In middle school we love getting inspiration from the wonderful nature and outdoor areas we are blessed with at our school! 
This week, children have begun exploring syllabic poetry, focusing firstly on haikus. 
We knew that to write a haiku, we would need to focus on how many syllables we used in our lines. 
Children set off on a 'syllable search' finding as many words surrounding our theme as they could. The words children found were sorted into groups based on how many syllables each word has. 

Our theme for our haikus will be autumn. 

I can't wait to see what fantastic poems we will create by the end of the week.
