Dragons

This has been one of our most successful topics of late. The children have not only worked fantastically in Forest School lessons but have wanted to follow up this in their own time creating comics about the dragons.

We started the lesson with a game of true and false where children had to run between trees to select their answer to a statement.

Marco Polo encountered dragons on his travels. True or False
Legend says Alexander the Great was the son of a dragon. True or False

After this links were made to their heroes work through discussion before starting on creating the dragons.

For some lessons children made themselves into the dragon but as the weather deteriorated dragons became creatures to ride upon the back of.

Some of the children were so excited they wanted to take the work further to put their dragons in to a story. After a few lunchtimes this is what they came up with.
