Producing the artwork provided an opportunity to discuss specific vocabulary like foreground, background and horizon. The shapes used to create their subject also become a mathematical focus.
The group discussed some of the adventures that a dinosaur or dragon might have. Would these creatures have friends like they did? How might their experiences affect how they felt?
We share with you their results:
Victor
One day my dragon went to a new school
because he got too old for his other school. He was happy to go to the new school. His friend was coming to the same
school. They were going to play together.

dragon story
Yesterday my dragon took me to a circus. My
dragon blew fire into a hulahoop.
One day a girl went to Riccarton and bought
a dragon toy. She made a dragon garden and she played with it. She put the new
dragon in the garden and it looked like a real dragon garden. At night the
dragon turned into a real dragon. It flew up into the sky. There the dragon
found and married a princess. They lived happily ever after.

My dragon was happy because she was hurt
and a girl helped her. Her leg was bleeding so the girl put a bandage on it.
The girl and the dragon were friends. They went to the playground to play on
the swings.

Bingo the dinosaur was off to Dinosaur
School to learn how to run faster so that he could beat the Tyrannosaurus
Rex. One day 32 dinosaurs were playing tag
with their teacher when Bingo ran back to his classroom. He did not want to
play any longer. He saw Kritosaurus and Bingo ran away. He ran to my house. I
opened the door. Bingo ran in. He locked
the door and went into my room. What would he do?
