How the Huia died out!!

 How the Huia got extinct, here's a poem to tell you how:

Huia  - Bill Manhire

I was the first of birds to sing

I sang to signal rain

the one I loved was singing

and singing once again

My wings were made of sunlight

My tail was made of frost

My song was now a warning

and now a song of love

I sang upon a postage stamp

I sang upon your coins

but money stepped towards me

and stole away my voice

Where are you when you vanish?

Where are you when you’re found?

I’m made of greed and anguish

a feather on the ground

 

lived among you once

and now I can’t be found

I’m made of things that vanish

a feather on the ground.

Trustworthy, Not Trustworthy!!

This week we have been learning about trustworthiness. 

This slideshows us about one girl who is trustworthy, and one who is not.

Trustworthiness is when someone is constantly trustworthy. My friends are all trustworthy so I know I can trust them.

 

Autumn leaves Haiku!!

 This week we have been learning about Haiku´s. 

And I chose to write about Autumn leaves, because it is Autumn!😁                                                                The haiku has three lines the first  and last lines have five syllables and the middle lines have seven. 

We went on a walk around the Domain  for inspiration, I put most of my decent ideas in my poem [haiku].   Some people said that leaves were sort of like fallen snow, and some other people [like me]                           said it was satisfying and crunchy.

I hope you like it, tell me in the comments if you do!

Recount about Refugee Walk!!

 W.A.L.T Write a Recount.

On Monday 10th May, the Senior syndicate  went on a refugee walk. As we walked to the Red Zone and every time the teacher [Mr Gray] blowed his whistle, we had to take cover, as in danger was coming. We did that until we were at the Red Zone. Then we made huts out of raggedy sheets, twine etc.. Then we played something were there was land mines everywhere and your buddy was blindfolded, and you had to lead them to the finish line without touching them. Then we encountered the border cross and guess what they were saying/asking us. Then we had to eat soggy rice and I did not like the rice.
The Refugee walk was really fun but I wouldn't like to be a refugee!   

The Silly Singer!

 W.A.L.T write a limerick

This week we have been learning about limericks! I chose to write about a Silly Singer!

We learnt about the syllabus, the rhymes, ect. My favorite part was the rhyming, what's yours?;   Tell me in the comments section! Here is my limerick! 

What is a limerick?:

A limerick is a humorous poem of five lines. The first, second, and fifth lines must have seven to ten syllables while rhyming and having the same verbal rhythm. The third and fourth lines should only have five to seven syllables; they too must rhyme with each other and have the same rhythm.

Title:The Silly Singer

There once was a silly singer,

One day she swallowed a figure,

 

She went to the jungle, 

Then got in a jumble,

Then ran away from the picture!
