Personification Poems

Room 6 has been learning about personification. Personification is when an inanimate object is given human charateristics e.g. "The thunder yelled a warning to all the people below". We wrote poems using personification to describe an inanimate object. Here are some of our poems:

The Moon

It is night.

The moon waits until the sun goes down so that he can speed across

the sky to find the waiting sun.

They swap places in the pitch black sky.

He checks on all of the children with his beady eyes.

He smiles because he knows that they are all sound asleep.

A Cloudy Poem

The clouds wake up in the morning,

Taking over the sky by stretching out wide.

Trying to hide the sun.

Playing with each other, joining together, moving shape.

Flying around carelessly, floating wonderfully in the sky.

When the sun goes down they bounce around with their friends the stars.

"Oh how I wish I could fly like cloud !"

By Megan D.

Line Drawing

It is Arts Week at Sunnyhills School this week. We have done visual art, dance, drama and music all week. It has been a fun and exciting week!

One of the highlights was having artist Graham Braddock coming to teach us about line drawings.

First, we listened carefully while Mr Braddock explained about perspective, shape and line quality. Then we sketched the lines of the picture, while he talked us through each stage.

Once we had finished drawing, we showed each other our pencil sketch. We were amazed at how good we were at pencil sketching, once we knew the steps to take!

We then started using vivid to go over our lines. Mr Braddock taught us about positive and negative spaces and using the vivid to create the effect we wanted.

Next, we shared our finished line drawings. We were so proud of ourselves!

Finally, Mr Braddock showed us how to use dye to enhance our work. We are going to have a try at dyeing our own work in class.

This was Mr Braddock's finished picture - we hope ours look as amazing! We are sure they will.
