The\u00a0<strong>simile<\/strong>\u00a0is usually in a phrase that begins with the words &#8220;as&#8221; or &#8220;like.&#8221; This is different from a metaphor, which is also a comparison but one says something is something else, for example:<\/p>\n<p>As big as an elephant<\/p>\n<p>As cunning as a fox<\/p>\n<p>Soar like an eagle<\/p>\n<p>Have eyes like a hawk<\/p>\n<p>Can you find other examples of SIMILES connected to animals, either online (this link might be useful &#8211; <a href=\"https:\/\/examples.yourdictionary.com\/simile-examples-for-kids.html\">https:\/\/examples.yourdictionary.com\/simile-examples-for-kids.html<\/a>), or by asking someone at home?

To give you an idea of what I&#8217;m looking for, in my summary I might say:<\/p>\n<p>\u2018I have visited a number of places in England, my favourites so far being Newcastle, Cheshire and Liverpool. I got to see many exciting things in these places and I saw some famous landmarks such as The Angel of the North in Newcastle and the famous Cavern Club in Liverpool where The Beatles first played. I loved the shopping on my visits to Cheshire Oaks shopping outlets in Cheshire.<\/p>\n<p>I have visited Wales as a young girl and enjoyed visiting castles there. We took a family holiday to the Butlins resort in Wales too. I have an auntie who lived in the capital city of Wales, which is Cardiff.<\/p>\n<p>I have never been to Northern Ireland yet but I would love to visit, especially since one of my best friends \u2013 Mrs Stevenson, is from here! I would love to visit the Titanic Museum in Belfast!<\/p>\n<p>I have visited many parts of Scotland \u2013 our home country, over the years. I have had many shopping experiences in places like Glasgow, Stirling and Edinburgh. I have enjoyed trips to places such as The Glasgow Science Centre, Edinburgh Castle, Aberdeen Promenade and The Royal Mile. Some of my favourite places to visit in Scotland are South Queensferry, Pitlochry, Oban, Anstruther, and Loch Lomond. There are so many amazing places to visit in Scotland and I can\u2019t wait to get back out there when Lockdown is over!!!\u2019<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Finally, Mrs Anderson has a little competition for you all:<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/blogs.glowscotland.org.uk\/wl\/deansprimary\/files\/2020\/05\/Mrs-Anderson-COMPETITION.docx\">Mrs Anderson COMPETITION<\/a><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Hope you enjoy Wellbeing Wednesday and Mrs Lockhart and Mrs Morrison will be with you on Thursday and Friday.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Mrs Hillan<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<table>\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<p><u>\u00a0<\/u><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Hello everyone!
