Today, in our English lesson, we listened to some sounds of the sea in a storm. Whilst we listened to this, we wrote down how Michael, the main character in the book, felt in the storm and words he may have used to describe it. We used words such as: mesmerising, dominant, endless and devilish. Next, we looked at a poem called ‘’The Sea’’ by James Reeves. We evaluated it against different imaginative devices, for example, metaphors, personification, onomatopoeia, similes and alliteration. Finally, we had to rehearse the poem for a class performance, adding sound effects (body percussion) and actions. Here are a few of our performances: [YouTube video](https://www.youtube-nocookie.com/embed/nSVVhk_Npl4?rel=0) [YouTube video](https://www.youtube-nocookie.com/embed/Fs6IivmubcQ?rel=0) [Pupil Blog ](https://aberfordprimaryschool.co.uk/blog/tag/pupil-blog) [English](https://aberfordprimaryschool.co.uk/blog/tag/english) [ Homework Heroes - Spring - Week 1](https://aberfordprimaryschool.co.uk/blog/2017-01-10-15-22-32-homework-heroes-spring-week-1) [Pupil Blog - Forces in Action ](https://aberfordprimaryschool.co.uk/blog/2017-01-12-17-00-00-pupil-blog-forces-in-action) ### Comments ##### Lewis *13 January 2017* I thought that everyone did a astonishing job well done ! :) ### Leave a Comment ![Aberford C of E (VC) Primary School ](https://files.schudio.com/aberford-primary-school/images/logo/logo-footer(4).png) ### Aberford C of E (VC) Primary School School Lane, Aberford Leeds, West Yorkshire LS25 3BU 0113 2813302 0113 2813302 ### Useful Links - [About Us](https://aberfordprimaryschool.co.uk/our-school/school-day) - [Term Dates](https://aberfordprimaryschool.co.uk/term-dates) - [Admissions](https://aberfordprimaryschool.co.uk/our-school/admissions) - [Contact Us](https://aberfordprimaryschool.co.uk/contact) ### Social Media - [X](https://twitter.com/AberfordPrimary) ### Translation © Copyright 2016–2026 Aberford C of E (VC) Primary School School & Trust Websites by [ ![Schudio logo](https://aberfordprimaryschool.co.uk/img/logo/light.png) ](https://www.schudio.com/)
