…You now might like to design your own dragon, using whatever materials you choose. You might even want to make a 3D model of your dragon! Include details of your dragon’s special power, its scariness or cute factor, its speed and how you managed to train it! If you wish to use it, a template can be found here – https://www.booktrust.oruk/globalassets/resources/childrens-laureate/2019-21/how-to-train-your-dragon-design-your-own-dragon.pdf
