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:
https://blogs.glowscotland.org.uk/nl/ghshome/primary-7-transition/
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.
