Reduce, Reuse, Recycle

Our end-of-year concert is coming up, so we've been practising the song we'll be singing. It's called The 3 Rs, by Jack Johnson and it's all about reducing, reusing and recycling. Some of it's tricky to sing, but we're learning fast!

Today, we learned about similes. A simile is a figure of speech that explains how one thing is like another. We can use them to make our writing more interesting and to paint a mind-picture for the reader. They can help to explain things that are difficult to describe. We thought of lots of examples:

• A tall as a giraffe
• As soft as a pillow
• As hard as concrete
• As strong as my dad
• As green as grass
• As pretty as my mum
• As cold as snow
• As light as a butterfly

We chose our four favourite similes and made posters.
