P5-7 How to train a dragon

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.

 

Grand Opening

A brand new hotel has opened in the local area today, all guests welcome from the furry to the slimey to the slithery and the spikey! Lovely warm and safe accommodation perfect for long winter snoozes. Built with love and care by a team of crafty little builders. Well done to Mason for the great name and well done to everyone for all your hard work in building the hotel. I’m sure it will be a hit with all the local bugs and critters!
