In our English lessons, we have been reading the poem ‘The Tyger’ by William Blake. 

We discussed the figurative language used by the poet and identified features such as rhyming structure and the use of questions in the poem. We also looked for clues that tell us how the poet feels about tigers.

Then we planned and wrote our own poems about animals, inspired by William Blake’s poem.

You can read our finished poems here: ANIMAL POEMS

Can you work out how each poet feels about their chosen animal?
