5E's Japanese Haiku Poetry

This week in celebration of International Week, Year 5 have been studying Japan. We first learnt about various aspects of Japanese culture and created a fact file. Following this, we wrote Haiku poetry about what we had discovered.

Below is Rachel's Haiku poetry. Can you work out how many syllables are traditionally found on each line?

Her first poem discusses the tradition of sitting under cherry blossom trees, whereas the second describes the superstition of the daruma dolls upon which wishes are made.

Cherry blossom trees,
Growing in emerald fields
That I sit under.

A wish may come true,
The second eye tells the truth,
It is up to you.
