P5-7 have really enjoyed reading the novel “How to train your dragon”.  They have developed their reading skills as well as talking and listening, sharing ideas and opinions.

Pupils were working on writing instructions/procedures and used this genre of writing to create instructions about ‘How to catch a dragon’.  Pupils used a storyboard first, to identify the steps and to experiment with how diagrams/illustrations can support the reader’s understanding of the text.  Here are some examples.
