Good morning Year 5! Welcome to all 5U and 5K pupils. Thank you for coming on to virtual school today. We would like you to log into virtual school every day to access the learning. It is crucial that we maintain a routine that is as close as possible to a normal school day during the next two weeks. New learning will be available each weekday.

Writing

In yesterday’s writing lesson, we started to explore Pandora. Can you remember some of the planet’s key features? As a warm up, think about Pandora’s similarities and differences to Earth.

Toady, we will be using figurative language to describe the Pandora. Figurative language takes words beyond their literal meaning. We will be exploring how similies and metaphors can achieve this.

A simile is a figure of speech that directly compares two things.

For example: you were as brave as a lion.

A metaphor is a word or a phrase used to describe something as if it were something else:

For example: “A wave of terror washed over him.” The terror isn’t actually a wave, but a wave is a good way of describing the feeling.

Your task today is to come up with two similes and two metaphors for a variety of images linked to Pandora. If you need some examples, have a look at my videos underneath each picture. Also, watching the video from yesterday’s lesson may give you some ideas.
