What's with poetry?

Poetry

We may not go out of our way to deliberately produce poetry everyday, but poetry can be found in what we write and how we speak all the time. From rhythm and rhyme, to sounds and images in words, you're probably a poet and you don't even know it (sorry, we couldn't help it). In this digibook, Matt from Sydney Story Factory explores the rules of poetry and when they can be broken, and how writing poetry might help you scratch an itch you didn't even know you had.

What happens to the rubbish we throw away?

In this primary science game you will meet four students eating their lunch. Each one uses or disposes of their plastic lunch bag in a different way.
