Poems, drama and figurative language in Year 5 — with interactive practice.

Language arts in Year 5 focuses on poems, drama and figurative language.

Pupils explore poems and drama, and learn figurative language like similes ("as brave as a lion") that compare using "as" or "like". These make language colourful and expressive.

Remember

  • A simile compares using "as" or "like" (as brave as a lion).
  • Figurative language makes writing expressive.
