Metaphor Poetry

We have been learning about literal and figurative language in class recently. Students have looked at different types of figurative language and have discussed when and how they might be used.
Then we focused on metaphors in more detail. We have written a poem about us as a class, using metaphors to describe us.
Students are now writing their individual metaphor poem - so look out for that on their blogs.

Room 6 is a Toyota Hilux racing through tough terrain,
flicking mud at other cars with all 31 kids in the cab and
Mrs Hancock driving.

Room 6 is a pine tree with each branch representing
a person climbing through the challenges.

Room 6 is the local pub bringing everyone together
and SHOUTING free drinks.

Room 6 is a lamb and beef sandwich with Watties
tomato sauce, NO 50% less sugar and sausage and
bread to top it off, NO cheese.

Room 6 is a Hunting and Fishing singlet and
shorts with red band gumboots and an ammo belt to TIE
us all together.
