Similes and Metaphors in Year 6

This term in Year 6, we are writing a tale of fear.

In our tales, we hope to create an intense atmosphere and a feeling of suspense. Therefore, we studied an image of an eerie setting and discussed how we can create similes and metaphors which intrigue the reader. This included discussing the use of appropriate comparisons as well as relevant adjectives, verbs and adverbs.

Below are some pictures of us working in groups to mind map some of our ideas.
