Reading activities include constructing a timeline of pivotal events, predicting the twins' future escapades, composing a book review, and engaging in reading comprehension exercises. Grammar and punctuation are not overlooked, with a focus on adverbs, coordinating conjunctions, pronouns, and ensuring cohesion throughout the book.

The worksheet also encourages vocabulary development through a 'Words to Workshop' section, which includes words like 'transformed', 'assumed', and 'vulnerable', among others, for students to explore. Writing opportunities are abundant, with tasks such as completing an Explorer's Journal to document the Aurora's journey, writing a book review, and creating a newspaper report or script about the true events concerning Ernest Brightstorm. The session is not only limited to language arts but also extends to cross-curricular links, integrating science topics such as forces and evolution, history with a focus on exploration and the history of flight, and geography lessons on climate zones and natural resource distribution. Computing tasks include creating animations or games, and PSHE discussions on loyalty, courage, friendship, trust, and love. These multifaceted activities are designed to provide a comprehensive learning experience that spans across various subjects and themes.
