Night is a blanket

D1 and D2 have been learning how to write similes and metaphors this term.  This week we looked at the story called "Night is a blanket" and then wrote our own pieces of writing about the night.  Here is a selection from a few children so far.

Night is a giant letting the blanket go.  The night is like a blackbird hovering over the earth.  The night has holes that are stars and the biggest hole is the moon.  The night makes its people go to sleep - a deep, deep dreamy sleep.  The night blanket eats the light in its path and makes the night.  It is like a giant piece of black paper.

BY BREE
The night is like a tent covering up the light.  The night sky is like when the light is turned off.  The night covers like a blanket.  It is when you are in you're bed and you can't see.
