A dragon visits St Jude's....

The children had a very exciting day today when M P Robertson, popular children's author and writer of 'The Egg' came to visit St Jude's and bought with him his pet dragon!  Watch the video here to see how Mr Cox's morning walk was disturbed by a very unusual sight. 

The children were thoroughly entertained in our whole school assembly as they heard the funny stories Mark had to tell and they definitely enjoyed hearing his stories and watching the characters come to life. 

Over the course of the day, each class spent time listening to his stories and learning how to draw dragons.  The children were completely focused and drew some amazing dragons. 

What a fantastic day we all had.
