A newspaper report, supplied in Word so you may edit, including a Newspaper Title, Headline, strapline, columns, picture and caption, witness quotes and the key info in the first paragraph. The theme is Dragons being sighted by Anglo-Saxons off the coast of Northumbria shortly before the Vikings attack Lindisfarne (this links with historical fact: people reported seeing dragons off the coast of Northumbria leading up to the Lindisfarne raid). Inference skills are therefore tested here too!
I have included some questions (differentiated - 2 levels) for your children to respond to.
