This is going to be the second part of our fantasy story writing about our village in the marshes.
Today I want you to watch the next episode of Time Capsule Education's series on Youtube.
Listen carefully at the start, you may find we got at shout out...
Your task is to create a map of the world that our story will take place in. Tim will give you lots of hints and tips about creating your map, whether you do it on paper or digitally. You must include the following, as some of these places will be important in your developing story:
Beamfleot (the village in the marsh)
A forest or two
A river with at least one bridge
A road with an inn or two
A farm or two
Some hills
A windmill or watermill
Two or three other villages or towns
Luneden (the capital city)
A waterfall or lake
The marsh
Some standing stones
A pool, pond or spring in one of your forests

Topic: IALT: sort animal species into groups
I have attached a sheet with pictures of lots of different animals, can you sort them into the following groups?
Mammals, reptiles, amphibians, fish, birds and insects
Think about why you have classified them that way, see if you can remember the characteristics of each group.
