Figurative Language Anchor Charts – Onomatopoeia

Are you ready to get your pupils excited about onomatopoeia?

The idea of onomatopoeia may be new for some, but it’s one of the best ways to help pupils improve their writing skills. By adding fun words like ‘buzz,’ ‘woosh,’ ‘bang’ and ‘splash,’ we can make writing more enjoyable for our pupils.

These posters will help your pupils learn how to recognise examples of onomatopoeia in poetry and writing, which will help them improve their own writing skills. These onomatopoeia posters are a perfect classroom display to encourage and remind your pupils to add colourful and interesting words to their writing.
