Our Poems

We have been expressing ourselves by writing poems. We have displayed them on our wall.

Poetry

We have been expressing ourselves through writing poetry.  We intended to learn about the structure of poems, starting each sentence with an upper case letter, publishing our work neatly and expressing our own special thoughts and ideas.  We have done this.

Our Poems

We have been learning how to write poems.

We will know we have done this when we have done the following:

Followed the structure
Started each sentence on a new line
Used puncuation correctly
Expressed thoughts and ideas that are special to me

Here are some of our poems.

Courtney
It means great and pretty
2004
It is like a beautiful flower
We went roller blading
My gran
My gran showed me how to knit
2 weeks ago when I stayed the night
Courtney
I will never give up

Sophie
It means honest speedy and bright
1196
It is like a river
It is going to Hamner
It is the memory of my pet puppy
When we bought her
Sophie
It means I believe in doing my best and never giving up

Milly
It means delightful playful and glad
2001
It is like luscious ripe grapes
It is going to Australia
It is a memory off my step brother
Mum and Dad taught me to walk
9 years ago
Milly
It means all my lovely family

Dathan
It means joyful, brave honest
5432
It is a river with crocodiles sand snakes
It is going camping
Its a memory of my Nana
Who taught me to be honest
When she was alive
Dathan
It means to never quit

Name Poems

We have been expressing ourselves through writing poetry. We have been writing name poems about ourselves or other people. We had to remember to follow the structure, use adjectives, put upper case letters at the start of the line and make it neat so people could read it.  It also had to make sense.

Colour Poems

We have been expressing ourselves by writing poems about different colours.  We expressed how  colours make us think of smell, taste, looks and hear.

Afraid of the shaking

By Luke C

Earthquake

Earth gets hit bad
After shocks are very little
Roughly attack is super strong
Tight is shaky but also breaks
Hits down very hard
Quake is what makes the shake
Unexpected earthquakes surprised
Attacks everyone hurts glass
Kit with lots of medical things
Earhquake very long than 10 seconds


By Ryan

Earthquake

Energetic, power
After shocks, afraid
Rumble I heard it in the distance
Train tracks bending
Houses, buildings getting demolished
Quake
Unable to get power
Afraid of the shaking
Keeping safe
Emergency

Emergency busy
Aftershocks still hitting
Road came up and bumby
Terror everywhere in Christchurch
Hard earthquake
Quake damage houses
Unexpected earthquake
Aid kit people buying
Kats terrified running away
Electricy off

By Dathan

Earthquake

Emergency kit needed
Ambulances everywhere
Roads cracked and flooded
Terrifying noises
Hearing glass break
Quick to get out of bed
Upon my roof breaking bricks
Afterwards sand boils exploding from the ground
Keep at home to stay safe
Electricy gone out

By Caitlin

Cody

I hear glass breaking
I smell fire in my room.
I touch glass on my feet, it cuts my feet
I taste sweat
I feel sad.
My home is going to be demolished because it has cracks in it.
This is  my house.
