Day 2: Creating word banks to describe mythological creatures.
Day 3: Using expanded noun phrases to describe mythological creatures.
Day 4: Creating and planning their own mythological creature (with a bit of drawing included to keep them interested).
Day 5: Children write a written description of their mythical creatures using the skills taught during the week.
