Beautiful Poetry from Year 6 on their Taster Day
20th January 2018
As part of the Y7 taster days, students explored the art of writing a haiku in English. They went outside to collect words and images to turn into ‘pictures in words’.
Beetles
Dancing over rocks
Quickly and gracefully
In emerald green suits.
By Shreya and Jia-Jia
Bougainvillea
Papery petals,
Guarded by thorny soldiers,
Flamingo pale pink,
By Ellis and Myles
The Cricket
Moves like a slinky
Lurking like a tiny spy
Vanishes quickly
By Anayk, Liam and Amar
Mushrooms
Sprouting from the grass,
Dusty brown umbrellas grow,
Lonely and ignored.
By Jasmine and Tanvi
Aloe Vera
Rough on the outside
A green heart on the inside
Please don’t mess with him.
By Cornelia and Yusrah
Dragon Fly
Soft and gentle wings,
Glitter like a butterfly
A lacy diamond.
By Priya and Amos
Flamboyant Flower
Dances on the grass,
Red and sparkling with dew drops,
Soft like a tutu.
By Daisy and Matilda
Pink Beauty
Swaying in the wind,
Glittering dew in the sunshine
With its darkened heart.
By Vihaan, Nicolas and James
The Tree
Cupped like wine glasses
Lime green leaves move like water
Tall, smooth and quiet.
By Praveen and Harmeet
The Beetle
A tiny black shell
Waddling across the table
A shiny black jewel.
By Nathan and Belize
Butterfly
Floating like a balloon,
Colourful patterns glitter
Shining from its dress.
By Miriam and Kulthuma
