Figurative Language Crossed the Road

As part of our poetry study, we looked to make some amusing sentences to demonstrate our understanding of figurative language. Here are some examples:

Maria

Annie Alliteration aimlessly ambled across an amazing alliterated A road.

Maisie

As bright as a red balloon, the simile ran across the road. 

Bella

The rhyme took a lot of time to cross the road.

Leia

Bang! The onomatopoeia crashed into the sentence behind him.

Kai

Personification glared at Mr. Noun.

Ezmee

The hyperbole took hours to cross the road!

 

More Vector Drawings

This week, we've continued working on our ability to create vector based drawings. Some more examples are below:

Year Six Geography Success!

Last half term, Miss Hemingway planned a fabulous, engaging geography module and taught it to the Year Six children over 6 weeks. 

The children recapped knowledge from other years: countries and capitals of the United Kingdom; the seven continents of the world. 

The children then learnt new skills: 8 figure grid referencing; studying physical and human features of Central America (linked to our Ancient Maya history topic); comparisons of Central America to the UK. 

The children showcased their new knowledge by working in groups to create a poster of a chosen Central American country. They then presented their posters to their peers, practising their oracy skills. 

Some photos of the proud children with their posters below...

Vector Drawings

 As part of our computing work, we have used Google Drawings to create our own vector based images.

Work by: Jessica, Maisie, Charlotte, Ellen, Maria, Holly, Kai, Brodie, Tristan & Morgan.

We Don't Like Poetry!

As part of our current poetry topic, we have been studying figurative language and poetic devices. Our method for this was to look at Joshua Seigal's 'I Don't Like Poetry'.

Here are our efforts:

The Evolution of the Peppered Moth

The evolution of the peppered moth is an evolutionary instance of directional colour change in the moth population as a consequence of air pollution during the Industrial Revolution. We've studied this as part of our since learning. These comics (by Bella, Jessica and Marshal) were created by children whilst working from home:
