We're immersing ourselves in Matariki (Māori New Year) at the moment. We'll post more about that later. Right now, we want to tell you all about the diamante poems we've created about the Matariki stars. Diamante poems are shaped like diamonds (obviously). To get this shape there is a word limit on each line. Because we have a limited number of words to choose from, we have to think very carefully about the words we choose to use. We brainstormed a huge list of amazing verbs, nouns, and adjectives that relate to stars and Matariki, and used these within our poems. Some of us even managed to include language features like similes and alliteration. It was fun publishing and decorating our poetry. We're really proud of them. Mrs T has put some on display in the library and hall foyer to share with our school community. You could have a go at writing your own diamante poem in the comments below!
