EOTC Week

What a great week of learning outside the classroom we had last week!  It was exciting and exhausting exploring a variety of venues and new experiences.  Cyclone Pam wasn't too mean and we were able to continue with most planned activities.

Monday did force us inside, and we postponed our orienteering exercise until Friday.  We wrote some interesting haiku poems about the storm instead.  These are really tricky to write as we had to count the syllables in each line.  The first line has 5 syllables, Second line - 7 syllables and Third line - 5 syllables.
 Here are a few of our creations:

Kingtides - by Josh L

Cyclone, thunder storm

King tides damaging houses

I hate thunder storms.

Thunder Storm - by Brad

Raining very hard

Waves get bigger over night

The storm kills people.

Storm - by Neve

Lightning hitting down

Thunder bouncing from heaven

King tides crashing trees

Cyclone Pam - By Elise

There could be a flood

Pouring rain, thunder, lightning

There are big puddles

Cyclone Pam - By Liam

The storm gets bigger

Waves get bigger over night

King tide, dangerous

Cyclone Pam - By Hagen

Dangerous King tide

Cyclone Pam can break houses

Hail hitting the ground

Excellent work everyone!  Impressive syllable counting.
