pilot, that I become a teacher. Father, Mother, give me
education. Education is the key. A key to many things. Thank you.
EDUCATION
– Class 3
Oh! How
meaningless it is without education. Education for my future. Education to
serve others.
Life is
meaningless without education. My fellow pupils, let’s aim higher. Let’s aim
higher, and make it in life.
Parents,
join our teachers, help us fulfill our dreams. God is on our side.
Thank you.
[Sadly, there's no video for this one]
POEM 1 –
Top class (kindergarten)
I have a
little bed just for me. Dad is too big for it. Mummy is too big for it. Puppy
is too small for it. It is just for me.
POEM 2 – Top
Class
Thank you,
God, for giving me eyes to see, ears to hear, nose to smell, mouth to talk, hands
to write, legs to walk.
OH DEAR MUM
– Pre school
Oh dear mum,
for nine months, you have carried me. I was warm and I knew no harm. Thank you,
Mama. You are so dear to me.
SONG –
Pre-school
Father
without you who will care for me? Mother without you who will cook for me?
Thank you
Father for your care.
Thank you
mother for your love.
Thank you.
