This week in class we are discovering the magic of idioms. We have found out that an idiom is a phrase that means something different from the meanings of the words in it. Sometimes, we don’t even realise that we are using an idiom – it’s just a phrase we have heard and come to understand because of its context. Click here to view a really cool slideshow of the Kids’ English Idiom Art Contest 2012. Here you will see fantastic artwork for a number of common idioms. The artwork may even inspire you to illustrate an idiom of your choosing!
