Haiku Poems

What am I learning?

*how a Haiku Poem is structured

*to create a text using structure with growing confidence

How can I make sure I am successful?

*I have used descriptive words

*I have painted a picture in the mind of my reader

*My Haiku Poem is constructed with 5 syllables on the first line, 7 syllables on the second line and 5 syllables on the 3rd line

Activity description/steps:

1. Watch the YouTube clip of places around the world and what they used to be like and what they are like now as a result of Covid-19 (NZ is at the end). If you want you may like to watch this with your family.

2. While you are watching, write down what you see, what you hear and how it makes you feel

3. Revise what syllables are: Syllables are parts of words that we can count out by clapping. How many syllables in the word cat? 1. How many in the word burger? 2. How many in your name?

4. Watch this video about writing Haiku Poems

5. Write a Haiku Poem in response to the YouTube clip about what the world looked like while we were all in lockdown, safe at home

6. Share this poem with your famil.

7. Present this poem in any way you would like, write it out, illustrate it, pop it in a slide, record your voice, you choose and have fun! Share your published poem on your Class Dojo Portfolio.

(Note: If you want to you can choose something else to write your Haiku about)

Beginners Beatboxing

What am I learning?

*to understand that vocal sounds can be used percussively

*the basic building blocks of beatboxing

How can I make sure I am successful?

*I have experimented using my mouth to make sounds

*I have tried the “mmmmake” pattern

*I have tried the boo,tsi,kaa pattern

Activity description/steps:

1. Make a sound with your mouth -any sound at all!

2. Now try making rhythms using the word ‘make’.

3. Did you ever eat something and think it’s delicious? Pretend you just ate your favorite food.” Use your mouth to make a “mmmmmm sound.

Two sounds together can be enough to create a cool rhythmic pattern! “Make, MakeMmm Make, Make, MakeMmmm”

The video tutor introduces us to three sounds using the words: boo, tsi, and kaa. Can you practise these sounds? Make sure to take the vowel sounds away like the tutor does!

Can you experiment and come up with your own beat boxing track? We would love to see & hear your ideas.

Record yourself performing your own beat and share on your Class Dojo Portfolio.
