Camp - Lake Okataina


2017 Tauriko Year 5 & 6 
Camp at Lake Okataina


Room 15 have discovered a love of haiku - a Japanese poem that consists of 3 lines with a syllable pattern of: 

Line 1 = 5 syllables
Line 2 = 7 syllables
Line 3 = 5 syllables

Over the past few weeks we have been challenging our own 'inner poets' and have been writing many haiku. We have noticed that when we read a haiku that uses descriptive words it helps create a picture in our mind about what the poem is about.

* Your challenge: Using the image above or drawing on your own personal camp experiences, publish your very own camp inspired Haiku. 
We can't wait to read them!

    5 aquamarine water
    7 kayaks glide through the surface
    5 water looks like glass

    Standing in the bush
    Dark cold night wrapped up warm
    Beautiful glow worms

    Kayaking with friends
    Playing cricket on the field
    Investigating

    Glittering glow worms
    Glistering water like glass
    birds and more pork's creping

    Green trees glittering
    The grey wallabies bouncing
    Drizzling down with rain.

    Glow worms sparkling
    A scary burma trail
    Wallabies jumping
