Here are some poems from one of the sessions I ran at Elmfield Primary a couple of weeks ago. I did several sessons including, reception/yr1/yr2, year 3/4s and Yr5/6 - every child in the school!
Diifferent workshops for each group.
The Reception class made this during the day I was there after the workshop with me -haiku and origami jumping frogs:
--------------------------
Haiku Poems by children in Year 5/6 at Elmfield Primary School, Newton Aycliffe, County Durham.
This class had a story-telling session from Little Onion all about the Master Poet Basho and were also introduced by Little Onion to Ukiyo-e - Japanese woodblock prints before going on to write their own haiku in response to prints. The children learnt about the 5/7/5 syllable structure that haiku in Japanese follow and then went beyond this to study the western haiku form that very rarely follows such a pattern. It would be interesting to see what pictures other children or adults might make in response to these very imagistic poems.
at dawn
people are setting off
to another place
Sean O`Hare
a lady is reading
a letter from her boy friend
long twisted branches
Wenzday Chappell
heavy wind
people are struggling
to get home
Eden Newby
bare trees
walking from the shops
all the way home again
Adam Sheehan
three ladies
with no shoes
the blue night
Rhiann
distant mountains
as we row through the water
fish jump to meet us
Lauryn Bennett.
on the cliff
over the waters
distant trees
Jordan Hymers
water splashing
wave forming
in the river
Jake Ward
in the jungle,
animals are fighting,
cats killing
Bethany Jade Carlyle
everyone in the house
is looking around
I carry rich people.
Tiffany Young
fishers in canoes
a train passes by
puffing out smoke
Craig Burke
the white moon
in the blue sky
long trees
Courtney Cant Plaskett
candle light
I imagine skeletons
in the rain
Channon Nixon
the parade
fills me with joy
beautiful kimonos
Cameron Woodcock
the feel of fear
a man has just killed someone
with a sword
Callum Francis
people are walking
through the bitter snow
birds fly
Callum Robb
a train driving past
a big mountain
it is day time

amazing!
you're doing a fine job, LO.
A haiku primer. These are all great. Congratulations to the teacher, the teaching and the pupils - those who have been taught and have learned so well. Wonderful. Keep on. Another series like this might convince me to finally abandon 5/7/5.:)
Thank you so much Polona and Borut.
I will send your comments on to the children.
