Haiku Poetry

A haiku poem has a Japanese poetic form. The theme of these types of poems are usually inspired by nature. The form of the poem goes as followed: line 1 = 5 syllables, line 2 = 7 syllables, line 3 = 5 syllables.

The three of us collected branches, leaves, flowers, etc. from outside, and created pictures out of these things from nature. Then, we wrote our own haiku poems to go with the artwork. Here is our final projects:

Pictographs

The definition of a pictograph is a symbol or image that represents an idea. Ancient people like cavemen, the Egyptians and natives used pictographs to tell a story and communicate. Here we have created our own!

Codes

Codes

We were looking through the book "Cracking Codes" by Diana Kimpton when we decided to create our own codes to communicate with each other. It's fun because it is a secret that no one else will be able to understand except for the people who know the code. First we wrote messages to each other on paper, then we went on the computer and created our own codes using "error" messages.
Can you figure them out?

1.

2.

3.









4.


5.




6.



Answers: 1. Code: every word is backwards 2. read every second letter 3. read first word on the first line, then first word on second like, continue. 4. letters are in correct order but spaced in odd places. 5. read the last word of every sentence. 6. first letter of every word.

The Adventure of Beza and Luna

The Adventure of Beza and Luna

A little over a year ago, a litter of puppies were born. Two of them were named Luna and Beza. Out of their brothers and sisters, they liked each other best. But one day, on the boys' birthday, the two puppies were kidnapped! The boys', Kuba and Kacper, and their friends Jagna and Jagoda, decided that they wanted to keep the dogs.
Poor Luna and Beza were soon to be separated. They were taken to a car, unsure of where they were going. Luna, when she was at the boys' house, didn't know where Beza was. And Beza didn't know where Luna was. They made it their mission to find each other.
Luna ate through the door and escaped to go find Beza. Beza used her nose to open a window to escape and go find Luna. Luna sniffed trying to find Beza, but she couldn't, so she followed the sign to Wrocław. Beza did the same but followed the sign, going the opposite way, to Mędłow.
When Luna arrived to Wrocław she couldn't find Beza anywhere because Beza was in Mędłow.
Kuba wanted to go for a walk with Luna, but because he couldn't tell the difference, he took Beza for a walk instead. From that day forward, Beza was known as Luna and Luna was known as Beza. Little did Luna and Beza know that their owners were best friends, and they could see each other as often as they'd like.

THE END.  

Metaphors & Similes

We made a Scratch project about Metaphors and Similes.

Metaphor- One thing is another. My sister is a kangaroo. She loves to jump.

Simile- Comparing two things (using like or as) . My sister is like a kangaroo. She loves to jump.

Scratch project:

We also did some paper activities by creating our own metaphors and similes.

We had a lot of fun!
