Inspired by: The Trouble with Dragons - Week 4
English Resource Description
Embark on a creative journey with a series of engaging activities inspired by "The Trouble With Dragons". The first activity invites children to design a dragon party invitation, ensuring they remember to use capital letters for the days of the week. They'll need to include essential details such as the day, time, location, and type of party, helping the dragons spread the word about their festive gathering.
In another activity, children will step into the shoes of the woodland creatures who are less than thrilled with the dragons' noisy and messy parties. They will infer what characters like the fox, owl, bear, and others might say and create warning and stop signs to discourage the dragons from causing further trouble. The children are encouraged to consider what other signs might be necessary, such as Rabbit's plea for the dragons to stop littering. Additionally, they'll explore the science of states of matter by sequencing sentences to explain why ice melts when exposed to the dragons' hot flames, using key terms like hot, cold, melt, heat, ice, and water. They'll also ponder how water can turn back into ice. Lastly, the children will delve into emotions, inferring how the animals feel about the dragons' actions and expressing these feelings through their own interpretations of sadness and change.
