We’ve been writing using figurative language this week in Year 6.

Then, we strived to use figurative language in our work. We wrote about one of these images…
Here is an example of some fantastic work written this week:

Help at home – write about one of the images with your child. Can they remember what each example of figurative language is and give an example? Why is figurative language used by authors?
