Today Year 3 have been learning about St George and have been using the story about ‘St George and the Dragon’ to improve their writing. Children had to use a range of different sentence starters and structures to describe in detail a specific part of the story. Below are some examples of the children’s fantastic writing.
'Hurtling through the forest St George urged his enormous, white horse to go even faster. “I must rescue the maiden!” shouted St George. In the distance he could see the deep dark cave where the dragon lived. Courageously, St George jumped off his horse as made his way to the cave. As he arrived he could hear the dragon breathing heavily and two piercing yellow eyes appeared in the darkness. Horrified, St George clutched his sword and ran bravely towards the dragon.'

'Racing his trusty steed through the deep dark forest was St George. “I must rescue the Princess!” bellowed St George as he made his horse go even faster. Far away he could see the gloomy cave where the dragon was hiding. Fearlessly, he jumped off his white horse and tiptoed towards the dragon’s cave. Then he arrived, he could smell the dragon’s fiery breath. Terrified, St George grabbed his spear and ran towards the dragon.'

'Approaching the dark cave St George spotted the maiden.” Please can you slay the dragon for me?” she whispered. Behind her was the immense dragon waiting for its prey. Courageously, St George charged at the furious dragon and stabbed him powerfully under his wing. Exhausted, the dragon fell to its knees. The dragon had been slayed!'
