Here is a link to a Youtube clip that Room 6 really loves. We saw it on Mrs Grieg's class blog.

Here are some of our Haiku poems.
Haiku poems are from Japan, and they have this structure: The first line has 5 syllables, the second line has 7 syllables, and the third and final line has 5 syllables again.

Count out each line to make sure the syllables are correct!

Joshua's Haiku
Autumn leaves fall down.
The trees look naked and bald.
They look so pretty.

Ari's Haiku
Crunchy autumn leaf,
Rustling sounds under my feet.
Fallen from the tree

Cruz's Haiku
Starry autumn leaf,
Coloured red and very dark,
Feeling soft and rough.

Monique's Haiku
The big leaves fall down.
The leaves are different colours.
The leaves sound crunchy.


Miss Eyre had forgotten about this blog for a few months, but now we have remembered again! We thought we should tell you a bit about Ruma Ono. Here's how we describe ourselves:

"We are 5 years old, apart from Nesta who is 6." - Taiyo
"We work as a team." - Amelia
"We help each other and some of us have wiggly teeth!" - Ari
"We read together as a team and we treat each other nice." - Jayda
"We help each other and play with new people. We are gentle and don't punch or kick." - Nesta
"We work together as a class and we can make origami dogs and cats. We can do manga eyes together in Room 6." - Shaolyn
"We help people when they are sad and we play with them." - Blair
"We make new friends by introducing you to them and smiling. I have new teeth growing." - Kaitlyn
"We play nicely with each other." - James
"We are not rude when our teacher is talking." - Alex
"We play nicely with our friends." - Connor
"We aim high in our learning." - Brooke
"We be nice to each other and we don't fight." - Scarlett
"Mistakes are how we learn." - Oliver
"Room 6 loves running and cross country." - Cruz

As a class  we are learning about Japan. We have learned about the term "wabi sabi" which means finding beauty in things that are not perfect. We have seen this in autumn leaves which have fallen off the trees. We even wrote haiku poems about them! Miss Eyre will have to put some up online.
