Off to the land of dragons!

Today we read a story called The Dragon Machine. In the story George had to take all the troublesome dragons back to the land where they came from.

We decided we would help George so we made some maps showing him where to go:


Some of the tore the corners of the paper to help make our maps look old, like in the story.



















We added labels onto our maps to help George
see what to look out for on his way.

 
 
 
 
 
We scrunched them up too!
 
 
 
 
We 'painted' them with strong coffee to
make the paper look even older. 
 
 












Take a look at our finished work:







































 
We hope that George finds our maps useful!

Brilliant Bressingham

Here we are getting ready to board the coach to Bressingham -
we were all very excited!




First stop for some of us: the gardens...


Mr Bloom was busy working in the gardens as there is always lots to be done there.


He stopped working long enough for us to ask him some questions.
He told us that about 80,000 people visit the wonderful gardens each year!


We looked high and low at the beautiful trees and plants all around us.



On the bridge.  Can you see any trolls about?


Time for a minibeast hunt:




We kept a tally to record how many minibeasts we found.






Ladybirds were definitely the most popular find of the day!








We sketched the plants whilst enjoying the sunshine:









All aboard the carousel!


Lunchtime:




What a fun time we all had.
 Watch this space...more photos from our trip coming soon.
