Year 5 Poetry
Year 5 students have been exploring the use of figurative language in poetry. They have read a variety of poems identifying the use of similes, metaphors, personification and hyperbole. They have applied their understanding to writing their own poetry and have had a lot of fun in the process.

Similes and Metaphors
The towering lady had a voice like an uncivilised giant preparing for making the final, fatal blow.

The cat was bedraggled and badly broken and plod on like a sick snail.
The cars are statues of silver and gold shining in the sunlight.
The jacarandas are soft, fluffy, purple marshmallows.

A Limerick written by 5A
5A
There once was girl from our school
Who accidentally fell in the pool
She started to cry
And then ate a fly
Suddenly she wasn’t so cool
