Shyla is the one and only batmobile ordinary looking,

but awesome and unique inside with tons of superpowers.

Shyla is A torn, faded white cricket ball, you would find in a park, flying through the air with a bit of spin.

Shyla is A grilled cheese sandwich,

all toasty and warm but a little bit cheesy.

Shyla Is a pair of nice cosy sweatpants lazy and casual

but comfy as well.

Shyla is a colorado blue spruce loves to be festive but not to fancy.


Kate is a motorbike roaring with life and positivity

Kate is a palm tree going with the flow, swaying gently in the wind

Kate is a Barbeque pork sandwich with all the flavour and personality pouring out in sauces

Kate is a scarf tying everything together and shielding others from the coldI am

Julia is a train chugging happily along through life slow and steady.

Julia is a bonzi being shaped by the people around her.

Julia is a supermarket all ways stocking up on new foods keeping her customers as happy as she can.

Julia is a sprinkle sandwich colorful bright and happy with cheap white bread fresh from her childhood memories.

Julia is a onesie always snuggled up on the couch happily watching netflix.

Annalise is a mint green vespa small and shy when you meet her but actually is outgoing and loud

If you were a tree what kind of tree would it be?

Annalise is a Cherry blossom always blooming with happiness and slowly growing bigger

If you were something you find in your community what something would it be?

Annalise is a park full of different personalities and obstacles

If you were a kind of sandwich what kind of sandwich would it be?

Annalise is a sweet and salty BLT she is full of energy has a sweet side to her and can be quite salty

If you were an item of clothing what kind of item would it be?

Annalise is a shoelace pulling everyone closer together and keeps things from falling apart

Now collate these into a poem to publish for display - insert images to match your metaphors.

I am…...

a freight train moving pace and power through sport and challenges.

I am……

I am……

a pair of harden 2’s, stylish but discreet   By Adam 

Alexander is a Bullet Train, speeding through things and hating to be

STOPPED and interrupted.

Alexander is the Shortest and Smallest bush in a huge forest with amongst the most gigantic trees, enjoying to be alone in a quiet and peaceful place doing something without any distraction.

Alexander is an Office in a Skyscraper in the city, only focusing on and paying attention to what’s happening inside him, not paying the slightest attention to the vast and complicated world outside.

Alexander is a small chicken sandwich put beside his music book, Enjoying the sound and harmony of music, sometimes soft and beautiful, sometimes loud and majestic.

Alexander is a Waterproof outdoor jacket, enjoying to explore and spend time with Nature.
