Mr Clark’s Year 8 History class are learning about Medieval Japan, which has also led to students writing their own Haikus. Haikus are a type of poem, consisting of 17 syllables arranged in three lines of 5, 7, and 5 syllables respectively. The Haiku first emerged in Japanese literature during the 17th century.

Inspired by our new visitors over in the Ag block, the Haikus below are a few examples written by our very talented Year 8s.

Scream

There is a baby cow
It chased Miss Pudney around
And made her scream loud

Michael Myers

Cattle

Majestic cattle
Essential for milk and beef
Praised in India

Danwel Urmenita

Calves

They munch on grass
Their little wet noses twitch,
So sweet and little.
Madison Litzow

Cows

Brand new baby calves,
Moo-ing ever so loudly.
Yearning for some milk.
