Home learning Activity - 6th Feb


Year Three “Home Learning” week of Friday 6th February
 
Here is my description of a dragon:

Serpenta, the dragon, had lived for a thousand years terrorising the inhabitants of the the Morgon Mountains. While not out terrorising poor villagers, he lay curled around his hoard of treasure, deep in the heart of an active volcano.

His body was covered in a glorious cloak of armoured golden scales, while beneath he was a pure turquoise blue. His claws were as sharp as knives and his teeth like razor blades. His face was fiery red and contorted in an ugly, vicious snarl. His nostrils were like twin volcanoes with grey smoke slowly curling from each. His tail was a strong as an iron chain and would whip from side to side as fast lightening.

He slept surrounded by the long rotten bones of knights who had been foolish enough to try to claim his gold. They had been toasted by his furnace breath.

More thoughts….
 
·        had teeth like rows of razor sharp diamonds set inside a jaw the size of a small room 
·        tail like an angry python that cracked like a whip as it swayed from side to sid
·        feet like a dinosaur, hard as rock, massive talons splaying out like an exploding bomb
·        small, mean, fiery dark green eyes that searched hungrily


For “home learning” this week I’d like you to try to write a description of your own dragon (or other mythical creature if you prefer).
