Teacher - Miss Davis

Our class is named after Cressida Cowell, who is an award winning children's author of book such as How to Train a Dragon, Wizard Once and Emily Brown Books.
To start us off, here are some sources to help you learn about our class author.

Reading of How to Train Your Dragon: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8wAeB09o0BI
Have you read any of Cressida Cowell's book? Which would you like to read?
Many of Cowell's books have dragons and Vikings. The children have researched both topics and used this to create quizzes, design and make dragons and describe them using adjectives. Children, here is a challenge: ask your adults at home one of your quiz questions or share one of your facts.
