I may have finished with this inquiry unit, but the children and the learning has not abated! Several stories have been written and published during Writers Workshop. Dragons have become a constant theme in their written work.

Roland’s story " The Legend of the Dragon"

Dragons are searched out in books, illustrations, artworks, and clouds!

We had a fabric artist, Mrs. Hutton, come to the school from Profiles Gallery in St. Albert to do fabric workshops with the children. A vast majority of them created dragons as their focal point on their banners.

One student has had her birthday party since this inquiry…and it became a medieval feast, with a quest (with written clues) and a dragon "Pete the Ferocious" as their piñata.

The commitment to their learning, their active involvement and their approach to learning has never been keener!
