Hello from our teachers and students

Hello from Grade 2/3 M.B

As this term draws to a close we have been looking a poetry in class. We have done some work around free poetry, taking a descriptive paragraph and cutting it up and changing words to make it flow and sound interesting. We've also been working on Haikus. A Japanese form of poetry consisting of three line containing 17 syllables in a 5,7,5 pattern.

Here are some of our efforts.

I smell the roses

As I walk through the garden

I feel the suns rays.

Christmas eve is here

tomorrow is Christmas day

I can't wait for it.

Lachy Wallace-Wood

The trees sway with me

Like a butterfly's two wings

We sway through the light.

The tiger ate it

I saw the tiger eat mum

That was very bad.

I spill the big beans

I was being really mean

I was quite sorry.

My favourite time

Of day is when I poo

It feels really nice.

The cold autumn leaves

flew off the old tall rusty tree

calling out freedom.

Of the lamington's beauty

Lights up the room.

Charzad is the best

he breathes fire and has wings

Japan made Haiku

It is a turtle

A sea turtle eats sea grass

Winter is frozen

Eating insects under ground

An echidna eats an ant

In the warm spring breeze

The reflection is glowing

By the sunshine.

And heard a knock on the door

Someone is coming.
