Poppy Cinquain Poem

For the past couple of weeks our writing group are learning about poems and the subject was Anzac, because it was Anzac day a few weeks ago. This week we are looking at Cinquain poems, I didn't know what they were at the start  but I like them, they're simple, creative and fun.

The thing I found the hardest was nothing because it was easy and simple those are the things that make this poem great. The thing I found the funnest was making the poem because again it was simple and I could finish it faster.

If you don't know what Cinquain poems are well you came to the right spot. Cinquain poems are poems that contain nouns, adjectives, verbs, synonym and 

short statements. For some reason my 

words formed a tree.

Anzac Diamante poem

In writing our writing group are looking at poems. This is the second poem that we have done this term, it is called a Diamante poem. A Diamante poem is a poem that has a only one noun on the top, two adjectives on the second line, three verbs on the next line, four nouns then you do the same but the opposite way. Three verbs, two adjectives and one noun forming a diamond.

Our writing group did that but we had to do it about Anzac day. The hard thing I found about the activity was to find all the nouns for the poem, for some reason I found that part the hardest it would usually be the easiest because it's just names. The thing I found best was decorating it because, I draw my own pictures and I think they look good. I drew pictures about the things I put on the poem for example I put a grave on it. The thing I found the most interesting was how it the poem looks. So some times the poems don't look like a diamond but that doesn't really matter, the only thing that matters is making the poem good.

       

War memorials

This week our reading group read a story about war memorials. Next we had to do a activity about war memorials, we had to use a website that would let us see all of the was memorials in Christchurch, and we had to find each different type of war memorials. I really enjoined doing it we also learned to use maps so that's another good thing, but anyway I enjoined it because it was fun finding the war memorials. But the hard thing was the exact thing it was hard finding it, because there were loads and loads of them it was still fun though so it didn't matter. The only thing that mattered was me finishing it. That's it bye 

haiku poems about Anzac day

At reading our reading group are learning about poems.

The first poem we tried is haiku poems, haiku poems are poems which have five syllables on the first line, for the second line seven and to finish it off five.

So haiku poems are all about syllables but we had to base it off Anzac day, that's what we have to base it on for three weeks. The thing that was hard for me was basing it off Anzac because I don't know much about Anzac because I'm from another country.

The thing I found a the most fun was making the pictures because I do a lot of art on my computer 

I'm use to things like this so it was really fun making poppies. That is it bye bye.  

Soldier uniform

Today in reading my reading group did an activity about soldiers uniform, we had to put some squares that had some text in it saying what the gear that the soldiers is wearing. For example we put the hat in the section that the hat was connecting to and we had to do it with everything that the solider was wearing.

I really liked the activity because there were some thing I didn't know what they were called and I like the picture of the soldier. The hard thing about the activity is I didn't know all of them so I had to search what it was. That's what I did in reading today sorting soldiers uniform bye bye.

Earth and beyond

In inquiry our class learned about the layers of the earth. It was really fun doing all the activity about the earth, this one is about the layers of the earth and it was fun learning all about the earth. 

The thing that I felt was the most difficult was what vital information I had to put in the text,(referring to the activity that I'm showing you write now) because there is way way way more stuff about the earth, but I only had a limited amount of things to put in the text boxes and that's it bye.
