Opposite day

Today we took a break from speech writing and we wrote some poetry instead.  We have been learning about an 'Oxymoron'.  An oxymoron is when you put two or more words together that are impossible or don't make sense, like 'Freezing Sunshine', 'Hot ice' , 'Loud whisper' or 'Quiet scream'.  We also looked at a famous poem called, 'Two Dead Boys' that is full of lines that don't make sense like 'One bright day in the middle of the night'

We also made lots of 3d shapes.  We used like faces, edges and vertices.  We also found out that you can cut a prism anywhere along it and you will still have the same shape.
Thank you to Thomas and his mother who baked Room 11 lots of yummy cakes for morning tea!  We all enjoyed eating them.
