This term Room 9 has been learning about poetry. We have written 3 types of poems.
The first 1 was a haiku which has 5 syllables on the first and last line and 7 in the middle, for
example:

Snowflakes cold and soft
all are different sizes
falling from the sky

Then we wrote some cinquain poems which have a 1 word title, then 2 words to describe what it is then 3 'ing' words, a phrase about it and to finish it you write 1 word that is similar to the title, here are 2 examples:
Soccer

goal-scoring, saving, tackling
soccer is such fun!

After that we decided to write our own poems finding inspiration in school journals here is an example :
Summer
My feet sinks into the cool wet sand.
The sea glistens in the sun,
The wind blows a gentle breeze.
Summer has begun.
