As part of our poetry writing unit, we learnt about the structure of haiku poems. We found out that they are a japanese form of poetry, usually about nature, that follows the format of:
Line 1 = 5 syllables
Line 2 = 7 syllables
Line 3 = 5 syllables
Here are our favourites that we wrote today...
Seashell Bees
Lots of collecting Yellow and black stripes
Pink, blue, purple on paua Makes yummy honey in hives
Seashells can be white Has painful stings, OUCH!

Bulf calf Rainbow
Dangerous to kids Comes after rain drops
They grow really fat and big Colours float across the sky
They go to the works Need some sun again

Kowhai Winter
Yellow flowers bloom Ice hanging from trees
Only found in New Zealand Skifields open in winter
Kowhai is the best Schools are closed for snow

Stags have velvet skin Horses like to eat
Hunters shoot them with their guns We like to read them

Stars Lightning
Twinkling all night long Hot flash in the sky
As bright as the moon and sun Usually in huge storms
Watch them glow all night Can destroy houses

Shark Clouds
Massive predator White fluff in the sky

Known to kill humans Clouds float across skies
Toby Te Aroha

Stars glow in the sky Saint Bernards are huge
Up in the sky there are stars They always eat lots of meat
Twinkle in the night Brown, black, white they are

Funky stripes form in the sky
Find the pot of gold
