Good Morning P6/7! I am missing you all very much, hope you are all doing well.

Check out Mrs McMillans new post:

P7’s Mr Green has put a post up for you all on the main blog:

There are lots of videos on this link for your transition to familiarise yourself with some of the staff and pupils 🙂 There is also a section for you to ask any questions you might have.

 

 

 

LITERACY:

Starter:

Today, we are looking at similes.

Watch the video below and see if you can guess the simile as he draws it:

Activity:

A simile describes something by saying it is like something else.

You compare two things and can use the words “like” or “as”.

This poem below uses similes to describe what a meal is like.

How to make a meal

You need:

A plate as round as the moon,

Potatoes like White Mountains.

Broccoli like forest trees,

A sausage roll like a lumpy log,

And gravy as thick as mud.

I can create a poem using similes.

 

Can you create a poem for a dessert? Which dessert will you choose to describe?

Finisher:

Share your poem with someone at home, a friend on the phone or myself through email: dpark@woodlands.n-lanark.sch.uk

 

MATHS

In our lesson today we are moving onto converting m into km.  Useful facts:

1 km = 1,000m

0.5km = ½ km = 500m

0.25km = ¼ km = 250m

If you need to, you can watch the video I posted on Monday with more information of how to convert from metres to kilometres and vice versa.
