Subordinating conjunctions help to improve writing as they join two clauses and

often make it more interesting by providing additional details.

Did you find the ‘extra’ word?

It’s a word which has lots of different meanings, depending on the context of how it’s

used. How many different examples can you think of where the ‘mystery word is

used? Clue; it’s another word meaning playtime, it also can be used to describe when

a bone has been damaged and snapped.

Challenge 4; What can you find out?

Use the text to help draw an image of ‘Toothless’ and the setting that the text is in.

Think about what the text has told you about the dragon (use your retrieval skills)

and what you think you may know about it by reading in between the line and

unlocking the clues (using your inference skills).
