DescriptionIn 2011 Maungatapu School's Room 13 (year's 2 & 3) wrote poetry in reaction to the Rena disaster. The poetry and posters appeared in a window display at Tauranga City Library.

Penguins struggling for breath seconds before the toxic black oil hits them.
People with shovels and buckets like pirates looking for buried treasure except its oil that was once not there.
The disgusting smell of sticky oil washed up on our beaches.
