Poetry Anthology

This term Jackson’s Studio has been writing lots of different poems. Over the last week we have been publishing our poems on a website called Storybird. On Storybird we turned our poems into a book called Poetry Anthology, because an anthology is a collection of poems

Here is my book which my haiku, diamante, acrostic and two sense poems. Can you guess which poem is which?




I hope you enjoyed reading my poems. What one was your favourite?

Maths

For our blog post this fortnight I will show you how to work out what 5.5m-3.27=?
Here is the question.
"Dirk was wanting to enlarge the long jump pit. The existing pit measured 3.27m long and he needed to make it 5.5m long. How much does he need to add on?"

I did these ways to solve it.

Equal Adjustments:

5.5m-3.27m=?
+0.03m +0.03m
5.53m-3.3m=2.23m

Reversibility:

5.5m-3.27m=
3.27m+?=5.5m
3.27m+0.03m=3.3m
3.3m+0.7=4.0m
4.0m+1.5=5.5

0.03 + 0.7 + 1.5 = 2.23
