Animal family poems

We have been learning about similes. A simile is used to compare things using the words ‘as’ or ‘like’. We wrote animal family poems where we compared our family members to animals.

We used symmetry skills to draw the other half of an animal photo. This was quite challenging! We used a mirror to study the other half of the face first. Next we drew the outline of the animal. After that we added in the smaller details and coloured the animal using pastels. We are extremely impressed by how well our animal drawings turned out. You can’t tell some of them are drawings, they look like real photographs!🤩 We love how our writing wall turned out. Zoom into have a read at our poems.
