Literacy Week - Poetry

29th Feb 2016

In Literacy Week we learnt about Haikus! We learnt that Haikus are a form of Japanese poetry used to capture a moment in time.

Haikus are very special because they always have the same structure! The first line always has five syllables, the second line always has seven syllables and the last line also has five syllables!

To help us remember this special pattern we examined this Haiku;

I am first with five

Then seven in the middle

Five again to end. 

We worked in groups to create Haikus for the different seasons of the year, some of which can be seen on C2K NewsDesk! Then we created works of art about the seasons to form a picturesque background for our Haikus about nature.
