In the Style of Egil's Saga...



Molly's Saga

Brave boat

battered by the seas

violent encounters

courageous Olaf

battles against the dragon of the sea

Olaf has not won this battle

the dragon of the sea is triumphant

the crew are tired, hungry and sore

this day they will be with

Odin, Thor and Njord.

Dani's Saga

Bloody slaughter

amongst the wrestling waves

as the cruel sea

smashes the boat

as the jagged sea shore slays the boat

nothing remains

only sand...


Ronan's Saga

The men struggled to stay on board

the bruised boat

wild waves crashed onto the deck

the vessel was split in two

the sea swallowed them up


All class 4/5 saga style writing is on display outside the classroom.
