For the past two lessons, Year 5 have been looking at figurative language. During the first lesson, we had a scavenger hunt! Around the room were 28 different sentences and the children had to find them and decide what type of figurative language it was.
Types of figurative language:
- simile
- metaphor
- alliteration
- personification
- hyperbole
- onomatopoeia
- idiom
For the next lesson, the children wrote a descriptive paragraph that contained different types of figurative language.
Have a look at some of their fantastic work:
Help at home: Discuss the definitions of each type of figurative language or
create a descriptive paragraph using different types of figurative language.
