How are you finding How to Train a Dragon? It's really interesting to hear the author read her own story because we can know it's the actual way in which she wants the story to be read.
Today we're going to read Chapters 5 and 6 (they are in the same video).
When you have finished, create a table to compare How to Train Your Dragon and The Wyrmstooth Crown. You can keep adding to the table as we continue reading the story.

If you have any spare time over the weekend and are stuck for things to do, have a look at this list of 100 ideas of things you can do at home. https://www.teachingpacks.co.uk/100-challenge-ideas-for-home-learners/ A final quick note about next week: Next week is a short school week. Had we been at school, we would have been off school on Thursday and Friday. We're still having those two days off from learning, so there will only be home learning blogs up from Monday to Wednesday next week. It's important we still have a break from learning and do other things to relax. Take care, we miss you lots, Ruth and Emily Comments are closed.
