What we are doing in English

In English, we have been learning about traditional tales. My Story or tale I chose was the story about Thor the god of thunder ( In Norse Mythology). One of the ways I decided to present my work was to make a model Out of clay of thors hammer (Mjölnir), I do not have any photos just yet as I am not finished my model.

Thor (In Old Norse Þórr) is the almighty God of thunder in Norse mythology, he is the son of Odin and Giantess Fjörgyn. Thor is associated with the day Thursday which comes from the word Torsdag in the Scandinavian countries and in the Germanic countries it is called Donnerstag which means thunder day and comes from the word Donar, which was the name of Thor in the Germanic countries. Thor’s hammer was forged by the dwarfs Brokkr and Eitri and it’s one of the most frightening weapon. When Thor is enraged, it makes loud noises with sparks and lightning. After the target is hit, Thor’s hammer will return to Thor’s right hand all by itself. I chose to do my story about Thor as I was recently watching the marvel movies with a character playing as Thor.
