The sun grows pale. The wild things hide.
Frindleswylde is coming…
Cora lives happily with her granny in the woods in a house where a lamp always burns in a window, providing a light for Granny to find her way home when she goes out. Yet, when the ice spirit Frindleswydle snuffs out the light, Cora has little choice but to follow him into the wintry woodlands and try to defeat him by completing three impossible tasks.
However, even though she completes the tasks, Cora is still enchanted by Frindleswylde and joins him in his kingdom of ice where there are no feelings. Can Cora’s heart be melted, or is it too late for her?
Recently, year 4 have been studying the story of Frindleswylde and thinking about why he is so mean and unkind to Cora. We have used drama to help unpick the complex characters and to find out more about the story.
Over the next couple of weeks, we will begin to plan and write our own sequel to Frindleswylde. Where will out stories take us? Watch this space to see our fantastic writing!
