If.....

Every evening we have been doing reflections on the day with a theme whilst we have been out here, so far Mr Moran discussed "Journey" Miss Mitchell, "Risk". Miss Bateson, "Encounter". Joe Plumb "Wealth and Poverty" and my turn last night was on fear.

After stating my having students discuss fears I asked each tribe to rewrites paragraph of the famous Kipling poem "If...." As it is about overcoming fear, and here is the result, 

If you can wake from all your fear

And in the morning feel the burning sun

The warmth shall see them disappear

Then look around you, you have won

If you where afraid of rats or mice

Or whatever creates your eclipse

Now we're not saying you'll find them

Just follow the sun on all your trips

----------

If you can lose someone you love

And keep your head up high

If you can stand way up above

And dare to touch the sky

If you can let a spider crawl

And ensure that you do not scream

Then you can stand u tall

And action your every dream

----------

If you can meet without judging those around you

And hold their hands as others do

If you can poo without blocking up the loo

If you can hold a sloth and monkey too

Then you will have a fab time in Peru

----------

If you can stay in the Amazon, daring Maleria

You'll get used to dodging the mozzies

We can all agree that it won't be much scarier

We'd rather by by the pool, chilling in our cozzies.
