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 the lesson, the children looked at an extract which described the hobbit hole. They then had to draw and label the setting.
Help at home: Read with your child today and draw a picture of the setting.
