MEASURING VOLUME
VOLUME is how much space is inside a closed shape, like a box.
Estimate how many cubes will fit BEFORE you put them in. Write it down and then check afterwards to see how good your guess was. Change the size of the box to test yourself.
MUST DO: At least 5 different box sizes.

Go to this site and read at least 3 poems. Tell us which was your favourite poem and why?
POETRY IS FUN
Mary had a little lamb
its fleece was white as snow
and everywhere that Mary went
the lamb was sure to go!
You all know lots of nursery rhymes off by heart. These are simple poems. Over the next couple of weeks we will be reading lots of different kinds of poems and finding out which poems each of us enjoy most.
WHAT DO I NEED TO DO?
-
READ POEMS: You will need to read at least 5 different poems and choose 3 verses that you really like. You might like the way the words roll off your tongue when you read them dramatically (like a famous actor/actress); you might like the pictures that the words paint in your head; or the poem might make you feel something when you read it (either sad, thoughtful or happy.) It might make you laugh out loud if it’s a silly poem or just plain ridiculous.
-
WRITE DOWN YOUR FAVOURITE PARTS: Write down at least 3 different verses (from 3 different poems) in your My Favourite Poems Book
-
DRAW THE POETRY PICTURE: Draw what you think that verse would look like if you were the illustrator

You must start your comment by acknowledging at least one of your peer’s choice of poem and you must be positive. (for example: I like John’s poem because it is about a surfer and that is my favourite sport OR I like Jane’s poem about the pig. It really made me laugh when it spoke like a person.)
