Poetry this week

Volcano
Magma,
Melted, molten rock,
Like soup that boils,
In a crock...

Beneath the Earth,
It rolls and roils,
Beneath the Earth,
It turns and toils...
Pressure grows,
Magma escapes,
Blows through holes,
Of different shapes...
Mountain cones,
Ring of fire,
Volcanoes blow,
Ash flies higher!
Magma flows,
Becomes hot lava,
Cools to make,
A place like Java...
Magma comes,
From underground,
And flows in lava,
All around...
Listen now,
Don't interrupt,
When volcanoes blow,
They do erupt!

Your Challenge:

  1. List the facts about volcanoes that you have found in this poem.
  • Magma boils in a crock.

Know Someone Who Can...



I know someone who can
throw a chip in the air and then catch it in her mouth.
I know someone who can
type so fast that she can almost do it with out looking.
I know someone who can
swim the whole length of a pool.
I know someone who can
hold their breath under the water for 37 seconds.
I know someone who can
rub there stomach and tap there head at the same time.
I know someone who can
read a whole chapter book in 3 hours.
I know someone who can
skip with a skipping rope for 6 minutes and 10 seconds.
I know someone who can
drink a litre of water non stop.
I know someone who can
drink a whole can of coke and get real hypo.
I know some one who can
do the bendy bridge on there back
I know someone who can scream so loud that I can pop my ear drums.
And that someone is
ME!
