It's not just a...

 Hello team of 5 million! 


This week we've had some incredibly motivated and independent students completing learning tasks at home. One of our writing tasks was to watch this clip about Stick Dude

We were then challenged to write a poem about a cardboard box (or another object) and the potential it has for playing with. The goal was to be as creative as possible!

Once we had written our poems we then had to practise performing it before recording it. 

Special shout out to Karolina who has very kindly allowed us to share her poem on the class blog as she is having some technical difficulties posting it on to her own blog at home.  


My Empty Pringles Box


It is not just an empty box!

It is a mega phone!

It is a unicorn horn!

It is a telescope 🔭!

It is a tower!

It is a mini sky tower!

It is a musical instrument!

It is a sword ⚔️!

It is for storing my little things!

It is more than JUST a Pringles Box!

IT'S MY FAVOURITE BOREDOM BUSTER! 



Karolina has done a fabulous job of recording her poem and you can check out here performance below.

 


We challenge you to have a go at writing a poem like Stick Dude and Karolina - it can be about anything you have lying around at home or in your backyard (If your stuck for ideas you could write a poem about a old sock, a tin can, or an old tyre!). Remember, the more the creative, the better! Write your poem in the comments below!
