We learnt about metaphors and wrote some of our own. We also studied a poem written by Iain Sharp, and used the structure to help us write our own poem.
Pod 2’s Iain Sharp Poem
Pod 2 is a giant bundle of enthusiasm,
wrapped in a tight rainbow of elastic bands.
Pod 2 is a flying fish, dancing across the surface
when all the other sea life is asleep.
Pod 2 is a lake, reflecting the world and
growing larger with the constant trickle of ideas.
Whenever we peep in mirrors, Pod 2 smiles gleefully back.
It’s encouraging.
Pod 2 is a double-decker bus, driving smoothly along the journey to success, and a bulldozer, pushing through work that needs to be done.
Pod 2 is a potato, ready to peel out information.
Pod 2 is an ocean, full of deep ideas.
Look there, and there!
Bits of rainbow confetti blowing from child to child.
I skip after them in delight, with arms wide open.
They might be Pod 2.
Our individual postcards, along with our poem and poster have been collected by the courier, and are on their way to Rotokawa School, in Rotorua.
We are looking forward to receiving our package from our buddy class, and learning all about them, too.
