Dinosaur Haiku's.

 

Room 6 students were challenged to produce a 3-lined Haiku as an optional extra for homework last week. 

 


Haiku poems date from 9th century Japan to the present day. Haiku is more than a type of poem; it is a way of looking at the physical world and seeing something deeper, like the very nature of existence.


  Haiku Format:  

Line 1: 5 syllables describes the subject.    

Line 2: 7 syllables tells of the action.        

Line 3: 5 syllables tells about thoughts or feelings.

Here are the results:

Room 6 reviews
Magician, Vas Kolovsky, and his
‘Be Bright, Eat Right’ performance!

Last week, on Friday, Vas Kolovsky came to Puketapu School.  He came to perform magic and tell us about being healthy.  The whole school got to watch.  Boy, he was funny!  Vas Kolovsky did his clever and inspiring show in the school hall.  In one bit he said a tomato is a vegetable, but it’s really a fruit.  Every night on our dinner plates we should have grains, dairy, protein, fruit and vegetables.  I really liked the bit Vas Kolovsky turned a bunch of flowers into butterflies.  All the pupils at the school were so amazed, except some boys.  They said that they knew some of the magic.  It was probably one of the best shows I’ve ever seen!

Written by Amy

Last Friday, when Room 6 had concluded our Body Inquiry, Vas Kolovsky – a magician – came to our school with his ‘Be Bright, Eat Right’ performance.  He introduced us to ‘My Plate’.  The five foods on the plate were: fruit, veges, proteins, grains and dairy.  He also taught us about vitamins and minerals.  Vitamin K stops you bleeding, Vitamin C helps you see in the dark like a cat, and Vitamin D protects your skin.  My favourite tricks were ‘the box on fire’, ‘the rabbit’, and ‘the hat’ trick.  He was here to teach us about healthy eating!  Vas was daring, clever, witty, confident and sparkly.  In the show he said a tomato was a vege!  I think he needs to work on that one a bit.  Even we know anything with seeds is actually a fruit.  It was an energetic show!

Kadi and Daniel got to assist Vas on stage with some of his tricks!
