In Literacy, we have been exploring the poem ' Rabbit in Mixer Survives' by Roger McGough. We have been learning about the different ways in which imagery is created and enhances poetry specifically looking at metaphors. In class, we have been exploring the main character ' Grandad Rabbit' further using metaphors. The children had to create their own metaphors for Grandad Rabbit.
The children then played the Metaphor Game, Chiefs and Indians. The children walked around the room, like Apache Indians creeping into a rival camp, and stole the best ideas. However, they had to leave a token to the gods (coloured sticker) by the idea stolen. Once the time was up, the children went back to their seats and improved two of their own images.
Here are some examples of our metaphors:
If Grandad Rabbit were a car he'd be an abandoned Beetle with smashed windows and broken headlights. (Kailen Davey)
If Grandad Rabbit were a person he'd be an aged man with a bald patch on his head, his back hunched over supported with his walking stick, waiting at a bus stop. (Harry Hinton)
If Grandad Rabbit were a drink he'd be a cold cup of tea with sour milk. (Simon Ositelu)
If Grandad Rabbit were a game he'd be the Space Invaders game, old and vintage. (Emma Groom)
If Grandad Rabbit were a piece of clothing he'd be a pair of faded, worn blue jeans. (Archie Smith)
