That Was Summer - Summer Learning Journey Day 28.

 Kia Ora/Hello,

Today for our last activity, we had to make a poem called "That Was Summer". I enjoyed this activity because I love to write and I like to do poems the most, I like poems because you can write/express  whatever you want. I found nothing hard because I thought this activity was fun and easy to understand! I like how my poem turned out and my favourite lines are the first 2! I think they can really relate to Summer especially when I said "Remember the lukewarm waves circling around your feet like a whirl pool" because sometimes the water may be lukewarm.

We had to fill in a google drawing that was already set for us to write a poem! The poem was a 5 Senses Summer Poem which basically has 5 different categories which are, Touches and Textures, Smell, Feel, Sight and Sounds! I think anyone can make their own 5 Senses Summer poem!

Have you made a poem before? Are there any other poems that you do and want to recommend others? Have you heard about a 5 Senses In Summer Poem before?

Here is the google drawing for this activity:

Summer Sounds Poem - Summer Learning Journey Day 16.

 Today for our 1st activity we had to make a poem about Summer sounds and add a video of us recording the noises we hear. I enjoyed this activity because I like to write poems and I love Summer. I found nothing hard about this activity expect choosing what would go next in my poem because I couldn't think of anything to write! We first had to read a poem for inspiration.

In my video the main things that I heard were birds chirping, the wind flowing by and trees rustling. Tell me what you hear! What do you hear outside of your house? Do you have any native birds that you hear near your house? If so, what type of bird do you think it is? 

Here are my google slides for this activity: 

Summer Haiku Poem - Summer Learning Journey Day 5.

 For our last activity we had to make a haiku poem about summer! I loved doing this because I like making poems, mainly about summer. A haiku poem is a poem with 3 lines, the first line, 5 syllables, middle line, 7 syllables, last line, 5 syllables. 

I like making haiku poems because they are so easy and fun to make. My poem was based on summer and I got inspiration from a photo!

Here is what I made:

I Am From Poem.

I Am From.

I Am From

A wooden house with a single sized backyard, no garden but silk green grass and an old black welcome door mat,

With grey, stone and concrete steps as hard as plaque.

I Am From

A warm kitchen with warm smells,

Chicken drumsticks with gravy, Cheesy garlic bread and pepperoni pizza,

Shelves lined with utensils and white plates

A fruit bowl filled up with juicy fruits

Cake tins filled with vanilla cheesecake topped off with a strawberry.

I Am From

Long drives to Auckland,

Rainy days snuggling up in blankets,

Drives to the packed park.

Board games, Chess, Card games.

The sound of: Lorde, Taylor Swift, Meghan Trainor and Freddy Mercury.

I Am From

Folding up the washing, drying the dishes, Bringing back the rubbish bins, Hanging up the washing, doing the dishes, getting the bathroom/shower squeaky clean.

“Do the vacuuming NOW!”

“Do NOT drop your school bag here!”

“Come dry the dishes NOW!” 

“Hurry UP!”

“Clean up your mess NOW!” 

“Oh my… Clean up after yourselves!”

“Turn off the TV!”

I Am From

Kala and Nirmal and one sibling.

The living room is the centre,

The car is the centre.

Stories told, Lives shared.
