In Reading this week, our focus text is ‘The Hobbit’ by John Ronald Reuel Tolkien.
The Hobbit is a classic story of Bilbo Baggins – a home-loving hobbit
who enjoys a quiet and contented life in his cosy hobbit hole and
has no desire to travel afar. But then the wizard Gandalf and a
band of dwarves arrive unexpectedly and enlist his services, and
soon Bilbo finds himself part of an extraordinary expedition to raid
the treasure-hoard of Smaug the Dragon – and on the way becomes
the possessor of a very unusual ring.
In today’s lesson, the children looked at an extract which described the hobbit hole. Their task was to then draw and label the setting.
Take a look at Year 5’s fantastic work:
