Week 3 - Establishing learning intentions

After completing the HOT map on our thinking and prior knowledge of similes, we established our learning intentions for knowing what a simile is, identifying similes in writing, creating new similes and using these in our writing.

As we worked through the interactive activity and a Notebook simile lesson(for Smartboard), we identified the features of similes. Each time we came across another aspect or feature, the children would turn back to their Circle map and add these in in another colour.
