      Hi Harley. I hope you are keeping well. I have a few ideas. Perhaps Hope could be in Spring with plants and flowers springing to life, or maybe seen in light, or perhaps looking positively at the future. Maybe take some time outside in the garden if you can, and just pause for a few minutes and have a think of some ideas.Have fun! Mrs Bacon 🙂

    I think the poem is about hope. I think it is a message that everyone can hope. My favorite Line is “Hope shines in the darkness flees” because it makes me think that one day everyone will hope.

    I am going to start drawing and writing a poem now.

    We estimated each jar and put them in order
    To find out I filled the smallest and then passed the water to the next jar to see if it would fit.
    I then used a jug and filled the jar then poured into it to measure
    My jars
    360ml / 0.36L
    270ml/0.27L
    260ml/0.26L
    260ml/0.26L
    230ml/0.23L

    Needs 360ml to complete her drink

    I think the poem is about the fact that if you are in a hard time stay positive and look for The bright side of things.
    My favourites line is “hope shines and darkness flees” for it is really inspirational and powerful.

    That even in the hardest of times you should not feel down and blue and you should stay positive.
    My favourite phrase is, “The seed becomes a golden flower of pouring light,” because it makes you feel like the world isn’t just encased in darkness but can be in light for such an insignificant thing to us, a seed.

    Poem

    It can seem there is nothing,
    but nothing is never true,
    for all the hardships that have to come there is still some hope in you.

      What brilliant vocabulary you’ve used to explain you favourite phrase – ‘encased’ really encompasses the meaning, well done.

      Your poem has given me goosebumps – what insightful words Isaac, i am truly touched by your poetry! Can you write some more?

      It can seem there is nothing,
      but nothing is never true,
      for all the hardships that have to come,
      there is still some hope in you.

      top tip: I would split the final line so it is a 4 line verse and then the rhyme is clear on line 2 and 4. Excellent!

    2. The poem is about hope and I think the message is ” believe that things can get better”.
    3. My favourite line in this poem is ” and hope will give us power”.

    Maths

    I found out all of these by filling drinking cups to maximum and then pouring that into a measuring jug to find out the contents of the drinking cup.
    I estimate that my everyday water bottle is around 600ml.
    Real Answer = 580ml.

    I estimate that a drinking glass holds around 250ml.
    Real Answer = 402ml, I think this is because of the shape of the glass which instead of just a plain cylinder, a glass sort of expands outward from a cylinder.

    I estimate that a mug holds 150-200ml.
    Real Answer = 310ml, I think this is because the mug looks small due to its width but the height is never really noticed.

    Water Bottle 1st Place
    Drinking Glass 2nd Place
    Mug 3rd Place

      Great estimating and measuring Isaac.
      You were very close with your water bottle – I wonder if that’s because you use it everyday and so you are very familiar with it.
      Good job.

    1. I estimated the jars from smallest to biggest.
    2. I filled the smallest jar with water and passed it along to the biggest to see if it would over flow .
    3. I measured each jar to see how much it could hold.
    here are the results

    335ml-0.335l
    280ml-0.280l
    240ml-0.240l

    The seasons because it is talking about walking through the snow in winter, a tiny seed that flickers is spring.A pouring light, a gift is summer, and bright feathers lifting is autumn.

    My favourite line is “The seed becomes a golden flower.”

    I think the poem is about ‘hope’ because it says hope mostly in every line that you read. This poem really inspires me and gives a good felling of Hope. My favourite line was ‘that makes the world a maze’. The reason I chose that line was it makes me think that the world as really a maze……….ENGLISH………..

    2. It is about joy and staying positive throughout the darkest of times so we can see a bright future for us.
    The message is” whether you’re feeling sad or down, hope will over come that depression and fill it with happiness.”
    3. my favourite line is” pouring light, a gift.”
    I’m going to draw hope.

    Jaguars – They are found in Neotropical rainforest; they still live in the forest of the Caribbean Coast.
    They look like large cats with spots.

    2. I think the poem is about hope.the massage is about that hope will win and darkness will flee.
    3. My favourite line is “The sead
    becomes a golden flower a pouring light, a gift.

    Hope shines around us,
    But darkness is darkness it’s, Just a fear black and miserable.

    Every body doesn’t like it,
    It’s horrid it’s just a dream, people scream out of their, lungs.

    But me I like hope and I believe, in myself no matter what!

    THERE WILL ALWAYS BE HOPE.
