Can you use your Fred fingers and all of your speedy sounds to work out the letters you need to write.

Can you write a sentence to say what you would like to teach Zog to do.

There is lots of maths you can do with a dragon!

Cut out some giant dragon feet and put them around your house or garden.

What could you use to measure them?

Can you make a dragon by cutting out 2D shapes. Can you cut the shapes out yourself? As you are cutting them out ask yourself ..... Do they have straight sides or curvy sides? Are there any corners? How many sides do they have. What shapes will you use for the different parts of the dragon? There is a 2D shape dragon sheet attached to the bottom of this blog if you want to hae some hel with the shapes.
