KS2 writing fiction worksheet that helps Year 5 and Year 6 children plan their own mythological creatures by naming each one, deciding where it lives and listing its magical powers or strengths.
The page opens by explaining that mythological creatures often have magical powers, look unique (head of a horse, body of a lion) and can be good or bad, with common examples including sea-serpents, unicorns, monsters, reptiles, birds and dragons. A worked example introduces Hydragon, a creature that lives on a hill overlooking villages and can shrink, transform itself and spit fireballs. Children then create four mythical creatures of their own, giving each one a name, a habitat and a set of magical powers or strengths.
