Zog the Dragon

Date: 5th Mar 2024 @ 9:49am

Zog the dragon visited Reception. He made a big mess in the classroom and we used the iPads to take photos and videos of the crime scene. He lost his eggs and left us clues. We became detectives and followed the clues to find Zog’s eggs. We found them outside in the house.
We wrote Zog a letter to tell him that we had found his eggs. We then decided to leave Zog’s eggs outside and we built a den to protect them.
Zog came back for the eggs and sent us a photo of the baby dragons that had hatched.

Reception had lots of fun making Gruffalo pizzas this week. We made the pizza dough by mixing flour, yeast, salt and warm water together. Next we kneaded the dough till it was soft and smooth and then we rolled the dough out to make a round flat pizza shape. We carefully used the knife to cut different vegetables for his features.
We used tomatoes for his orange eyes, peppers for his terrible teeth, a mushroom for his nose and a pea for his poisonous wart at the end of his nose.
