The final haiku we will be sharing is by Y8 Miya who has both accurately maintained the 5, 7, 5 haiku syllable count as well as incorporating nature, also typical of the haiku form.

A perfect message to sum up a year of learning. Well done, Miya! ⭐️

Y7 Abigail’s bailie captures the nerves all pupils feel when starting secondary school, but how quickly these feelings are forgotten when they make friends and adapt. Well done, Abigail! 💫
