We have been learning to write different forms of poetry. Have you ever heard of a Bio Poem, a Triolet, 5Ws Poem, Haiku or Diamante? We have now and are really enjoying publishing and sharing them. Here are a few examples of a Seasonal Haiku. It is a 3 lined, unrhymed Japanese poem with lines of five, seven and five syllables, respectively. Poems of this nature are usually light and delicate in feeling and are often written about nature.

Eden writes…
beautiful blossoms
blooming quickly in springtime
so glamourously

Jack writes….
snow and rain dancing
winter rains rain heavily
snow caps rolling loud

Stella writes…
spring time is pretty
covered with coloured flowers
pretty pretty spring

Nicola writes…
winter snow falling
down from above bit by bit
covering the trees

Room 10 is having a great term. Mrs Pahl is loving being the teacher while Mrs McRoberts is away. We have studied about the Anzacs. Did you know that Mrs Pahl’s grandfather fought at Gallopoli? He was very badly gased but he survived and lived til he was 101 years old!!!! We have been learning about Road Safety and being a responsible passenger when travelling in cars and on buses. We loved making Choc Chip cookies for our mums for Mothers Day. This week we are practising for Choir and looking forward to using the new laptops in the Computer Suite.
