Cinquain

This week we have been learning about writing cinquains. We have done an amazing job at learning how to write them and giving it a go.  When you write a cinquain you have to follow the order of how to write it. 

A cinquain is written like this:
First line - 2 syllables 
Second line - 4 syllables
Third line - 6 syllables 
Fourth line - 8 syllables
Fifth line - 2 syllables

Here are a selection of the cinquains we wrote. 

Night comes
the waves crash in 
the lighthouse guides boats in
the sun we see is going down
Good night
Teowai

Lighthouse 
there is a light 
I can see that rough waves
the sun we see is going up
hello
Persia

Lighthouse 
that guides people
it flashes on and off
the sun is going down ready for night 
good night
Niwa

A light
from the lighthouse
that is a guiding light 
for ships that travel through the night 
good night. 
Xavier

Good morning 
waves are coming 
darkness is coming down now
the sun we see is going down 
sunset.
Savanna

Night time
the light goes on
the light sparkles like diamonds
the light guides boats into the shore
lighthouse

Puppies
it is my ball
I will get the ball first
This is my ball do not snatch it
Don't snatch!
Shana

Puppies
two and a ball 
fighting, playing, running 
pups are playing with a round ball
food time.

Play time
Friends forever
Fighting over the ball 
Small dogs are playing with a ball
puppies.
