We have been learning to write a poem about summer, using our senses. We were also focusing on using poetic devices such as similes, metaphors and personification in our poem.

That was summer Remember the time the beach was like a giant frying pan and the sand was about burn your feet to crispy bacon remember that. Remember the time the wave’s power was like a butcher’s meats Tenderiser slamming against the sand and the sound knocking on your ears remember that. Remember the milk shake that was so delicious it was if the flavour was dancing on your tongue exploding with flavour every vigorous slurp remember that. Think of the time you were so tired that you flopped on the couch like a deflated balloon. Think of the time you were so captured by a book it was if you were hypnotised by it! And the time there were so many cicadas that your head almost exploded like a bomb that was summer. Remember when you were boogie boarded so fast that the world blurred by and you thought it would never stop and you slid up the beach like a snake hunting prey remember that. And the time you sprinted down the street hearing the tormenting song of death dodaladoodododadodaladodadodo that was summer. And the time you played cards and surprisingly you won and you were so happy you felt like you could fly to the moon and back. Remember that amazing summer you had well I do!
