Today, I completed a task in which I made a Kenning of an animal that reminds me of summer.
First, I read about kennings and saw some examples on students blogs.
Second, I thought of an animal that reminds me of summer which was a seagul.
The reason I chose seaguls was because I see them everytime when I go to a beach.
Third, I thought of some words that reminded me of a seagul.
Next, I made a google drawing and wrote my poem. I added a background and shaded the text.
Then, I made a screencastify while I was reading my kenning.
Lastly, I added my video to the blogpost and made sure to change the setting to anyone with link.
I learnt that kennings are like a riddle. Each line in a kenning has only two words and these words are joined using a hyphen.
An interesting fact is that kennings decribe something without saying what it is. Kenningts were originally used in Old Norse and Angle saxon poems.
I liked doing this Summer Learning Journey task because I got to learn about kennings that I didnt know before.
Kia ora Sahil!

As usual, you’ve posted something really fantastic. Pai mahi! I’m glad you enjoyed the task, your poetry is getting stronger as well! I agree, seagulls are a symbol of summer, but they’re also a menace! Have you had much chance to get out to the beach yet? Also, I didn’t know Kenning poetry has a Norse origin! Thank you for sharing that!
Looking forward to seeing what else you post!
Ngā mihi,
Chris
