Scottish / Burns Party

As a culmination to our Social Dancing block in P.E. P6/7 are having a Scottish party this Thursday afternoon, 1st February.  We will have some Scottish themed activities, food tasting and dancing the dances we have learned.

Children are encouraged to wear some tartan on the day, but should come to school in school uniform.  If they have a full Scottish themed outfit they wish to wear, they can bring it with them and change at lunchtime.

If children wish to contribute any Scottish themed food or drinks, they are welcome and that would be greatly appreciated.

 

Literacy

We are learning about similes this week, how it is used by authors to enhance description, and also how to use them to enhance our writing.

A simile is a way of describing something by comparing it to something else using ‘like’ or ‘as’.

Examples:

Her eyes are like stars and her lips are like roses.

The car was as fast as a cheetah.

 

Complete the following similes with your own ideas.

The children were as noisy as _______________________________.

The sea was as clear as _______________________________.

The night was as black as _______________________________.
