Term 3 Week 1: Metaphors and Similes

This week's lesson was on Metaphors and Similes, which are figurative language.

Metaphors are like describing something as another object. For example, "My dog is a dinosaur." is something like saying that your dog is a dinosaur, although in real life it is not possible. This kind of figurative language could let us describe the "indescribable" and give us a good look at just what this thing is like.

Similes are describing objects to be like something else. For example, "She was as calm as a cucumber" is describing a "her" that is calm, just like a cucumber. It comes in other forms like "He flew like the wind".

And here are a few metaphors of Life:

Life is a colouring book

Waiting for you to put

The last finishing touches in it

And make it look beautiful

Life is a supermarket

With a whole gallery of choices

For you to choose carefully

And make your purchase

Life is a wrestling match

Where you're fighting for victory

Using all kinds of tactics

To outwit your opponent

Term 2 Week 10b: IT Lesson 2 - Poem

Here is the poem that I created:

I remembered the time

When we used to played soccer

During our recess time

And end up wet as sponges

You used to be a hero

During exam MCQ

You shaded all the "A"s

And got yourself in trouble

Remember Mister Jason?

He used to be so sissy

That he became a "star"

In the very last school year

You would always come over

You said you want to revise

But instead of studying

You'd rush to the computer

John and Mike were like brothers

They would to things together

And always be together

And always stirred up trouble

So much laughing and shouting

That would evoke memories

Dude, want to do it again

If we could go back through time?
