Here are some wonderful Acrostic poems written by Kānuka students last week to start off our poetry writing unit this term. Luckily, the tamariki have a lot of poetic writing skills already after our Descriptive writing learning last term! An Acrostic poem is a poem in which the first letter of each line spells out a word, name, or phrase when read vertically. What are each of these poems about?
Messi is the best because he looks like an
Elephant because he is the goat with Ronaldo and they
Scored the goal and they scored the Champion’s League
So they have to be the goat
So I need to practice to be like the goats.

Pushing through the forest of North America
At a waterfall the cubs run to their mother.
No, black panther is a type of panther.
Tall trees and the fall make a habitat for the animals.
High above head eagles swoop and dive.
Er, er, and alligator snaps at the cubs.
Rescue is on the way. Mum charges at the gator and claws out, the panther bites the gator’s neck.

Kites, kites. OH NO DON’T CHASE THE KITES!!!
In the bed you jump to snuggle. Aww so cute.
Tight claws a bit sharp for a little animal like you.
Trying to climb. Umm…you’re a bit too small.
Eww hair ball.
Not very happy about you scratching the curtains.

Digging in the sand. “Don’t get dirty!” I called out.
Obviously, he was going to get dirty.
“Get here now! You need a bath!”
