Scale of the Universe
Although we didn't understand what some of the smallest, and largest things were we enjoyed exploring the site!
We enjoyed it so much that we decided to use our literacy time to write poems based on some of our favourite things in the universe. (Inspired by an idea from Pie Corbett.) We worked really hard to think of imaginative descriptions, and we even included some alliteration and some similes and metaphors!
Here is our class poem...
In the Universe
In the Universe...
Droplets of mist glide gently through the calm, cold air.
My smooth, delicate teapot sits on a sunny windowsill, brewing hot tea.
The Angel Falls echo with the sound of splashes in the deep water below.
Pluto sadly reflects on his joyful memories of being a planet.
The sun shines like a precious, golden coin, brightening up everyone's day.
The stars in the Milky Way glitter like gemstones on a gorgeous necklace.
The children have all added their own poems in the comments section. Please read them, and let us know what you think!
