How the Wrens helped Flame the dragon

A long time ago there lived a dragon called Flame. Flame was different to all the other dragons because he was born without any colour on his body. His scales were missing too.



Along came The Wrens who wanted to cheer him up. They learned that a dragon's scales are symmetrical and decided to create Flame some scales of his own using what they had learned about symmetry to help them:

 Next it was time to give Flame a colourful body. Everyone was willing to lend a hand:

 

Flame was soon looking more like the other dragons he lived with. He was beginning to feel much better!

Flame felt marvellous and magical!

 

Flame is so pleased with all the help that the Wrens have given him. He has decided to stay in our classroom and help us for a while!

 

 

 

What did you learn about symmetry?

 

Can you find some more shapes that are symmetrical?

Story Creators

This week the Wrens have been using their story creating skills!

We made some careful plans of the dragon stories we wanted to write:

We told each other our stories using our plans to help us:

We are now ready to write down the stories we created.

(Some of us were so keen that we started writing them down today!)

 

Can you be a story creator just like the Wrens?

 

 

¡Hola!

Today was European day of languages. We spent the day learning about Spain.

We looked at the Spanish flag...

...and learnt how to count in Spanish.

Tapas anyone?

 

Queso Manchego (Spanish cheese made from sheep's milk) and spicy Chorizo...

...green and black olives too.

Everyone tried something new.

We didn't all like everything that we tried though!

The Spanish Chorizo was very popular!

The Tapas on these plates is definitely not for eating!

What a fun day it was!

 

Adios!
