In poetry class with Year 6 - Aga Khan Academy Nairobi - we learnt about Haiku Poems structure and the students had chance to compose their own Haikus. Have a look and enjoy just like I did!!

THE NEW STUDENT
Saw a new face today,
As silent as could be and,
Never knew their name.

THE WEIRD WOODS
Green day in the woods.
Creeping me out as it stays
Standing tall and proud.

Creativity,
It's never too much to have
In books and in poems.

Football shall not hide away,

ReplyDeleteDear grade 6R. I have read all your Haikus and I must say this is a brilliant job. You have demonstrated an excellent understanding of the Haiku structure. The varied topic range from your hobbies, insects, pets and general topical issues reflect the diversity and good understanding of Haikus. Your choice of vocabulary is good and you have the potential of developing it further through extensive reading. I have enjoyed reading your poems. I am so proud of all of you! Congratulations too to your English teacher Mr. Sammy for coming with such an excellent idea of a blog where you can express yourselves. Mr. Vincent
