Earlier in the year, we looked at the writing of Philip Pullman and wrote a story influenced by the opening of 'The Subtle Knife'.
This week, we will be looking at the opening of the first book in the same series - Northern Lights. We have looked at the opening chapter before: it begins with a girl, Lyra, creeping through a dining hall of a college, trying not to be seen.
After this, the story moves North, to the arctic. Before we start looking at the writing this week, I thought that we should look at the title and learn about the northern lights.
Watch the video which explains what the northern lights are.
Now that we know what the northern lights are, look at these pictires of northern lights in the sky.
In your book, or on a piece of paper, can you draw a picture of the northern lights?
