What a lovely day it is today! Have a look around outside, how many similes can you come up with. Remember, a simile is when you compare two different things by saying one is ‘like’ or ‘as’ something else. For example:
The clouds are as fluffy as candy floss.
I have compared the clouds to candy floss.
Another example: The sequins on my t-shirt are like sparkling diamonds.
How many can you come up with?
Outside Bingo – Explore your surroundings or when you go for a daily walk, look out for these things on the list. Even try and find the impossible!

In the link below is a worksheet where you have to add in the Speech Marks. Re-write the sentences putting Speech Marks around the words to show when someone is talking.

Your Health and Wellbeing task for this afternoon is to take a meal you have had this week and separate the meal into the Eatwell Guide categories. In your jotter, draw the plate and then draw the ingredients used to make the meal into the correct food groups.
For example, I had Macaroni Cheese last night for my dinner. So if I separate the ingredients, it will look like this:
Pasta – carbohydrates
Cheese – dairy
Milk – dairy
Onion – fruit and vegetables
Tomato – fruit and vegetables
Garlic Bread – carbohydrates
Sunflower Oil – oil and spreads
A fun game to play! Starting from the first letter of the alphabet, name of a food beginning with the letter A. The next person then has to name a food with the letter B and so on. You can have as many players as you like!
