Blake Virtual Reality

On Week 11 Monday, the Blake Foundation came to our school and brought some VR headsets along with them. They taught us why we shouldn't litter because it's bad for the ocean and the land. Using the headsets, We went under water to marine reserves like Goat Island. We also went to unprotected places where the rocks were covered in kina and they had eaten all the Seaweed. And our teacher made us a task about our experience. Here is my work.

Swimming

We could write about it in any way we liked but our teachers hoped we would use lots of describing language and our senses.

Then we had two choices. We could either use the poem as a template to write our own  poem of any style with lots of adverbs OR we could rewrite the poem as a haiku by changing a few words here and there and making sure we used some more adverbs.
