Dragon Challenge

Dragon Challenge 🐉✨

In Block 4, we’ll be stepping into a world of dragons - exploring legendary creatures from myths and folklore across the world, with a special link to Wales 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿.

Dragons come in all shapes, sizes and colours, and have appeared in stories for centuries. Together, we’ll discover their majesty through creative crafts, food, games and storytelling inspired activities.

Each week brings a brand new dragon adventure, designed to spark curiosity, imagination and lots of fun along the way.

Pawprint badges are a brilliant, creative way for children to work towards an end goal.

Your child will complete the activities and earn their badge virtually. If they’d like to collect them, badges can be purchased from the Pawprint website but this is completely optional.

Here’s what we’ll be getting up to each week:

✨ Week 1 - Dragons, Myths & Legends We’ll kick off with an exciting introduction to dragons. Are dragons real? Where do the stories come from? We’ll explore famous dragons from myths and legends, with a special link to Wales. Children will finish the session by creating their own flying dragon.
