Poetry Readings

Again, a little delayed but here is a medley of some of the poetry work we have done; poems being read aloud by famous authors and Rm 14 sharing their own poetry.


What did you think about poetry at the start of this unit?

What have you learnt about poetry?

What did you enjoy?

Which poem do you like best from the video?

Can you recommend a poet or type of poetry to other intermediate age students?


Measurement

A bit late but here is a very short film showing some of our measuring practice.

What did you learn during our measurement unit?

What did you get better at?

Why is this an important skill?

Legoman - USA

We watched this film about Nathan Sawaya - Legoman.

He said lego is "The toy that never ends".  Do you agree or disagree? What other toys could be described liked this?

People said he was "crazy to make the leap" from lawyer to lego artist,especially as this involved a big drop in pay.  What do you think?

When does a lego model become art not just lego bricks?

Which is your favourite model? Add your thoughts and answers as comments below this post. If you like check out advice on how to write quality comments on Rm 15's awesome blog.
