My haikus

Bright eyes and wet nose
Smooth coat, stroke only one way
Tongue lolling, out of mouth.

Gnarled body, green cloak
Secret hiding place for kings
And Squirrel Nutkin.

I felt myself fall
Sudden dark fell around me
Down and down I went.

Broad black and white stripes
Grazing on Africa's plains
Jet black tapping feet

Blowing strong and free
Spiral, spiral, down and down
Eye of hurricane.

Hello Everyone,
I've got the answer to the puzzle of how many coffees has Mrs Humphreys drank during her life.
You do how many days in a year which and round that to 360 and then times that by 6 beacuse she has 6 a day which is 2160 and then times that by 36 (because thats how long Mrs Humphreys has been drinking coffee) and then the answer comes to 77,760. So round that to 78,000!

During her life Mrs Humphreys has had 78,000 cups of coffee!


For Amys Haiku are the answers
1) A horse or a dog maybe
2)I'm not sure on that one.
3)I'm not sure either.
4)A zebra
5)A twister of some sort

I have got two Haikus:

Proudly striding out
Curling tongue and huge tall neck
reaches up to trees.

Plodding in the sand
With their huge humps on their backs
And their munching mouth.


For the coffe question I'm not sure I might be wrong but looking at Sam's answer I think he put 1160 instead of 2160 giving him the wrong answer. But I'm not sure Mrs Green so you will have to check.

Also I am really enjoying doing our paining work with the sea and the sunset in art.

Brilliant work girls!
Emily, your estimation of the Maths problem looks very reasonable to me- perhaps Sam needs to check his work?
Don't forget to collect your reward points!

PS What is the plural of haiku?

My Haiku poem:

Can have milk in side it
Fluffy coat, only has it for the winter
Black boldging eyes.

Emily's and Amy's poems are really good I think.

I think the picture of the sea is getting better every time we start adding little effects on to it.

Mrs. Green said...

Some interesting vocabulary Becky. Think about the number of syllables needed in each line...

Hi everyone the poems are great so far I've got some too.

Flying round and round
Beady eyes watching for prey
Swooping down and down

Slowly plodding round
Thick,hard,green shell to hide in
Eating all the veg

Thick fur for winter
Proudly stand to guard their woods
Huge versions of dogs

And is Amy's third one overboard?

Hello Mrs Green

This is my poem !

Spots apon it
Curly tongue to eat with
Balging eyes

Can you gess what mine is

Long body short fur
You could call it a sausage
I have one she's cute


They fall from the sky
When the sun is shining
It is beautiful


You like them one day
You absolutely hate them
Your ok with them

It twirls round and round
Your scared and frightened
Twirling and spiralling

There sugary and sweet
There bad for your teeth
Dentists say NO!

Haikus

Swinging in jungles,
Eating yellow bananas,
Glistening wide eyes.

Cold weather all year,
Suddenly snow falls slowly,
Childrens happiness.

Dark green slimy skin,
Slithering accross the floor,
Skin shreads now and then.

Silky silver skin,
Doing special tricks, so smart!
All humans love me.

Briony!!!

I'm not sure Mrs Green but I think that the plural of haiku or is just haiku again but it could be haikus.

Also I think all of your haikus are amazing. I can't wait to do more of our art work, swimming and pe and music tomorrow.

Hi here is my haiku poems
White sharp pointy teeth
Scaring people in the sea
Speedily swimming

Eight long slimy legs
Its favourite food is crabs
Squirts out ink when scared

Hairy long thick legs
It makes silky silver webs
Likes to eat insects

My Haiku:
Large white Arctic creature
Eats fish and can kill beluga whale
communicates by making hissing sounds

Suddenly I fell Down,Down
I saw black water everywhere
I thought where am I?

Strong winds all around
Icy cold water colder than snow flacks
Freezing,ice all around
