Limericks

Limericks

This week in literacy we have been looking at limericks. A limerick is a 5 lined rhyming poem. The first and second line have to rhyme, then the third and fourth line have to rhyme. The final line has to rhyme with the first and second line. I found this activity pretty easy. I did find it a little bit difficult to make up my own poem though. Here is my google drawing about limericks.

South Korea is a part of east Asia and has one of the most heavy guarded boarders in the world (North and South Korea boarder) For more interesting facts check out my next blog post coming soon.

Toaster

A toaster is a machine that heat up some foods. Most people use the toaster for breakfast to make toast. Which is bread that is kind of cooked.

A toaster looks like a big square with two thick cuts in it. They can come in all shapes, colors and sizes. Some are red some are white. The lever on it is like a big oval. There are four buttons on the top which control how it cooks like if it is a crumpet it will cook in differently to how it cooks bread. There is a little twisty dial that controls how long the bread stays in the toaster. There is a button you can use to pop you're toast up.
