Summer Learning Journey Teaser

Summer Learning Journey Teaser 

On Thursday everyone in Korimako (apart from those that were away) had to start the summer learning journey teaser week tasks.

What is Summer Learning Journey: Summer learning journey is a whole bunch of set up tasks to keep us on top of our learning in the summer holidays.

for the teaser week I choose the task:    DAY 2: SPORT & LEISURE

Activity 1: Faster than a speeding bullet

Shelly-Ann Fraser-Pryce is a world famous athlete (sprinter). She currently holds the record for the 100m sprint and has been crowned “world’s fastest woman” a record four times!

Shelly-Ann was born and educated in Jamaica, a small country in the Caribbean that has produced many successful athletes and sportspeople. During her college years she did well in athletics, winning the Jamaican Schools Championships at the age of 16. She subsequently went on to win many races at both the Olympics and the World Championships. Over the years people have compared her running speed and that of other elite sprinters, like Usain Bolt, to many things, including animals!

When people make these comparisons, they often say things like: “Shelly-Ann is as fast as a cheetah” or “Shelly-Ann is fast like a fighter jet”. These comparisons are examples of similes. In many cases, similes are not exactly true.

1.     as slow as a snail
2.        as cold as Antarctica
3.        as tall as the b.f.g.
4.             as smart as Steven Hawkins

5.        as fast as a cheater

please give me feed-back!
Thank You!
