We have started our Myths and Legends topic and we’ve been listening to lots of stories. Miss Travers read us the story of St. George and the Dragon. Some versions of the story have George killing the dragon, but in others the dragon is actually quite friendly. We looked at the clothes and equipment that a knight might need. We looked at images of shields on the internet then we started to make the shape of our own shields. Once we had made our shield we started to cut it out, and then we decorated them. Some people put animals or mythical creatures on their shield, quite a lot of others made swords. There was a variety of things to do. I chose to make a lion and two swords. The shields look great on the classroom wall.
