CINQUAIN Tree tops Are amazing They wave at us today Such a beautiful time right now Thankyou HAIKU Matariki stars Shining so bright in the night Peaceful and so cool TANKA POEMS There at the river The trickling of the water The trees standing tall Swimming in the cold water Peaceful and tranquil moments Sitting at the beach Hearing all the birds chirping Swimming in the waves

There are ten fish in a fishbowl 3 swim away and 2 drown how many fish are left in the  fishbowl? Ten because fish can't swim away if they're in a fishbowl and fish live in water so they can't drown If a red man lived in a red house and a green man lived in a greenhouse than who lives in the white house? The president What gets bigger the more you take from it? A hole What goes up and never down? Your age What has teeth but no mouth? A comb What has an eye but no face? A needle What runs but never walks? A river what is black and white and red all over? a newspaper round and round the rugged rock the rugged rascals rot how many "Rs" are in "that"? none "THAT"

These  are  my cinquains I got inspiration from my sister always messing my room up and my dad always being a goof and telling really weird dad jokes cinquain is pronounced as ( sank N) In our class we have been writing  poems and  cinquains we also have been learning what syllables are. You can figure out how many syllables are in your name or your  sentence by clapping the words out Rochelle Is annoying She messes up my room I get mad and she gets sad Sorry My dad Is so funny He chases me around He starts laughing and I do too Cool dads

In term two I learned that… I was less nervous in term two. I made more friends. I learned that Whaea Kat gets very weird sometimes. I learned how to play some games. I learned the more days that I’ve been at school I've got more and more weird.

A moment in time i went to my crazy cousins birthday party she was turning three. I felt my heart pounding. I could see the huge cake and the amazing food. I heard yelling and screaming, I had a metallic taste in my mouth. All  i was thinking is “ why did i come to this crazy party”. I heard a screaming voice coming towards me and started hugging me. I said to her “happy birthday Natalia”.

We are learning 

Sitting in the hall i could see and hear the big loud drums. “Go miss Jones” i was cheering “why is it so loud I thought t o myself, I couldn’t smell or taste anything at all I felt my ears starting to ache very very badly Boom Boom Boom the mighty  drums roared, the good beat as everyone hit the drums it made my heart pound. "What's the time bro i don't know we all chanted". I hit the drum with the drum stick boom
