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’.

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!

Kauri dressed up as their HERO from the past.

People who have changed the world.

Kauri have been LEARNING about people who they admire and who have changed the world. They have then CREATED treasure chests and artifacts that could have belonged to that person. 

Using green screen, the class are filming and posting interviews with their HERO. Here is 'Steve Irwin' being interviewed as an example. 

Look forward to Kauri SHARING their interviews on their blogs over the next week.
