Year 6 Poetry: Idiom Poetry Display



There are many idions in common use which say one thing on the surface (the literal meaning), but actually mean something else.

Task: In neat, write up your final version of the 'foolish questions' idiom poem, and draw pictures of some of the idioms as if they were to be taken literally. What does someone look like if they're all ears? Or if they have eyes in the back of their head? Use pencil crayons, not felt tips.
