Dragon of Wantley

The Dragon of Wantley (Wortley) is England’s most famous dragon legend; in the form of a highly popular somewhat bawdy ballad about a knight, More of More Hall, called upon to slay a dragon preying on children and cattle.
We read the ballad, planned and created our own dragon from the description in the first verse.

We worked together in small groups and have nearly finished each individual dragon.
Come along on Friday at 2:30 and see the completed collages!

The Dragon of Wantley is great.
Everybody worked as a team.
The dragons had 7 heads and sharp teeth with a pointy tail.

Best dragons!

I could remember. The dragon had 4 and 40 teeth of iron. Two furious wings, with a sting in his tail as long as a flail.

I loved doing our own dragon of Wantley . It was complicated with the heads because the gold paper would not stick down but it was super fun.

Mr Rob here! Proudly celebrating 20 years here at the chalk face. Who would have thought when I trained in an old Victorian school opposite Allott’s corner that I’d still be enjoying, with a passion, everyday I spend with our children at HCPS. Onwards to the next 20!
