Hi Kizzy,
All I can think of, off the top of my head is to look at a union Jack flag as a symbol for our country, look on a globe where our country is, make union jacks with red and blue felts and lollipop sticks the children could make sandcastles and put flags in them, or you could make bunting for outside-counting. children could peg these onto a washing line themselves. Retell story of St George and the dragon simply, share happy dragon stories. you could laminate a dragon picture and place with playdough or in sand.
Sure others will come up with some good ideas
Lynda.
and have a happy birthday kit-kat

Hi Kizzy
If you are going to do flags, which are always simple and the children love waving them, then it should be the England flag not the Union Jack. When we have made them they have simply drawn a red cross on a piece of card and attached them to a lolly stick.

Sorry Kizzy,
Linda's quite right, hadn't got my brain in gear,
That,s what's good about this forum. It's like bouncing ideas off each other and that's team work
Thanks Linda

My grandson enjoyed having his face painted white background, red cross for the England world cup to show his patriotism :D

Woolies have got a lovely dragons dressing up outfir for about £10. I also managed to get a shield with a red cross on it and a sword from asda. We use the shield and sword for our St. Georges Display.

If you have the Lively Music scheme in school there is a section about dragons and a rap about Brave St George
