The lovely Saime Jung at Twinkl, where teachers create and share inspiring resources for students, has compiled a list of 15 favourite poetry blogs, which includes Science Rhymes! She also asked “Why do you think that learning poetry is so cool?” Poetry has so many styles, forms and facets. Some sends our imagination into different situations, feelings and places. One person may connect with a poem in a way that makes them laugh or gasp, whereas others might find the same words deeply emotional.
What’s your answer this question?
We might say rhymes help us remember; poems create crazy ideas or that verses can be shared over and over again. What do you reckon to this suggestion for World Poetry Day?
Imagining a TARDIS by Celia Berrell
(Time And Relative Dimension In Space)What a wonderful toy
is the TARDIS!
It’s Doctor Who’s
little blue box.It’s bigger inside.
So much stuff it can hide,
from a skate-park to
clean pairs of socks.Owning
a magical TARDIS,
do you think it’s a
secret we’d keep?Or would that depend
on inviting some friends …
and whether
we’d need any sleep?With a
stay-or-go-anywhere TARDIS,
there are infinite things
we could do.It has so much appeal,
for a toy that’s not real …
let’s imagine instead
that it’s true!
This poem was inspired by an article called The Physics of the Doctor Who TARDIS box and was first published in Australian Children’s Poetry.
