We have also been learning about metaphors this week. Here is a metaphor poem that we wrote as a class about our class. Enjoy.

METAPHOR POETRY

LEARN: Metaphor – compares two things but does not use the words ‘like’ or ‘as’.

CREATE:

KAURI CLASS  

Kauri is a fire

Burning with great learning

Kauri is a herd of elephants

Charging into the class

Kauri is a Mastermind

Moving things with their brains

Kauri is a thunderstorm

Yelling everywhere we go

Kauri is a bunny

Caring for others

Kauri is a snail

Moving so slowly down to the mat

Kauri is a kangaroo

Bouncing with ideas

Get to know us because we are awesome

HERO interviews. If you like these, have a look at the full interview on the student learning sites.

Kauri have been learning to use similes in their writing. A simile compares two things using 'like' or 'as'. Here is the simile poem about our class. As you can tell, we have a sense of humour.

Kauri is as ….

Quick as a sloth

Slow as a tortoise

Large as a fully grown rhino

Happy as a maniac

Nice as Santa

Weak as a pencil

Strong as a baby

Loud as a room filled with elephants

Quiet as a thunderstorm

Brave as a soldier

Wild as a tiger

Lazy as a cat in the sun

Busy as a rat

Put it all together and you’ve got Kauri class!
