Are you looking for a one-off activity to do with your class on National Poetry Day? Then, this KS2 Haiku Poems Activity could be just what you need!

Use this carefully staged presentation to introduce children to haiku poems from Japan. Explain their key characteristics then encourage them step by step to create one of their own.

In no time at all, children will be writing poetry about the seasons, nature and their feelings. Display their work on the classroom wall for an extra bonus.
