Dragons!

This week Mr John discovered a dragon egg whilst he was clearing the garden near our class. We looked carefully at it in class as well as looking at lots of pictures of dragons to try to help us imagine what the dragon might look like. We also thought about what it might do, where it might normally live and some other interesting facts.

The adults in class were so proud of our writing! What do you think?
