Similes – As fast as a cheetah. As… as a…. Saying that something is similar to something else.Alliteration – using words that begin with the same letter e.g. the fast, ferocious football flew through the air!Mild. I know that a shape poem describes an object, person or animal and the words of the poem form the shape of what the poem is about. I can use 1 simile in my poem.

Spicy. I can use 3 similes in my poem.

Hot I can include alliteration and similes in my poem. Use at least 5 similes.

Spelling: Choose 10 words that challenge you. Use Look, Say, Cover, Write, Check. Practise them 3 times (CAPITALS, sort them into alphabetical order, use a colour to write the spelling pattern). Then write 5 sentences using a word in each. Remember capital letters and full stops. Try to use one of these connectives (and, because, then, however) e.g. Beautiful birds fly high and sing loudly. mild spicy hotmay always portrayalaway display mayonnaiseclay holiday daydreamerday today nowadayshay betray passagewayNumeracy:
