During their transition day, our current Year 1 children (soon to be Year 2) kicked off a new poetry unit. They absolutely loved exploring riddles, carefully investigating the clues. They then challenged themselves to create their own clues for various objects, using adjectives and similes. We were incredibly lucky to have Freddie and Oscar from the current Year 6 class in our room, who did some fantastic modelling of similes to help the younger children. The Year 1s then impressed us with brilliant examples like: "A snake is long and thin like a hosepipe," "A snake is green like a gecko," "An apple is round like the world," "A crab is snappy like a crocodile," and "A coin is shiny like the moon."
