Hello Bloggers!
Welcome back to my blog.
Today's blog is yet another SLJ blog post!
For those who don't know, the Summer Learning Journey (SLJ) is a set of activities that you can complete to earn points. You can also earn points by commenting. If you earn enough points, you could be up to win some super cool prizes!
Today's activity asked us to create a Haiku about Summer.
A Haiku is a traditional japanese poem that consists of three lines. Haiku's are written about a certain topic, idea or theme. The first sentence must have 5 syllables; no more, no less. The second 7 and the third 5 again. You can find the activity on the SLJ blog.
I enjoyed making my poem! I generally enjoy writing, including poems. I have also written Haiku's before. I also like using descriptive language in my poems and writing.
Have you written a Haiku before? About what?
Do you enjoy writing poems?
What kind of poems?
Enjoy!
Kia ora Mia,
ReplyDeleteMy name is Fiona and I'm from the Summer Learning Journey.
I really enjoyed reading your beautiful haiku poem - ka pai! My favourite line was when you wrote 'the light dancing at the window' because you used the writing technique of personification. Great work also writing a description about the Summer Learning Journey and an in-depth description of the task.
This year I wrote haiku poems with my year 7 class - we had so much fun! Another type of poem I really enjoy writing is cinquains, they also have 5 lines. Have you heard of cinquains?
Keep up the great work over the summer. I can’t wait to see more of your blogs soon!
Great work.
Fiona (SLJ).
Hi Fiona, thanks so much for commenting on my blog. I have some memory of hearing cinquains before, although, I've never written one. I mostly like rhyming poems since I have a lot of fun thinking of different words and phrases.
