There are many different styles of poetry that our students have the opportunity to learn and each grade level has a specific style they are focusing on.
All grades also displayed beautiful “Poet Trees,” trees designed by teachers and placed outside of classrooms to hold the creative poems of our students. Each class had the opportunity to publish their work on our PYP Poetry Walk which is currently displayed on the sidewalk by the track.
Our students also hosted a poetry café in each PYP classroom where they took turns reading their poems to their parents while enjoying some tea and pastries.
为了让孩子们感受语言的魅力,增加学习语言的兴趣,PYP部门举办了诗歌周活动。各个班级表现得都非常活跃,也做出了最大的努力来完成。
通过这次活动,学校希望学生们能够更好地理解和鉴赏英文诗。在诗歌周,老师针对不同年级的学生布置了不同主题的诗歌创作,包括藏头诗、自由体诗、图形诗还有俳句诗。每个年级还在教室外面布置了诗歌树,诗歌树上结满了孩子们创作的果实。学生们在诗歌周活动中的所有作品也在走廊里一一展出。
学校还邀请了家长们来参加此次活动!在各个班级里孩子们朗诵自己创作的诗歌,大家都看见了孩子们的进步!下面是四年级Vee老师的原创诗歌!
Outside so beautifully
Long live Poetry”
-Miss Vee Class 4.1
Our first grade classes have been focusing on acrostic poems. An acrostic poem is a type of poetry where the first, last or other letters in a line spell out a particular word or phrase.
The most common and simple form of an acrostic poem is where the first letters of each line spell out the word or phrase.
This was a great opportunity for students expand their vocabulary express their feelings about different experiences and topics.
Daniel Grade 1 Class 2 “My favorite part of poetry week was learning to use the dictionary and painting my poem on the sidewalk. I hope others can enjoy my poem”
一年级学生的作业是藏头诗。学生们先选好一个单词,然后以这个单词的每个组成字母为首,开始每一句的创作。
藏头诗可以丰富孩子的词汇量,一(2)班的Daniel说“诗歌周活动让我学会了用字典查单词,还可以在短诗旁边画上我喜欢的图案。期待别人也喜欢我写的诗!”
Our second grade team has been using prepositions to write poems. Prepositions are words used before nouns to form a phrase that modifies another word in the sentence (in, on, under).
These students wrote beautiful poems about their passions in life. James from class 2.3 expressed his love for golf in this beautiful poem!
二年级学生的作业是以介词开头创作诗歌。介词用于名词前,来表达事物的位置关系。学生们用介词开头的英文诗来表达生活中的所见所闻。二(3)班的James创作了一首有关高尔夫球的短诗。
The third grade team is working on acrostic and shape poems. To write a shape poem, you must choose an object (animal, car, food) to be the subject for your poem.
Draw a simple outline of its shape on paper. Jenney from class 3.2 shares this awesome acrostic poem.
三年级学生的作业是创作图形藏头诗。首先要选定描述对象,然后画出它的外形。下面是三(2)班Jenney的藏头诗。
Loop-de-loop clouds
Oh no! No rain without clouds
Uh oh! No more rain
Don’t go away clouds
-Jenney
Our fourth grade classes studied several forms of poetry including acrostic, haiku and free verse poems. Haiku is a traditional form of Japanese poetry.
Haiku poems consist of 3 lines. The first and last lines of a Haiku have 5 syllables and the middle line has 7 syllables. They worked on using different parts of speech to increase the strength of their poems. These students also used acrostic poems to tie into their current unit on challenges, risks, and opportunities that children face worldwide.
Love tree, tree is beautiful
Who like a big tree?!
–Class 4.2
四年级的学生们学习了藏头诗、俳句诗和自由体诗。俳句诗是日本的古典短诗,由3句17音构成一首诗,首句5音,次句7音,尾句5音。学生们还通过藏头诗来表达当今世界儿童所面临的挑战,风险和机遇。下面这首是来自四(2)班同学的杰作!
This week was meant to teach students about poetry and to give them an opportunity for creative expression. Students really enjoyed playing with the English language and the different styles of poetry. We hope to make this a regular spring event in PYP in the future.
通过这周的活动,学生们加深了对诗歌的理解并完成了自己的创作。学生们都非常喜欢这种学习英文的形式,对不同类型的诗歌也产生了浓厚的兴趣。期待在以后的每个春天,PYP都会举行诗歌会活动。
