Wellbeing

Your daily

activity

Think of a memory that makes you smile. Draw a picture to represent this memory.

Get your body moving! Play a song for a few minutes, shake off any tension you have and have a dance.

Try to bring a smile to as many people as possible today.

Make a poster to thank the postman/postwoman for bringing post to your door. Now display it in your window and show them they are appreciated today.

Take time away from a

screen today and read a

book. It’s good to indulge

in worlds that we can never

venture to in real life.

Have a lovely weekend.

Morning Maths







Monday Maths





Monday English

Figurative language.

Hyperbole, similes and metaphors are all types of figurative language that help to make your writing more interesting.

They can be particularly helpful for creating an image of what you are writing

about in the reader’s mind.

Watch the video on this BBC Bitesize page -


Hopefully, you are familiar with similes and metaphors.

Similes

A simile describes something by comparing it to something else, using the words like or as.

For example:

The carer was as gentle as a dove.

The man was as tall as a skyscraper.

Jess was graceful like a gazelle.




Hyperbole will be a new term for many of you. Hyperbole is used to exaggerate, intensify and emphasise different

points in your writing - it is not meant to be taken literally!

For example:

The doctor’s care was out of this world.

The nurses always gave it 200%!

Watch this Youtube video, which will explain this further.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kuzWLDWm6Zs

Metaphors

A metaphor is a word or a phrase used to describe something as if it is 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.

The lady told George, 'You are my sunshine'.

George isn’t sunshine, but it's a way for the lady to explain how great she thinks he is

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kuzWLDWm6Zs



Task

Now write five sentences inspired by these images that include either:

hyperbole

a simile

a metaphor

Here are a few examples:

HyperboleAt the end of a long day, the carer muttered, 'My shoes are killing

me!'

My family watched the video and Mum nearly died of laughter.

Simile

The team of doctors and nurses worked together like the stars and the moon.

Each day, the Healthcare Heroes’ care for others was like a sturdy boat!

Metaphor

The kind nurse had a smile that lit up the room.

Their work was a rainbow of care and love

Primary Source 2.

This source is from Asser, a friend of Alfred. Here is the context to this source.

Asser was a Welsh monk who was a friend, teacher, counsellor and biographer for King Alfred. His work (the Life of King

Alfred) is in two parts: Alfred’s birth to becoming king in 871 and then his reign and wars. It stops suddenly in 887 which

indicates it may be unfinished.

Asser’s Life of King Alfred.

In the meantime, the King, during the frequent wars and other trammels of this present life, the invasions of the pagans, and

his own daily infirmities of body, continued to carry on the government, and to exercise hunting in all its branches ; to teach

his workers in gold and artificers of all kinds, his falconers, hawkers and dog-keepers ; to build houses, majestic and good,

beyond all the precedents of his ancestors, by his new mechanical inventions ; to recite the Saxon books, and especially to

learn by heart the Saxon poems, and to make others learn them ; and he alone never desisted from studying, most diligently,

to the best of his ability ; he attended the mass and other daily services of religion ; he was frequent in psalm-singing and

prayer, at the hours both of the day and the night.

Primary Source 1.

The Alfred Jewel.

The Alfred Jewel has been dated to the late 9th century. Its purpose is not absolutely certain but it is

believed to be the handle of a staff that Alfred sent to each bishop. It is made from gold and enameled

quartz.

This object is made from precious materials: an enamelled image of a seated figure is protected by a

piece of rock crystal and set in gold. Around the edge the gold frame has letters cut out to read

AELFRED MEC HEHT GEWYRCAN, ‘Alfred ordered me to be made’, in the Anglo-Saxon language of Old

English.

The Alfred Jewel is about 6.5 cm long and shows an image of a man – possibly Jesus or St Cuthbert.
