Dragon bread and mystical numbers....

We spent a very busy week getting to know numbers and other things besides... here are some of the things we got up to... it has been unusual me taking so many photos of what we do - but i thought that we'd give a flavour of the day... wont be as many photos in the coming week.

The results of dragonbreading!


Number two - day and night, sun and moon, sea and land

Three - the introduction of perspective - front, back and side

Shapes associated with the numbers

I really must apologise for the uploading - for some reason it flipped all the following

Dragon making and slaying time!

It is still the season of St Michael!


The last bit of the song... the lady and knight ride off after slaying the dragon


The new picture - and a new song


Maths main lesson - the symbol on the right is a circle of course, and also the Sun, of which there is only one
We learn Roman numerals... hence the I, which is of course also the individual who is unique of which there is only ONE.

And today we made dragon bread!

The Eve of Michaelmas

Tis the eve of Michaelmas and the entire school took a trip to Ballymenoch Park to gather leaves which we will later make a dragon with. Here are some of the sights!
