Our Year 4 students recently brought figurative language to life during Idiom Accessory Day, transforming the classroom into a vibrant celebration of imagination and learning.
Students learnt that an idiom is a common expression whose meaning cannot be understood from the individual words alone. For example, raining cats and dogs simply means heavy rain, while two peas in a pod describes people who are very similar.
Bursting with creativity, students arrived dressed as everything from two peas in a pod to raining cats and dogs, social butterfly, on cloud 9 and even break a leg, each costume very cleverly designed. They were truly a sight for sore eyes!
It was wonderful to see their enthusiasm as they explored the meanings behind these expressions in such a hands on, joyful way. Not only did the day spark plenty of laughter, it also strengthened their understanding of idioms through play, curiosity, and collaboration.
A fantastic learning experience for all involved!
