Choose a favourite sea creature and draw or print a picture of it in the centre of a piece of paper. Write words around it to describe how it looks and moves. Use your ideas to write sentences, using a rich vocabulary to personify their creature. For example ‘The crab grabbed the seaweed for his lunch’ or ‘The sea worm snoozed lazily on its rocky couch.’ You can also use these ‘missing word’ sentences as prompts. For example ‘The starfish… at the fish’ or ‘The penguin… to the pool’. You could research a range of personification poems to read for inspiration or use the ones below.
