We have enjoyed learning about what a metaphor is. If you don't know, a metaphor is; it is a phrase that is used to make a comparison between two things, without using the words like or as.

As a class we brainstormed some ideas and came up with:

Room 21 is a lifejacket, keeping each other safe and warm.

Room 21 is a rocket, always trying to reach higher with our learning.

Room 21 is the Adventure Park, finding new tracks leading towards new learning. 

Next, we completed an individual metaphor, thinking carefully about how we can represent ourselves.  Take a look at our very creative metaphor I Am poems, which we wrote on postcards for our partner school, Wymondley Road in Auckland.

Take a look at the message it all created once we had our postcards joined together.

We also had to fill out a poster all about Room 21 to share with Wymondley Road School.
