Cinquain Poem

LI: To write a cinquain poem to describe an anime character

This week we have been exploring the world of anime and manga. Our challenge today was to write a cinquain poem to help us strengthen our connections to description that describes our favourite anime/manga character. A cinquain poem has 5 lines. Each line has a different purpose. Line 1 is a noun which is a name. Line 2 has 2 adjectives taht describe the noun. Line 3 has 3 verbs that end in ‘ing’ and describe the actions. Line 4 is a noun phrase which is a group of words (not a sentence) that go together to describe the noun. Line 5 is a synonym which is a word with a similar meaning to the noun. 

 

Hello/Goodbye Poem

 LI: To paint a picture with my words

Lockdown

Hello lockdown Goodbye, early morning wake up.   Hello lockdown Goodbye, seeing my friends and playing with them at school.  Hello lockdown Goodbye, getting lunch ready for my little brother and sister before school. Hello lockdown Goodbye, Big Macs and McChicken from McDonalds.  Hello lockdown Goodbye, rugby training.    Hello lockdown Goodbye, netball games, and my team's winning streak. Hello lockdown Goodbye, cold and early mornings. Hello lockdown Goodbye, school uniform, and uncomfortable shoes.  Hello lockdown Thank you for letting me sleep longer in the morning.

• This morning Miss Sheena joined our online Meet and taught us how to write a Hello/Goodbye poem. This poem shows the contrast between things lockdown made us leave behind and the things lockdown gives us the opportunity to do. 

• I enjoyed this because I thought aboutn the things lockdown took away. And gave me.

List Poem

LI: To write a list poem that describes a topic by painting a picture with your words.

What is a Million?  A million is the time I've smelt the wonderful food my mum has prepared for us. A million is the amount of friendships I have made during my life. A million are the families I have met on both my mum and dad's side. The times I've watched my siblings grow and learn.  The times we've sat as a family at the dinner table The times I've seen the sun rise in the morning as I get out of my bed.

Today we wrote list poems about a topic we connected with. Our challenge was to use desacriptive language features to paint a clear picture with our words.

I enjoyed this because it made me think about a million good things that have happened to me.
